Techopedia Explains VPN Router

As with a standard router, a VPN router enables the core packet routing and network communication services within VPN. It provides the ability to share and provide connectivity of the VPN service to different end devices.

Some of these devices are portable and can be installed and configured anywhere that has an Internet connection. Users can connect to it using a wireless network or through wired LAN or serial interfaces. This hardware utilizes one or more networking/tunneling protocols to create and manage communications within VPN tunnels.
