Virgin media & vpn

Virgin has just gone live here & will be at least 5x faster than our current max 35mb connection so thought of it as a no brainer & signed up with the doorstep canvassers which normally follow the pole climbers, the deal is M250 + weekend chatter + 10gb O2 sim for £29.99 which is a fair price i thought & much cheaper than my out of contract BT + sim
Anyhow i failed to realise that VM don't have a good reputation for VPN users, there seems to be workarounds with router settings or run the supplied router in modem mode with separate router , am i being overly concerned ?
Only signed up 2 days ago so well within the 14 days to cancel , just need to do a little more investigating to make sure it's going to work for me with my Nord VPN.
Just to add , i only use the VPN on one laptop & not installed on router for all connected devices.

I use VPN Unlimited with Virgin on the Virgin router and it seems to work fine.

I've used Nord VPN in the past with Vrigin ok so assume it would still be the same now.
I use other VPN's now and never had an issue but I use the Hub 3 in modem mode so totally bypass anything in their router than might affect a VPN.

Thanks @[Deleted User] good to here, been with BT for ages so a bit of nerves moving but feeling a bit more comfortable with the move to VM so will go ahead. Like you i'm thinking modem mode will make for a more stable platform.
