Home Router Gateway Notes (Advanced)
This page is for users who want VPN on the whole home network (router-level setup).
Most users do not need this. App-based setup is easier and usually enough.
Before you start
- check that your router supports VPN client mode;
- confirm you can import custom profiles;
- keep a fallback internet path in case router config fails.
Typical setup path
- Export or copy your VPN profile from account.
- Import profile into router VPN client section.
- Enable DNS-through-VPN in router settings.
- Apply and reboot router if required.
- Verify that connected devices use VPN egress IP.
Quick validation
- phone and laptop can open websites normally;
- public IP is changed on all home devices;
- no DNS leaks after router connection is enabled.
If router setup is unstable
- return to app-based VPN client on each device;
- test another profile or protocol;
- contact support with router model and firmware version.
