    My router (more accurately its software) has VPN support, using it for the whole network. You might be able to find one

      Sure… but now you’re supporting their whole network because you need the vpn in place. It quickly becomes a whole thing of support just to let your cousin’s kid watch some old shows you have in your library.

          Well I was taking it gracefully as a split-vpn. But yeah it’s a fair question to have if it’s misconfigured, or relying on something in your network (Eg, maybe you also setup a pihole and they lost DNS resolution due to vpn going down.) God knows with these random half-features that many consumer “routers” that are out there.
