Does anyone sell a router for the home that has a VPN built in? So that I dont have to have every computer in my home hook into the VPN when I start it up. Just one account for my whole house? I imagine you could setup a linux box to do that for you, but I am lazy...

Pretty much all decent routers have a built-in VPN. Even old Apple Express routers have the feature.

  Yes, but you still need a server to connect them to.

I'm pretty sure you can do this with a router running DDWRT or OpenWRT.

  Anyone thinking about futzing about with a WRT router should move their attention to Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter Lite [1] which is an amazing entry level enterprise-grade router that costs ~$99 to buy. It has all the configuration options and more that WRT provides in a native higher-powered router unit. I found that none of the WRT powered routers could really handle a home 1Gbps connection and that the WRT is getting a little out of date and unmaintained.

Get a asus rt-n16, and throw advanced tomato on it. Then plug in vpn settings into the vpn client, and your all set.

  Thx for the suggestion, advanced tomato looks great. Some of the reports on the rt-n16's capacitor issues concern me. But then again I am getting in the habit of replacing the capacitors in my electronics.

Here's one: https://www.perfect-privacy.com/vpn-router/ https://www.perfect-privacy.com/vpn-router/ although I picked up one of these e2500's at the goodwill by my house for $1.50. I have one and wanted a spare. Here's another: https://www.flashrouters.com/?gclid=COzwtN-B_NICFZcbgQodMdAPTA https://www.flashrouters.com/?gclid=COzwtN-B_NICFZcbgQodMdAP...

You realise that routing all your home LAN traffic over the same VPN located ... at your home ... still gives your ISP all your personal browsing traffic. Though your kids won't be able to snoop you from the internal interface.
