Are VPNs compatible with verizon fios home internet? If so, which do you recommend? Thanks. are they hard to setup?
Not difficult to setup depending on how you want to use it. Do you want to put it on your router or use an app on devices?
Any, and not a Verizon issue. Many have you download a piece of software that you will run. I’m using Private Internet Access. VyperVPN was also good. Read Wirecutter’s reviews and you can find one that meets your needs.
I find plex with a TV tuner works the best. No need for a VPN. You will need to find a tuner that has a cable card and is compatible with Plex. I have a HD Home run Prime which are no longer sold but supported. You can find them on ebay. Only caution is the pay channels can’t be scrambled. The only ones I could not use were HBO and Cinemax. Showtime and others worked. You have to be careful since the FIOS app is VPN aware. National channels work, local channels won’t. That’s without the need for a VPN.
Remember most subscription channels have an app that you can use if you are a cable subscriber to that channel. No need for a VPN unless you are outside of the country. Even if you are you have a VPN you need to be careful since the providers know the vPNs ips and block those. I use Wireguard back to my house in those cases. Good luck
I use Express VPN. Probably one of the more expensive VPNs but I find it connects quickly with hardly an issues. Speeds are good too. I had Nord and Proton VPNs but they were giving me issues blocking some Microsoft Store apps I use plus a few other things. I pay by the month rather than longer terms also which costs more, but I find sometimes it’s better should I want to change to a different service after short time. Also Paying by the month lets you test it out for a longer period to see which one you like the most.
Is there an advantage either way? I would say which ever is easier. for me the point is to access in market sports (MLB TV etc.) that are limited to out of market subscribers. Thanks.
I use the NordVPN product, installed clients for each tv,iPad,iPhone and can pick the country they need. I use it for watching sports from other countries… good luck 
Thanks. I ask partly because I vaguely remember some issue about verizon disclaiming responsibility for router repairs/support if you installed a vpn on the router.
