18 routers

A VPN for every device you travel with

Every router here runs a WireGuard VPN, so all traffic leaves through an encrypted tunnel, whether to a VPN provider or back to your own home router.

VPN speed depends on the router’s processor. Smaller models handle a few hundred megabits; newer ones go further. Check the power input as well: USB-C lets you run the router from a laptop or power bank.

All pocket routers are in travel routers.

Frequently asked questions

Why run the VPN on a travel router?

Every device behind it is protected, including streaming sticks and consoles that can't run a VPN app, and you only set it up once.

WireGuard or OpenVPN?

WireGuard is faster on small routers and reconnects quickly. OpenVPN is older and more widely supported. Most routers here support both.

Can I connect back to my home network?

Yes, if your home router runs a VPN server. Your travel router connects to it, so you browse as if at home.
