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.

    Decentralized VPN: Explained and Compared

    The internet is at risk of being merged into small clusters owned by a few individuals. So, many turn to decentralization as a remedy.

    You get more privacy when one provider can't control the means of your communication, web hosting, social media access, or other services. A decentralized VPN tests this idea for a secure internet connection.

    Unlike traditional centralized VPNs, there is no single entity controlling the servers. Instead, requests are routed through multiple devices. Does this approach work with VPNs, or do you risk exposing your data even more?
