Hi guys!!

I'm interested in setting up the router in my parents' second home to direct all traffic through a VPN located in the UK (probably via the internet in my parents' first home - they have good upload speed).

From what I understand doing this on my parents' extant second home router is quite tricky & probably beyond what my parents are willing/capable of doing. (I do not know the model of their current second home router but could likely find out if absolutely necessary).

So ... what I'd like to do is buy a router, get it set up to route all traffic through a UK based VPN, give the router to my parents and have them swap that router with the one they currently have in their second home. My hope is that once it is plugged in they'll be set - they won't need to do much more than change the Wi-Fi password on their second home computer to match the new router & it will route through the UK.

Would it be this simple? Would you recommend links for i) setting up a VPN on their current home router, ii) Buying an appropriate new router and setting it to automatically route through the newly created VPN?

Thanks!!

I'll need to take a look into the site to site VPN capabilities, but I'm a pretty big fan of Ubiquiti's Unifi line in the advanced home networking/small business space.

I'd suggest looking at a Unifi USG as router at each house ($100-120 ea), then run the controller software in AWS, Azure, or other cloud service to let you remote admin both installs. To be clear, this is a Router only and does not have a wireless access point integrated. I've seen much better stability since switching to a separate router and WAPs on my home network.https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-routing/usg/

If you're going down this road, I'd also take a look at deploying Unifi APs. You would be able to manage those through the same controller software. If you're looking to pinch pennies, you can likely reconfigure their current router/wap combo to act as a WAP only.
