Do all/some/none of the VPN routers have a Fiber Optic input connection(like my home was does)?
Also, if the above question is no, can a VPN router be connected to an existing router?

Most likely no optical connection. Yes you can connect to existing router.
Thanks"p".
So If I get a VPN router. I should be able to connect it to my router?
Would it go “Lan” out of my existing router to “Ethernet” in my VPN router?
My “situation” is, I bought a new onn box. And yes, I live in Canada, and yes, the onn will not work in Canada.
Get this. I bought it on Amazion.ca. Imagine that. Amazon,ca will sell you a device that does not work in Canada,eh!
Back to my FO connection.
I can’t be the only person with a router that uses a FO input connection.
You would think there would a VPN router out there with a FO input connection.

Thanks for the schematic “Miki”.
Is the “TP” the source i.e fiber optic input.
If so , what is the “ONT”.
Is it sort of a FO to hard wire set up?
I see the “network” cable to the input of the router , I assume Ethernet input.
What is the other cable from the “ONT” and what is the device ?

ONT = Optical Network Terminal
TP= Terminal point, where the Fibre optic cable comes into your place
The ONT changes the incoming signal into one the router can use, so out of the ONT is a standard ethernet cable that goes to your modem which supplies ports for ethernet, and a WiFi signal. The other “cable” is the power. I have my Nividia Pro connected to the router via Ethernet.

Thanks “Miki”.
Where can a fellow get one of these ONT’s?
Or, which one do you use?

My ONT was supplied by my ISP. I haven’t looked to buy one. Amazon has a big selection of optical network terminals.
