I’m looking at getting Nord VPN but I’m wanting to use it for my whole network. Has anyone successfully made this work with an Eero network? If so, what do you have to do to get it up and working? Thanks!
I don’t think eero supports that via the router. Essentially, you’d have to put your eero in bridge mode and set up the vpn on another non eero router.
So the easiest way to use nordvpn in your case is per device.
You cannot set vpns on eero.
Not on eero-only networks but if you have an eero network in bridge mode with a “real” router in front most routers will let you do this. For sure Firewalla, Synology, OpenSense and pfSense will do it.
As others have said, can’t do it network-wide on an Eero. But I whole heartedly recommend Nord. You can put Nord on as many devices as you want, but can only use 6 simultaneously. It’s a good VPN and very cost effective.
No, eero is owned by Amazon. They need to be able to see your network traffic to use it.
Just to follow up on that, I’m using my Eeros as access points with a Firewalla in front of it and I can confirm that Nord works pretty flawlessly with that setup.
You’re using Nord with the Firewalla’s built in VPN client, right? So the eeros really have no clue/input into the situation, they just get internet from the Firewalla, Nord or not.
(Pretty sure that is how it works. I am clarifying for OP.)
Correct! I am routing traffic based on which device it is through the VPN settings on the Firewalla, personally. You can also choose all devices, if that’s what you wanted. I have some devices using VPN and some using DoH, etc. based on what I want from each device and who in the house uses it.
Does the VPN kill switch work flawlessly on the Firewalla?
Can’t really say as I’ve never used it in this use case.
