Hi all,

Im after a VDSL modem router that has support for using VPN services, I would prefer just having one unit so must be a VDSL Modem combo - preferably one that works with DSL-Stats, however, Im open to suggestions of using two units.

can anyone recommend such a device?
I have a ZyXEL VMG8924-B10A that I could use as the modem if Im gunna use two units.

Also, Do I need a static IP address for this to work?

thanks in advance

I'd be very surprised if you find a solution for this.  Generally speaking the better routers with such functionality, wont have DSL built-in, or will have crap DSL built-in.  This is why the forum mantra is pretty much use a dedicated DSL modem/bridge, then get a good router to go with it.

You already have the modem side covered, just get a good router and put up with having a two-box solution, its the only way to be sure you're getting the best DSL and router functionality.

Im open to using two devices as I said, just would have preferred a single unit.

can you recommend any good routers that work bridged and with VPN? I wouldnt mind trying Tomato or other 3rd party firmwares

What's your price range, this is currently £116 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MU50C41?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Synology RT2600ac Wireless Mesh Router

I could find a draytek VPN vdsl router combo if needed, but it will not work with DSL stats.

Regarding the VPN is this a hop on to or a permanent connection?

I'd also suggest you stay away from combo units and you could go for a Wi-Fi router to connect to your Zyxel, e.g. Asus RT-AX68U or RT-AX86U with Merlin onboard !
My setup (and will never go back) is actually modem + x86 router running OPNsense + Wi-Fi - lots of "fun"

yeah, that's what im looking for, I'm not really too bothered about having to run two devices so let's just go with that.

Im after putting the VPN at the router/modem level so all devices are using the VPN (Nord or Express), I would like to try 3rd party firmware as I've heard you get way more abilities and flexibility.

I'll take a gander at your suggestions thanks
