If you’re not familiar with VPNs, they allow you to change your IP address and encrypt your traffic. This comes in handy for protecting your privacy online and accessing geo-blocked content.
Here’s how to set up a VPN with Exodus:
1. Sign up for a VPN account. We recommend IPVanish as it’s fast, secure, and easy to use. Plus, it has a 7-day money back guarantee so you can try it risk-free.
2. Download and install the VPN software on your device(s).
3. Connect to a server location of your choice. For most users, we recommend connecting to a server in the US or UK for the best speed and reliability.4 Open Exodus and start streaming!
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet. You can use a VPN to access resources on that remote network as if you were physically connected to it. Many businesses use VPNs to give employees remote access to their work computers, for example.
So how might you go about setting up a VPN with your WiFi router? One option is to install specialised firmware on your router that supports VPN connections. This could be something like DD-WRT or Tomato, both of which are popular third-party firmware options for select routers. However, not all routers are compatible with these firmwares, so check before proceeding. Once you have the appropriate firmware installed, setting up a VPN connection is usually just a matter of following directions from your chosen provider.
Another possibility is to connect an Ethernet cable from your computer directly into one of the ports on your WiFi router (usually labelled “Internet” or “WAN”). Then you can configure your computer to connect to the VPN server without going through the router. This has the advantage of being simpler to set up in most cases, but it does mean that only that one computer will be able to benefit from theVPN connection—other devices on your network will still be using unencrypted Internet connections . . . unless they too are configured to connect directly into the WiFi router via Ethernet!
