   Geez. This is such a vague question. Let me give it a try.   
      
   Routers dont play VPN role gererally. The reason why you have such mixed   
   thinking is because you see lots of consumer grade boxes boasting   
   routing and vpn roles for marketing purpose. Most consumer grade routers   
   only support IPsec pass-through (udp 500 and protocol 50) and extremely   
   limited sessions (less than 5~10 concurrent) and limited throughput.   
      
   To make a VPN connection, you only need two or more nodes running the   
   same VPN, e.g., IPsec, protocols.
