Gateway-Level Protection
When a tunnel client is built into the router's firmware, the router itself encrypts all outbound traffic before sending it to your ISP. Devices in your apartment interact with the internet normally, without draining battery or CPU resources on background data encryption.
How to Configure a Tunnel on a Router
- Ensure your router supports installing WireGuard, OpenVPN clients, or custom configs
- Upload the configuration file into the router's management panel via the web interface
- Configure routing lists so local resources and banks bypass the tunnel
- Assign static local IPs to your TV and media streamer for uninterrupted routing
