Many people prefer to set up a VPN on the router to secure and protect any connected device. This can provide great convenience as you don’t have to launch the VPN app every time you want to secure yourself online. Moreover, dedicated/static IP works the best when configured on a router.
(Since only a single user can use a dedicated IP at a time, configuring the VPN on your router enables all the connected devices to be under the same dedicated IP.)
We realize that finding a router that can be configured with your VPN can be a challenge. So we’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of routers that are compatible with PureVPN.
Note: Before configuring PureVPN on your router, do ensure that your router:
Is not working as a modem
Has PPTP and OpenVPN Client
Although we have discontinued the support for PPTP, L2TP, and SSTP protocols, we still offer some PPTP servers after multiple requests from our users. You can reach out to our 24/7 LiveChat support gurus, and they will share the server addresses with you.
We understand how complicated and hectic it can get for non-tech-savvy users to set up VPN on routers. This is precisely why we have curated step-by-step guides for each router. Just follow the guides and save your time.
If you cannot find your router in the table above, we’d advise you to contact our support team first so they can verify. If your router is still not supported, it doesn’t have to end here. We are constantly improving our service so that you can get a seamless experience. You can submit your router details here, and we will try our best to make it happen for you!
Taking a quick look as some of these links, your OpenWRT instructions heading is:
How to Setup OpenVPN on OpenWRT 18.06
OpenWRT 18.06 is two major versions back and version 18.06 is no longer supported by OpenWrt. How about an update for OpenWRT 21.02
Your GL iNet instructions are even more out of date with the screen shots showing 2016 on the GL iNet GUI. The current GL iNet router GUI looks nothing like what your instructions are showing.
Creating a new post to give us out of date information is not very helpful. You can do better.
Now if you want to really be helpful, tell me how to use Wireguard on my routers!
do you support NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6 Router (RAX30)? also is it just the matter of popping uid/pwd in the router console and off you go or do I’ve to flash the firmware? Thanks
I need some help, please. I configured VPN on my router and it works well, however, all adds on youtube are in the Romanian language, which is weird. It should be in English (better not to have it at all)
Hey u/eric0e, thanks for highlighting the improvements. We have raised this with our team and they have already started working on it.
As for Wireguard, we don’t have the option for manual or router configuration as of it, but this is something that we are working on and it is already in our roadmap.
Can I just say “ME too” on this OpenWRT subject. PureVPN works great when using Windows VPN setup but to configure it on a OpenWRT router everything has to be just right. One incorrect or missing setting can spell failure. I feel my server selection is correct because I can ping it and I can connect to it thru Windows 10 VPN setup but I can’t get my OpenWRT router to connect probably because of configure error. Just list the proper settings and file requirements and alot of us can take it from there. I am also using OpenWRT 21.02 which is using DSA network standards. Not true for all installations so there should be two different setup instructions. A DSA setup and a nonDSA setup.
We haven’t tested pcWRT routers before, but we have raised this at our R&D team’s end. Once they have tested it and given us the green signal, we will update it in the list and website!
Hey, thank you for contacting us. We haven’t tested Eero routers yet. Could you please confirm if the router includes a VPN client? If it does, kindly provide your registered email address via direct message.
Thank you for reaching out. To provide you with the appropriate guidance, please share your email address with us through direct message (DM). We will use that information to assist you effectively.
Hey u/Jedicoach, our configuration article seems to be updated. But can you please send the screenshots of the error you’re getting at [email protected]? We’ll take a closer look at it and update you.
Thanks for sharing that. We are currently testing version 21.02. Once the testing phase is complete, we will take the updated article live.
Meanwhile, I’d request you to install version 18.06 or you can configure the VPN by install dd-wrt or fresh tomato.
