You'd need to have some kind of policy routing for the V6 and use your own supplied router for this as the Virgin one won't. Alternatively, just use VPN apps on those devices you want it on a instead. Phones, tablets, PCs etc. If those devices don't support a VPN then it leaves you down the router road which is why Paul asked your use case.

I don't know why a bank login would be any safer with a VPN than your home internet connection.
Again the package includes safe banking app , vpn . Ad blocker torrent, thingy, virus checker, block sites, child protection etc. As the package asked if I wanted to put it on the router I asked what effect that would have. Why do certain persons make it such hard work to ask a simple question.

You obviously dont know what VPNs actually are, or how they work, so ... good luck with that.
I know how it works , as I stated it comes as a part of the package.
