VPN server or VPN client
I am trying to set up NordVPN on system which comprises a Virging Media Hub 3.0 (running in modem mode) and an Archer AX73 router
I have several devices connected to the router, some via wifi and some via ethernet. Some of these I wish to rout through the VPN and others I wish to pass directly to the web. Under VPN Client/Device List I have set up and activated all required devices.
I will not be connection to my local network from the web.
I have read endless artlicles on VPN client mode versus VPN servermode but I am stlii not really sure which is the best mode to use.
I do understand that if I use the client mode no extra software is needed on the deevices passing through the VPN; whereas with VPN client eacg devive will need specia software.
My questions are theses
1. Which mode is best for me?
2.Do I need to activate both modes on the router or just one of them?
3. Will it matter if both are connected at the same time?
