How to use PureVPN as Google WiFi VPN

1. Connect your primary router (the one connected to your modem) to your Google WiFi router using an Ethernet cable.

2. Make sure your primary router is configured correctly and connected to the internet. Set up your desired settings, such as network name (SSID), password, and DHCP settings. Ensure that your primary router’s IP address range does not conflict with the Google WiFi router’s IP address range.

3. Set up the VPN on the secondary router by connecting your computer to the secondary router (the one you want to use for the VPN).

4. Access the configuration page of your secondary router by entering its IP address in a web browser. The default IP address is often printed on the router or user manual.

5. Log in to the router’s administration panel using the username and password. If you haven’t changed them, you can find the default login details in the router’s documentation.

6. Look for the VPN settings or a section related to VPN configuration. The exact location may vary depending on the router’s firmware and manufacturer.

7. Set up the VPN connection by entering the necessary details your VPN service provides. This typically includes the VPN server address, username, password, and any additional settings your VPN provider requires.

8. Save the VPN settings and apply the changes. Your secondary router should now establish a VPN connection.

9. Connect the secondary router to the Google WiFi router

10. Disconnect your computer from the secondary router.

11. Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your secondary router to the WAN port on the Google WiFi router.

12. Make sure the Google WiFi router is connected to power and turned on.

13. Configure Google WiFi for VPN passthrough by opening the Google WiFi app on your mobile device.

14. Navigate to the settings for your Google WiFi network.

15. Look for an option called “Advanced Networking,” “WAN Settings,” or similar.

16. Enable VPN passthrough or VPN compatibility mode. This allows VPN traffic to pass through the Google WiFi router to your secondary router.

17. Save the changes and test your VPN connection.
