So i was just wondering is there any benefit of running a vpn from the router over say software on a firestick? and if so what's the best protocol to use openvpn or ipsec?
Right now I run the vpns own app on firestick which works fine just wondering would it run better from the router and if so what's the best protocol?Do you mean a VPN from a Firestick dongle on your TV to your router?

Thanks for all of your replies to I'm only getting into all of this so it's appreciated.Assuming you are using a VPN service, perhaps they can recommend protocol and usage.

500 down haven't a clue what upload is on speed tests it's 36.What is your ISP paid for speeds u/d?
What router do you have? What firmware is installed?
What speeds, issues, or bottlenecks does using the VPN now cause that you want to alleviate?
