    How to Install a VPN on a Router (Step-by-Step Guide)

    Once you get a quality VPN service, you want to use it everywhere - on your smartphone, laptop, TV, console, and all other devices. In such cases, it might be easier to install a VPN on your router than on each device separately.

    The configuration varies by router model, but all newer ones support VPN clients. Once you set up a VPN on your router, all devices (even those that might not support it natively) are protected. If you're at least a bit tech-savvy, the instructions below shouldn't be too hard to follow.

    Key takeaways:

  • Routers that can run VPNs ensure ease of use, compatibility, and comprehensive VPN features for your network.
  • Pre-configured, VPN-ready, and flashable routers are the main types that support VPNs.
  • Be sure to check your router's compatibility before purchasing a VPN and setting it up.
  • VPN-ready routers require entering VPN credentials in the router's admin panel. Flashing a router involves installing third-party software, which is significantly more complicated.
