Hello, Mark your probably right, since all this is very confusing to me. The only reason I am trying to run a VPN is because on weekends there is always family using my wifi and I will feel better if I am secured. I do not know anyone that can help me with this so will probably have to pay someone. Although, I am more inclined into buying a Mesh router and like you said have guess account and have more control over it. Thanks everyone for their suggestions.
