    Hi guys i am totally new to this. My aim is to set up my vpn so i can use my xbox through it! I need it to say im in the uk! I have downloaded purevpn, and i have bought: http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F9K1002/

    Firstly: whats the easiest way to do this?

    Secondly I have two routers, the default netopia that comes with eircom and the belkin will these routers suffice?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, really need advice especially on the routers! Also do not want to spend mad money if i can avoid it!

    Thanks :)

    I tried this. my main questions really is do i need 2 new routers or will one new router, with pvn support, suffice?

    Also what specifications does the router I buy need to have? when I rang harvey norman and pc world they didnt know what pvn was

    hmmm your better off with dns spoofing over a vpn, vpn has the overhead of encrypting your traffic, which is bad if your gaming or looking for video over your connection, a plenty of location DNS service providers around, will do what your looking for minus the said performance penalty / overhead.

    You would just manually enter your new DNS settings into any routers configuration webpage, no need to buy a new router
