Can I block VPN's?

Notts1 — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 17:39:20 GMT

Hi there

Is it possible to block VPN's?

I have uninstalled all VPN's.

But would like to prevent any further any to them.

There isn't any setting to do so on Homesafe.

Is there anything I could do?

Kind regards

A VPN can only be activated by choice.

Hey Ferguson,

Thanks for replying,

The thing is that I would like to remove the choice to reinstall/ use any VPN's in the future.

Hi Notts1

Just to confirm, has a VPN client been installed on one of your devices?

Hey Debbie

Thanks for replying,

No, there are no VPN's installed at the moment.

@Notts1, the only way a VPN can be installed is if you set this up yourself.

So if you don't want it, don't do it.

This is not Talktalk's responsibility.

Hi Notts1

As long as no devices have a VPN client installed and you don't provide the wireless details to any other users then they wont be able to access a VPN connection (whilst using your connection)

Thanks

Hey Debbie

The goal is to try and prevent users already using my connection from installing and using VPN's

Is this possible?

Kind regards

It is not possible with the current router. You would also need to know the IP address of the VPN server and add this to a block list within a router firewall config etc.

Thanks

Karl.
