Just sign up to a vpn service that uses shared IP, so even if they are forced to turn over records or logs, nothing can be directly traced back to you. They're only around $40 a year.
Wrong, the endpoint sees a shared IP, the VPN service provider itself can track everything...$40 a year does not buy anonymity it just shifts who can track you.
home users pretty much never have a real reason to use a VPN router, unless they telecommute or the like. When I was a field tech for a local ISP, I only came across this once for a personal account, and it was for their work.
if you get a VPN service that supports the use of a VPN router, it means the router itself establishes the VPN tunnel. This then means you do not need to run VPN software on each computer to establish the VPN tunnel.
Some posts in this thread are making this out to be much more complicated and obscure than it really needs to be. The OP is asking a fucking question for God's sake, what's the point of some of the harsh posts?
Clearly you only read a small amount of this thread. The OP's question was far more broadranging than what does a router with VPN capability do - wikipedia would have answered that.
The OP is asking for something that is technically impossible, and asking it in such a way as to just about avoid breaking the T&C's of this forum.
