VPN

[Durbin]

Hi

Bear with me! I have never used vpn yet

If I get an vpn account ie. PIA, purevpn or whatever. I can add an PPTP or OpenVPN in the nas? But if I buy an account then what? Can I use all providers or?

My concern is when I use download center or an bittorrent software. If I get a vpn provider will all my trafic when I download pass through the vpn provider to my nas or do I have to do something else?

Anything else?

Thx

As I know, all traffic to/from outside will go through VPN.

If you buy an account at a VPN provider, you get an user-name, password and a list of available servers. These criteria are needed to get the VPN tunnel established. For Open VPN you also need an certificate and a key for encryption of the traffic.

Some providers do not keep access logs, at least they say. No logs means more anonymous.. if you really do want to stay anonymous, stay off-line.

If you enter all the right info in the VPN client of your NAS and you are able to connect, you can assume all traffic will goes through th VPN tunnel.

In ADM desktop click on System Information icon, click on Network tab and you can see the WAN-IP is the VPN IP address.
