What is a VPN router?
A VPN router is a Wi-Fi router that has been configured to automatically connect to a VPN server. Most routers can be manually set up with NordVPN, but you can also buy routers with pre-installed VPN software — they’ll encrypt your connection right out of the box.
What does a VPN router do?
A VPN router makes it easier for large households and small businesses to be safer online. All devices connected to it get the benefits of a VPN — increased privacy, a changed IP address, and bulletproof encryption. The best part? Once it’s up and running, the VPN router works 24/7, and you never risk accidentally connecting to the internet without the protection NordVPN offers.

How to choose a VPN router
01
Check VPN compatibility
Before getting a router, make sure it supports VPN protocols. If it supports OpenVPN or WireGuard, it’s likely to work with NordVPN. Don’t want the hassle? Get a ready-to-go VPN router that works right out of the box.
02
Consider a pre-configured router
Buy a router with a VPN already set up, and you won’t have to worry about getting the right device. NordVPN’s partner Flashrouters offers a wide variety of routers that support our services right out of the gate.
03
Compare VPN service speeds
Before purchasing a router, make sure you’re getting the best VPN speeds possible. Flashrouters’ Privacy Hero II is one of the few routers that come pre-configured with NordLynx protocol.

Types of VPN routers
These are standard routers that support VPN clients. They don't come with a VPN service built-in, but they allow you to install and configure the VPN software yourself.
Flexibility
You can choose any VPN provider that supports the router's compatible protocols.
Advanced settings
VPN-compatible routers often offer higher control over VPN settings, like choosing a VPN server, enabling a kill switch, and setting your own DNS.
Manual configuration
A DIY solution requires more time, effort, and knowledge. You'll need to get your VPN provider's configuration files and add them to the router's interface.
Cost
Generally less expensive upfront than pre-configured routers, but you will have to cover the added cost of a VPN subscription.
How to set up a VPN on your router
Setting up a VPN on your router is not as complicated as it sounds!
01
Log in to your router
Type your router's IP address into a browser’s address bar and log in with your router's username and password.
02
Configure the router
Download your VPN provider's configuration files, import them onto the router, and enter your credentials.
03
Test it out
Check what your IP address is before and after connecting to a VPN. Your IP should change to the VPN server's IP.
