Here is some interesting data on your router for VPNs but not completely relevant except for the IP changing. Sounds like a powerful router.

Yes the IP surely changes from the dynamic one from the phone company to the VPNs IP address in whatever country or server I pick to connect to. You can't connect to the VPN IP cause I believe most VPNs use shared IPs and it doesn't know where to direct the traffic to when I try to connect using it. I tried it just for fun and it didn't work. I saw some info that PureVPN gives a static IP, but I am not sure that it would even work with that, but that's a question for someone with more knowledge than I have.
The IP the router shows is the phone companies dynamic IP in the WAN. But all devices that connect to the router shows the VPNs IP, which I currently use the nearest one to me and it's in Atlanta, GA.
