Does my router have a VPN mode feature?

I have a Alcatel LTE 4G Wireless Mobile Router and was wondering if it is a VPN router.  I have added a Zenmate VPN router but I am not sure all the traffic is going through the VPN. In other words, is it  possible some traffic may be going through the ISP?

I went into the settings and was not able to find it. I understand ASUS routers may have this option.

Wireless Mobile Routers usually don't offer VPN features. I've taken a look at one of Alcatel's models and there's no mention about VPN. In order to give you more precise infos, please post exact Alcatel's Model.

So are you saving that the VPN (Zenmate) that I downloaded and paid for is useless if the router does not have a VPN mode?
It is a Alcatel Linkzone MW40V Mobile Wireless Router.

You can create a VPN using a device (such as a PC) that stays behind the Router. You cannot create a VPN using the Router itself.
But there are some routers like Asus routers which ensures that all traffic pass through a VPN.
