I'd suggest you get a 2nd router and put something like ddwrt or openwrt on it, then cascade with your first router.

Any device that needs 'secure' access can then be connected to the 2nd router with everything else connected to the primary (non secure) router. This means your normal browsing/downloading will run at your full speed.

If your running a server, then i'd also suggest you get a vpn with a static ip address. This costs slightly more but is pretty much necessary so that clients know where to connect and you can port-forward properly.

An alternative to a vpn is a vps. These can be had for as little as ?5 a month and can easily be set up to handle vpn connections as well as other servers or proxies. You could also opt for a private dedicated server. OVH do small servers starting from ?8.99 per month which will easily handle a few dozen vpn connections (you could set up as a small vpn provider) as well as various other servers (ie 400Gb of ftp access for files, or your own 'permenantly on' personal webserver etc....)

The object of the exercise is to prevent the ISP from snooping/logging your data. From the ISP's point of view all they would see is a single highly encrypted datastream between yourself and the vpn server. They could not determine the contents of that stream or the final destination of the data.

The vpn wont affect any data counters the ISP has in affect (except to increase the count by a small amount due to protocol overhead)

Yes, thats the way I do things.

Main router is connected to modem (if you have a superhub turn off the router function and connect a dedicated router, superhubs are dire things). Most devices that require unsecured net access are then plugged into this first router and they will get full unrestricted line-speed. The WAN port of the second router is then also connected to the fist router (cascaded). The second router is set up so it ALWAYS connects via your VPN service thus all of its lan ports are encrypted/protected. Anything connected to the lan ports of this second router are thusly automatically also protected.

Warning, it can be fairly fiddly (and frustrating) to set up this kind of network as unless you get everything perfectly set up it just wont work, with no indication as to why !!!!

If you intend to run a server on the encryted link then you'll need a vpn with a static dedicated IP address. This IP is dedicated to you alone for the duration of your service and will allow your clients to connect to you (most vpn's use shared dynamic IP's which are very difficult to utilise with a server). You will also need some familiarity on setting up port forwarding and routing and possibly knowledge of firewalling

[quote[What router would you sagest,[/quote]

Personally, I use two dlink dir-615's bought off ebay for ?5 apiece. The main router has dd-wrt on it whilst the second one has a custom build openwrt on it (custom build was necessary to get the openvpn application installed within such a small flash memory device). You may be better off using a device with larger flash memory for the second device so it can support a bigger build of dd-wrt with openvpn built in rather than using custom openwrt builds. See the dd-wrt site for info regarding router capabilities .

Also whats the vpn on in the blackhole image all about mate,Thanks for your help lads

Not sure on that one, although i'd hazard a guess that its maybe an image for a dvb box that has a built in openvpn client. Putting an openvpn client onto your dvb box would be a simplification of the cascaded router scenario as you would only need a single router but you could also only protect the one device. If you used this method then its generally quite simple to set up although proper port forwarding can still get quite hairy for a server setup

It depends on how you intend to build your network. In theory you could run an openvpn server but that would require all your clients to connect using an openvpn client. Most linux type boxes would support that although if your running the openvpn server on on a relatively slow processor it wont support many clients.

If you intend to use this method with more than five or six clients then i'd suggest a virtual-private-server (VPS) be used as a proxy/cache. The VPS could also double as a vpn server if set-up properly.

This is what I was trying to say... The op said he was topping out his caps.. And vpn won't help in this case.

The op's main concern is to hide his CS activity - so vpn will help him.

Whenever I face any problem like facebook has blocked or other account issues I use a VPN or proxy service to access it. Generally I use "Hotspot Shield VPN", It is very convenient to use and it also protects my identity from snoopers by hiding my IP.
