👨💻
This article is available in French, German and Chinese.
If you want a turnkey solution with more security and privacy, head over to our partners at FlashRouters. They offer pre-configured VPN routers that provide top-notch security and performance.
You can also buy a router and configure it yourself. These are the routers we recommend for home users without the high performance requirements (up to 10-40Mbps with OpenVPN encryption): RT-AC66U B1And RT-AC86UAsus RT-AX3000.
We highly recommend getting an Asus router. While there are many different routers available from other manufacturers, bone Asus routers have the OpenVPN client built in and require very little effort to set up. Most other routers require firmware flashing, which can be tricky and does not work on all platforms.
You can also buy any router that supports custom firmware:

If you want a router that offers the best possible performance (up to 60Mbps with OpenVPN encryption), here are some options to consider:
Asus: RT-AX86U, RT-AX88U (AX6000), RT-AC5300
D-Link (DD-WRT flashing required): DIR-885L, DIR-895L
