ROOT VPN on router

Putting ROOT on your router protects your whole network from a single point. Every device that connects through it, phones, laptops, TVs, consoles and smart-home gadgets, rides the VPN tunnel without any app of its own.

This is the way to cover devices that have no VPN app at all, like a smart TV or games console, and it counts as one connection on your account no matter how many devices sit behind it. ROOT works with routers that support WireGuard or OpenVPN.

How to set up on router

A few steps and you are connected. No technical know-how needed.

  1. Create a free ROOT account and open its settings to find your router configuration details.
