Router
VPN on a router
One tunnel for the whole home. TV, consoles, smart bulbs — everything goes through the VPN, with nothing to install per device.
Who gets it
The router is included in the Premium plan at no extra cost. On other plans it's an add-on: the price is prorated for the remainder of the paid period, then renews together with the plan; the dashboard shows the amount right on the button.
Exception — the weekly period: the router isn't sold on it, you need a monthly plan or longer.
If you cancel the router early, the remaining paid days burn and money isn't returned — the dashboard warns with the exact number. When the subscription itself ends, router access ends with it.
It's a separate access with its own key and doesn't take slots from your plan — no matter how much hardware sits behind it.
Important: that's true of the dedicated router access from the Router block. If you paste your regular subscription link into a router instead, it will consume a slot like an ordinary device.
Two methods — pick by firmware
The Router block in the dashboard has a switch. The method depends on what your router supports, not on taste.
| Method | What you get | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| AmneziaWG 2.0 | a ready config file | Keenetic and Netcraze with firmware 5.1+ |
| VLESS Reality | a vless:// key link |
Reality-capable firmware — e.g. OpenWrt with Podkop |
A router isn't “press one button”: you'll open its admin panel, and the second method also needs a package installed. With two or three devices at home, per-device apps are simpler.
How to connect
Nothing extra to install here: WireGuard is built into the firmware.
-
In the dashboard press «Подключить VPN» (Connect VPN) → «Ссылки и QR для ручной настройки» (Links & QR for manual setup) and find the Router block. Set the switch to AmneziaWG 2.0.
The Router block with the method switch. Press «Скачать конфиг» (Download config). Right after purchase the file takes about a minute to prepare — if the button isn't active yet, wait and refresh.
Open the router's admin panel, go to the WireGuard section and upload the file. No parameters to type — they're all inside.
Enable the new connection and check it comes up.
Router requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Model | Keenetic or Netcraze |
| Firmware | KeeneticOS 5.1 or newer — older versions won't load our config |
| Where to check | Router admin panel, the About page |
The admin panel usually opens at my.keenetic.net or 192.168.1.1. Some models differ — e.g. 192.168.0.1; the right address is printed on the sticker underneath the router.
Almost always the firmware: versions older than 5.1 simply don't load this config. Update KeeneticOS and try again.
This path is for Reality-capable firmware — first of all OpenWrt with the Podkop package. There's no file here: the dashboard gives a key link you paste into the package settings.
Install Podkop on the router following the package's own docs. Nothing is needed on the VPN side — we only issue the key.
In the dashboard open the same Router block and flip the switch to VLESS Reality.
Press «Копировать» (Copy) — a
vless://…key goes to the clipboard. After purchase the key appears within a minute.Add the key to Podkop as an outbound connection and apply the config.
Router access is limited to a single device. If you also paste this key into a phone, the second connection simply won't come up. Use the regular subscription for phones.
Podkop keeps its own list of what goes into the tunnel. Our route builder is made for Keenetic's Routing section and doesn't apply here.
Next — routes
With AmneziaWG, all home traffic goes through the tunnel by default. To send only selected services through the VPN and keep the rest on the regular channel, move on to routes.
