VPN on your router: how it works

We know that VPN is a tunnel that creates an absolutely safe connection between your devices. While connecting it creates an Encrypted Channel that carefully encodes all data when you browse the Internet.

That’s pretty easy when you are using your desktop or mobile device with the user interface. You can see an established connection with your favorite websites and make sure that the VPN is running. But what if there is no such user interface with a device, like a router?

Since you have VeePN installed on your router, every single device which has access to the internet is secured and safe. Now your Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, Smart Coffee maker have maximum protection.

We support only OpenVPN files for a manual configuration.

Pros and cons of installing a VPN on your router

Pros

The protection covers every device: Now your network will become the safe bay for all your friends and family members. As long as they are connected to your Wi-Fi, they are browsing securely. But don’t let them take advantage of you, or at least establish a fee in cookies.

You need to set it up only once: To ensure that your private data will be secure every time you connect to the web, get the best VPN for your router, and don’t bother yourself with installing it separately on every gadget. Set up VeePN only once and enjoy endless protection.

Don’t limit yourself to the number of devices: No more need to install VeePN on every single device and worry about subscription coverage. But don’t abuse this feature as you may have an unstable and slow connection.

Cons

VPN installation on the router: Although you need to set it up only once, it may appear like a challenging task. You’ll need to access the router settings using your other device. You also won’t be able to change the country, turn a VPN on and off as easy as you do it on your phone or laptop. In times you may experience a speed loss when picking the country outside of your own.

Router tech specs: When it comes to the router performance, you’ll need to make sure that it has enough power to support the more secure protocols that you’ve chosen. Do a small investigation to find out your router capabilities.

Insecure traffic between the router and your devices: As VeePN gets installed on the router, the traffic between the router and your devices is not secure. But it should not be a problem unless your router is not protected with the password and the strangers cannot easily get access to the router.
