Mullvad router setup in 2026
Build the page around WireGuard — not old OpenVPN advice
Mullvad fully retired OpenVPN on January 15, 2026. New router setup,
product recommendations, and support copy should therefore lead with
WireGuard.
2026
OpenVPN is gone from Mullvad.
Any older FlashRouters or third-party Mullvad content that still recommends
OpenVPN should be treated as historical. Current router configurations
need a WireGuard client path.

Privacy Hero 2 for simplicity. ASUS for hardware choice.
Both paths use Mullvad WireGuard. The difference is how you want to
manage the router and how much Wi-Fi, mesh, and hardware flexibility you need.

importing a provider configuration through its browser-based management
interface.

Already own a compatible ASUS router?
Flash My Router
If your ASUS model is eligible for FlashRouters' remote service,
Flash My Router may be an alternative to buying new hardware. Confirm
model and WireGuard compatibility before ordering.
No. Mullvad fully retired OpenVPN on January 15, 2026. Current third-party router setups need WireGuard.
Can a router help with Mullvad's five-device limit?
Yes. Mullvad states that if five device slots are not enough, a WireGuard router can be used with devices on the local network.
Can Privacy Hero 2 use Mullvad?
Yes. Privacy Hero supports generic WireGuard configurations, and FlashRouters specifically lists Mullvad among providers that can be used by uploading a WireGuard configuration.
Can ASUS route only certain devices through Mullvad?
On ASUS models that support VPN Fusion and WireGuard client profiles, devices can be assigned to a VPN tunnel or left on the normal connection.
Can FlashRouters configure Mullvad?
Mullvad is a supported FlashRouters VPN provider. Exact setup options depend on the router and firmware selected.
Is a Mullvad subscription included?
No. Unless a specific product offer says otherwise, the router and configuration service do not replace your Mullvad VPN account.

the local network.
