FAQ
Before you buy
The questions that come up most.
Do I need a separate router, or can I just use an app?
An app protects one device at a time. A configured router protects everything on your network at once — including TVs, consoles, and smart-home gear that can't run an app. More on how it works.
Is it hard to set up?
Not if you choose the setup service. We can configure your provider before shipping, so you connect it behind your existing router, join its network, and get started. US-based support is there if you need a hand.
Which VPN does it work with?
Most major providers — NordVPN, ProtonVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, Mullvad, and others. Optional setup is available for supported providers before shipping. See the full list.
Can I use a router I already own?
Often, yes. Our Flash My Router service updates supported firmware and configures your VPN on a compatible router you already have.
Will it slow down my connection?
A capable router keeps the overhead small, and the faster WireGuard protocol helps preserve speed. Devices you leave off the VPN keep full speed.
