The purpose of this article is to assist with using a VPN service to select where your internet is being routed in order to improve network performance.
Setting up a VPN on your network may help with internet communication issues you may be experiencing. For a VPN service, we recommend Private Internet Access! With Private Internet Access you can have up to 10 devices registered with a single account. For more devices you will need to sign up with another account to get an additional 10 devices. To get started with a VPN, navigate to https://www.private and click on “Get Started Now”.
