Well. As soon as you put Roger's "modem" to bridge mode, you lose support. My internet kept dropping every night. I called support they sent me to no where - "Roger's does not support bridge mode".
Bridge mode does complicate support. I use it. However, I will never be calling Rogers for help with WiFi problems. When I do need their help to resolve a technical problem, I can quickly revert back to a configuration that they can support and where they can run their tests to troubleshoot problems.

Thank you for that, now I know there's nothing it can be done.
The Ignite XB6 gateway may not have explicit settings for VPN pass-through but VPN clients should work, and you also should be able to get at least some assistance from Tech Support.
If a tech support agent says that VPN clients will not work, that's a bit disturbing. Furthermore, if you log into the XB6 gateway and go to "Gateway > Firewall > IPv4", even the "Maximum Security" setting has rules in place that should pass many types of VPN traffic.
Awesome!
I'm glad to hear it @Magssss.
Security and encryption are key! Thank you for letting us know your issue was resolved.

VPN browsing back off again today. Don't know what is happening
Which VPN service(s) are you using and what VPN protocol(s) are you using? Did the session drop after a certain period of time or did things break if/when you have multiple VPN sessions active?
Comcast says that VPNs are supported on their gateways but there is no information on how VPN support is enabled in the XB6 or how they handle VPN Passthough / VPN NAT traversal, which requires special support in the firewall software in order to run multiple concurrent VPN sessions when using some VPN protocols.
