Anyone have a solution to adding a VPN to an erro pro 6?
Run a pihole or something similar as a proxy
You need something on your network that is able to run a VPN server. I’m currently using a Synology running their VPN Server application, but have a Firewalla as my router that I might switch over to. You will need to have port forwarding setup on the eero to whatever device you end up using.
Configure double NAT on eero gateway with Luxul abr5000 router
I have Surfshark starter but will upgrade to One* connected to my eero mesh routers 3). How do I connect for vpn to start w/o going to each individual tv to activate. Where can I find the steps to setup?
P.S. I do have a Synology Nas system also.
Just saying VPN has a few connotations, that need clarification - are you looking to connect to your network or are you trying to provide VPN services to clients on your network?
If you’re looking to VPN into your network, then you can run something on your network like a synology or raspberry pi with the appropriate VPN software to allow you to connect while away. You’d need to forward the appropriate ports as below.
If you’re looking to run a VPN that clients on your network have access to, eero doesn’t really support this. I’ve taken to running my eeros in bridge mode and having a raspberry pi 4 running openwrt handle the wired routing. I’m able to run a VPN client with openwrt/wireguard with policy based routing to determine which clients on my network access the VPN.
Depends on what you’re trying to do. If you want your entire network VPN’d, grab an upstream device that can connect to a VPN. A raspberry Pi with OpenWRT is probably one of the simplest/cheapest options. The eero network behind that will operate just fine in double NAT (my current setup) or you can bridge it. Note: unlike other routers, eero is designed to work well in double NAT by default.
If you want a VPN server that other devices can connect to, to share local network resources outside of your network, you’ll want to setup a device on your network to run a VPN server like Wireguard and open the necessary ports in the eero port forward configuration.
Forget installing a VPN. Just look at Tailscale or Zerotier and never look back. 
Hi u/AfellowchuckerEhh
While the eero secure+ subscription does get your encrypt.me, that is a program that has to be installed on individual devices and enabled.
If you are wanting a VPN for the whole network the usual way is via a hardware solution. For those you would use the topology modem->VPN device->Gateway eero.
We do not have a recommendation on which one to use, I don’t personally use one, but I’m sure folks here will have plenty of good suggestions and experience for you.
I use a Linksys WRT3200ACM with ExpressVPN software flashed on it. My fiber optic connection goes into that router and an eero pro 6 is connected directly to the Linksys with another eero pro 6 backhauled to that. It works flawlessly (with slightly older software, the newer ExpressVPN router software are was giving me issues so I rolled back) and I can easily change servers or disconnect it from any device with a browser by going to expressvpnrouter.com.
I’m happy with this set up but there might be cheaper options; I just happened to be using the Linksys router before switching to eero.
They should network (on router) wide VPN for eero+
I’d buy it for that alone.
Does anyone know where I can sell two eero pro 6 ? Or what’s the best site to do so
Hey All, I have PIA as my VPN. I also use Eero 6 mesh system for wifi throughout my home. I use the wifi for all my TVs (4 in our home for streaming everything) I have ad blockers on my PC, which stops all the YouTube ads that pop up every couple minutes, but if I watch YouTube on the other TVs, the adds come every 5 min or less. I saw a VPN can block this everywhere. I use T-Mobile as my Gateway for internet. So can some one give me a brief explanation what I need to block internet ads throughout my home =) Hope that isn’t asking too much. Thanks all.
I have a synology and wondering if I can accomplish the below:
I have a device on the network that I can only access locally. My goal is to be able to access it when connected to vpn. Can you point me in the right direction as to how to set up the server on the synology?
Wouldn’t:
> modem->VPN device->Gateway eero
Just create a double-NAT situation, unless the gateway eero was bridged (something many of us have been actively avoiding).
Install OpenWRT on a Pi, there’s plenty of tutorials for that. Install a VPN client on OpenWRT, like wireguard, plenty of tutorials for that, too. Then plug your eero in to the Pi. You’ll need to get a USB Ethernet dongle for that, since Pi’s only have one NIC usually.
It depends on if the VPN device has its own router. if it does, and it is enabled and running, yes, that would make a doublenat. Other VPN devices just route all network traffic they get via the VPN server, no routing, so for those it isn’t doublenat.
That’s correct. Any tutorial that helps you setup OpenWRT on a Pi will do the trick. Then find a tutorial that sets up VPN on your OpenWRT install. Two tutorials most likely. Or ask ChatGPT.
