First, thank you Nayr from your VPN Primer.
I have a Netgear Nighthawk router and wanted to take advantage of the VPN service for security and ability to view remotely while on my workplace network. I currently have opened ports for remote viewing. I'm still not totally sure how to set this up or what to expect.
Here are my questions:
Thank you.

Here are my questions:
- Will turning on the VPN prevent devices and services such as Sonos, Wireless Printer, Phillips Hue, etc. from working?
- Is there a cost to using Open VPN on my Nighthawk? It seems like there is a free trial up to a certain amount of MB after which point I need to pay for a plan. Is that accurate?
- How do I configure OpenVPN on Nighthawk and remote viewing devices so I can turn off port forwarding...while still not having issues connecting to the internet at home or on guest network.
Thank you.
