The article you refer to is how to use your own router INSTEAD of the Freebox which just becomes a broadband Modem. Following this procedure would disable the phone, TV and all the other Free added value services.

What you actually want to do is simply add a downstream router with its own SmartDNS settings or VPN, plugged into an Ethernet port on the Freebox or other ISPs router. You then connect any device that needs to use the SmartDNS or VPN capability into the network created by the new router.

Its actually pretty simple but if anyone needs to do it, send me a message and I'll talk you through it

OK, I think I get it. If I did that, am I right that anything on the new network, say my ipad, would not communicate with, say, the NAS and print server on my freebox, or with the freebox player for French TV?
