Adding a router for a vpn
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 ?

I talked to a help desk and they said it would not work for me using Telus.I personally have been using Nord with my TELUS fibre connection for over 4 1/2 years without one hiccup. So I'm not sure who has been telling you what, I can tell you it does work..If you find this post useful, please give the author a "Solution", or mark as "Kudo", if it solves your problem, thank you very much.

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...

I would look for a commercial VPN provider, for example. NordVPN, Surfshark, or even something along the line of ExpressVPN.
All of them have the ability to support multiple device types such as an iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac. Just a matter of creating an account, installing the appropriate App or software, and off you go. Very little complexity and no long-term commitment. On top of that the overall cost is minimal....
