Set up VPN connection
Activating routers for VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) protects your data and privacy. It encrypts your Internet traffic and hides your IP address. This allows you to use the Internet securely and anonymously, including on public WLAN networks.
You can use various VPN types with the Swisscom Internet-Box:
- WireGuard: fast and modern
- L2TP/IPsec: widely used
- IKEv2: stable when changing network
