VPN on a router: protect every device at once

A step-by-step look at why you'd set up a VPN on a router, which devices it suits, and what to check before you start.

1 min read

Setting up a VPN on a router is handy when you have many devices and don't want to install an app on each one. Once configured, all home-network traffic goes through the protected connection automatically.

Who it's for

  • Smart TVs and set-top boxes without a full VPN app.
  • Game consoles and smart-home devices.
  • Families who prefer to configure once instead of per device.

What you'll need

  1. A router that supports VPN connections.
  2. An active VolonX subscription.
  3. A few minutes to follow the guide for your model.

Pros and cons

Pros: set it up once and every device is protected, including those without an app.

Cons: switching locations happens in the router settings rather than with a single tap, like in a phone app.

If you need flexibility, use the app on your main devices and configure the router for gadgets without apps. You can choose a plan in a couple of minutes.
