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

Hi
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.

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

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

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

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.

A VPN can only be activated by choice.
