How to remove a vpn
Teenage son has managed to get around the Broadshield that I switched on in an effort to curb his game playing whilst studying for A levels. He has uploaded a VPN to give him access to all games. This has slowed down our service. How do I get rid of it?

VPNs can be accessed via a router configuration, a browser extension or via an app, each one has a different removal method
Why can you not ask your son to remove it?

Re: How to remove a vpn
Without knowing what method of VPN then it makes it very difficult to advise
Check your routers settings to see if a VPN is set there, as this is the only way I can think that it would slow everything down, a VPN app will usually only affect the device it is installed on

Note that there isn't any model of Sky Hub which can itself host a VPN endpoint.
