The EE Router Hub with BT

[sea2dog]

Those that receive an EE router hub from BT and those that have a VPN, do THOSE EE routers devices support a VPN and do they use Ip4 instead of Ip6

Routers are totally agnostic to VPNs utilised on devices connected to them.

BT and EE implement both IPv4 and IPv6

I've read that there's a problem with VPN connection on a device that the router it connects to uses IPv6

Im not overly sure I understand what you are asking....connecting to remote VPN's or connecting back to your own LAN to a VPN from a remote location?..

I can confirm one thing for you, when at my mother in laws house...she has EE and their new Router, it is possible to connect back to my VPN server which is at my home without issue. I am not using IPV6.

@sea2dog A VPN is simply a tunnel from your VPN client on your machine to a remote VPN server via your ISP connection.

As BT and EE both use IPv4 and IPv6, the VPN will select whichever it is capable of utilising to create the tunnel.

The issue with VPNs and IPv6 is one of not understanding the mechanics!  When you have a directly addressable device it's not going to tunnel through a router based VPN without some additional configuration.  *effectively the role of the IPv4 NAT gateway which many router VPNs rely on, is greatly depleted!

BT and EE hubs don't have router based VPNs.
