How does this VPN service work r7009

Does the VPN client: 

 

1) use your router as a VPN so I can route into my home network connection

2) allow the router to connect to a VPN such as PrivateInternetAccess and then route all traffic through that?

3) both

 

if 2 or 3, is this the documentation?

  • Cool. At least I got my answer.

    So the only way to do number 2 is to install dd-wrt?

        That's great news.  I'm gonna try Asusmerlin-wrt.   I've had issues setting up guest wireless on DD-WRT.

        It will be nice to use PIA VPN configured on the router as opposed to the connecting devices.
