VPN Unlimited publishes router configuration guides for WireGuard and OpenVPN across OpenWrt, DD-WRT, GL.iNet and AsusWRT-Merlin. The right router depends on which manual configuration you want to use.
The important part is not just whether a VPN service supports a protocol. The router firmware has to support the same setup method.
VPN Unlimited offers both WireGuard and OpenVPN manual router configurations, but supported methods differ by firmware. Its current documentation includes OpenWrt, DD-WRT, GL.iNet and Merlin paths.
Start with the Wi-Fi coverage and control you need, then use the provider-supported router configuration that fits that firmware.
VPN Unlimited publishes an AsusWRT-Merlin OpenVPN setup, making the Merlin collection the cleanest ASUS match.
