ExpressVPN Custom Router App

This has to be one of the best additions we’ve seen in a long time.  ExpressVPN recently rolled out a new router app.  Customers can use firmware files provided by ExpressVPN to configure three popular Linksys router models with DD-WRT to protect your entire network with their VPN.  In the past members had to rely on a third party supplier like FlashRouters (still a great source) or attempt to flash their own router.  While you still need to flash the router, ExpressVPN is providing the firmware file along with instructions.  All you need to get started is an ExpressVPN account.  Once signed up you can configure your Linksys router to connect to the service.

ExpressVPN router

Running DD-WRT gives you more features and better performance.  While encryption adds overhead, you can expect faster VPN across all the devices on your network when using DD-WRT versus the factory Linksys firmware.  ExpressVPN gives you three options to get started.  The easiest method is to order a pre-configured device from FlashRouters.  This is a hands off approach.  You order the device and it comes ready for action.  We’ve had the opportunity to test devices from FlashRouters over the years and stay in touch with their team.  If you don’t mind spending more to have the router configured for you, then this is the way to go.

The second option is to purchase a router and flash it with a DD-WRT firmware file provided by ExpressVPN.  You can visit their router page for a list of supported models.  At the time of this post, they are supporting the following routers:

  • Linksys WRT1200AC
  • Linksys WRT1900AC
  • Linksys WRT1900ACS

The routers range from $149 to $199 on Amazon.  I would recommend spending the extra $50 and going with the Linksys WRT1900ACS model for the best range and performance.  If you plan to connect to ExpressVPN (and that’s the point right) then you want the most powerful router.

ExpressVPN lists a final option for tech savvy users.  You can configure your Asus, D-Link, Netduma, Sabai, or TP-Link router to connect to their network.  This is for those users who have a technical background.  Even ExpressVPN shows this as being difficult.  If you are thinking about configuring your own device then I suggest you visit ExpressVPN and follow up with any questions.  It’s too easy to brick a router so I suggest buying a router through FlashRouters or getting one of the supported routers from Amazon.

Regardless of whether you purchase a pre-configured router or flash your own with ExpressVPN firmware, the result is the same.  You can encrypt the traffic for every device that runs through the router.  Even if it doesn’t natively support VPN.  This is a great solution.  Visit ExpressVPN for more details and to get started.

Anonabox Partners with VyprVPN

The team at Anonabox has been quite busy this year.  They started by introducing their new Pro, Tunneler, and Fawkes routers at CES in Las Vegas.  There is no larger stage for consumer electronics and Anonabox took the opportunity to promote the latest additions to their lineup of devices.  The new devices included support for HMA out of the gate and the Anonabox team continues to expand.  They recently announced a partnership with VyprVPN.  Customers who purchase a Anonabox Tunneler or Pro will receive 30 days of free VPN access from VyprVPN.  Their latest software update includes an interface that allows VyprVPN users, new and old, to easily connect to any server location.  The new partnership with VyprVPN is the latest step in what looks to be a breakout year for Anonabox.  You can visit Anonabox or the VyprVPN site to learn more.

Anonabox VyprVPN

What does it mean for Anonabox to partner with VyprVPN?  For starters it means that customers of both companies have the opportunity to easily connect to VyprVPN through the new Anonabox Tunneler and Pro devices.  It also gives VyprVPN members an interface similar to the one Anonabox initially developed for HMA to help in choosing a server.  It isn’t our goal to compare VyprVPN with HMA in this post but there will undoubtedly be users who prefer one VPN service over the other for a variety of reasons.  The ability to connect to either VPN through Anonabox ultimately gives users more flexibility.  I remember when the custom DD-WRT router market first started a few years ago.  The FlashRouters team partnered with OverPlay VPN right out of the gate and has since grown to support a wide range of leading VPN services.  Perhaps Anonabox is heading in the same direction.  For now it’s great to see them add VyprVPN given their dedication to online privacy.

SlickVPN Adds Custom Routers

SlickVPN customers and those looking for a VPN to protect their network will be happy to see the service introduce routers.  SlickVPN is selling custom routers pre-configured with a year of SlickVPN service.  The prices are very reasonable considering you get a full year of VPN with the device.  Their routers range from $219 to $379 based on which ASUS model you choose.  Visit the SlickVPN router page for more details.

SickVPN routers

The image above shows some of the devices SlickVPN recently added to their line up.  They are one of the only VPN services to offer their own custom routers.  Most providers work with third party router vendors like FlashRouters and Sabai Technology.  SlickVPN is taking it on themselves to do the work.  Each router is flashed with Merlin firmware which was originally based on Tomato and supports OpenVPN connections.

Here’s a list of the router models SlickVPN is currently offering:

The prices are very reasonable for a custom flashed router.  You can get a better deal on the devices themselves on a site like Amazon but it’s easy to brick a router when you try to add the custom firmware.  That’s why we recommend going with a pre-configured device.  All SlickVPN routers come with a year of VPN service.  SlickVPN offers members unlimited access to their network of VPN servers across 134 cities in 44 countries.

  • RT-AC68U DD-WRT

You really can’t go wrong with any of the routers listed above.  If you want the best value in terms of price I’d recommend the Linksys EA6900 AC1900.  You can take that router home with a free upgrade to 1 year of support for under $250.  That’s an excellent value for the powerful custom AC router.

How do you plan to watch the Super Bowl this year.  If you’re in the United States NBC is going to stream the game and several hours of additional coverage for free online.  You won’t need a paid cable of satellite subscription to enjoy the game.  However, we assume they will geo-block the broadcast to those in the US.  If you want to watch the NBC coverage from outside the US then sign up for a VPN service like IPVanish.
