Adding a router for a vpn

Question

I recently received the new wifi 6 router modem and I want to use a vpn which I understand the Telus router do not support. Can I purchase an aftermarket router that does support a vpn and connect it to the back of the modem and use a vpn that way? If so how do I do it? Also a dumb question but the new wifi 6 router that Telus sends out now is that a modem router combo or do I completely not understand what I want to do ?

So I'm not sure who has been telling you what, I can tell you it does work..

When you say you want to use a VPN, do you want to securely connect to your home system from the outside? or is this so you are able to anonymously connect/surf to sites from your home network?

The 2 will require different solutions to accomplish. Cheers...
