But does that mean you cannot use it on Windows 11 PCs, for example? Of course not. In fact, there are 3 methods available:
Set a VPN software on individual devices Use a second VPN-compatible router behind your FritzBox (dual-router configuration) Turn your FritzBox router into a VPN server
Whether you choose to install a VPN on individual devices or use a VPN-compatible router, you will need a versatile and capable VPN client that can handle both tasks graciously. ➡ If you’re going for the third option, note that you need a VPN that supports specific protocols such as L2TP/IPSec or PPTP. Also, you will not enjoy the same privacy as this method does not protect you against ISP tracking, for instance. Our recommendation is Private Internet Access simply because it checks all the boxes and more:
Fully compatible with Tomato, DD-WRT, and pFsense firmware (It also has its own routers with pre-installed VPN) Supports OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols Cross-platform compatibility (with dedicated versions for Windows, including the latest Windows 11, macOS, iOS, Android, browsers, or gaming consoles) Advanced features (split tunneling, obfuscation, multi-hop, and more) Extensive server network (optimized for high-speed and boasting global coverage) Highly focused on privacy (strict no-logs policy, strong encryption for your data, built-in adblocker) 1 license covers up to 10 simultaneous connections
And since the first option is pretty much self-explanatory – you just need to subscribe to a PIA VPN plan and download the software on your Windows 11 device – we will focus on the second one.
How do I add a VPN to my FritzBox?
The traffic from your Windows 11 PC is now routed through your FritzBox and through the VPN set at the router level so you can enjoy full Internet speed as well as iron-cast privacy!
