FlashRouters: the Best VPN Routers Pre-Configured with Le VPN

Le VPN has teamed up with FlashRouters to offer a selection of the best VPN routers pre-configured with Le VPN service — so you can protect every device in your home or office with a single connection.

FlashRouters specializes in popular routers that are “flashed” — upgraded with open-source DD-WRT or Tomato firmware — by the FlashRouters team. This replacement firmware unlocks capabilities that stock router software usually lacks, most importantly the ability to run a VPN connection directly on the router itself. FlashRouters devices also come with technical support plans to help you set up your internet, your wireless network, and your VPN.

The great news is that VPN routers offered by FlashRouters are compatible with Le VPN, and you can order them with Le VPN service already pre-configured. Plug the router in, and every device that joins its Wi-Fi is automatically protected — no per-device setup required.

Why use a VPN router for your home and office?

Normally, a VPN runs as an app on each device: your laptop, your phone, your tablet. That works well — but what about the devices that can’t run a VPN app at all? A VPN connection at the router level solves this by encrypting your internet traffic for the entire network, directly on your Wi-Fi router.

Whether you want to reach streaming video and music that isn’t available in your country, or simply add a permanent layer of security through an encrypted VPN tunnel, a VPN router covers every device in the household at once. Using a router configured with Le VPN lets you route your connection through servers in 100+ locations worldwide and go beyond geographical constraints: avoid censorship that prevails in some countries, unblock media content restricted in your region, and make sure you can access the websites, apps, and social media you want — whenever and wherever you want.

With a VPN router there is no in-between: you can be sure all your devices are secure and benefit from fast, unlimited internet traffic with Le VPN.

Key advantages of a built-in Le VPN connection on a router

A VPN router is a must-have in the era of the Internet of Things. The average home now contains far more connected gadgets than people: smart TVs, game consoles, voice assistants, security cameras, thermostats, smart locks, even connected fridges. Almost none of these devices can run a VPN app of their own, and many of them ship with weak security and rarely receive updates — which is exactly why IoT devices are a favorite target for attackers.

A pre-configured Le VPN connection on your router is the ideal security solution for a smart home or office:

• Everything is protected, automatically. Once Le VPN is enabled on your router, every device that connects to its Wi-Fi is behind the encrypted tunnel — including devices that are not compatible with a VPN setup, like your smart fridge, smart lock, or thermostat.
• One plan covers the whole family. The router counts as a single connection to Le VPN, no matter how many devices sit behind it. And since a Le VPN account allows up to 5 simultaneous connections, you can still run the app separately on the phones and laptops that leave the house.
• Whole-home unblocking. Devices like smart TVs and consoles gain the router's VPN location, making it easy to access streaming services from your home country on the big screen. (Le VPN subscriptions also include SmartDNS as a lightweight alternative for supported channels on such devices.)
• Set it and forget it. No apps to update on every gadget, no one in the family forgetting to switch the VPN on. Protection is simply always there.

Getting started

If you already own a DD-WRT-compatible router, you can configure Le VPN on it yourself using the OpenVPN configuration files available in your client area. If you’d rather skip the technical part entirely, a pre-configured device from FlashRouters arrives ready to go: enter your Le VPN credentials, pick a server location, and your whole network is protected.

Not a Le VPN subscriber yet? Every new subscription includes servers in 100+ locations, modern protocols like OpenVPN and WireGuard, and a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first purchase — so you can build your secure smart home risk-free.
