Put ForestVPN on your router

How it works

1. 01

   Install the container

   Add ForestVPN to RouterOS as a container with the install script from the download page.

2. 02

   Link it with a code

   The router prints a link code in its log and on its own page. Use it to link the router to your account.

3. 03

   Choose where the traffic goes

   Pick the exit from a page on your local network, and choose whether everything, chosen apps or chosen devices go through the tunnel.

What you get

• Everything behind the router, or only the devices and apps you choose.
• A kill switch on the router, and a routing guide that handles RouterOS fasttrack.
• About 3 MB of memory for the core in the measured run.

OpenWrt routers have a signed package feed and a LuCI app: see the OpenWrt page.

Limits and honest caveats

• The router's CPU is the speed limit. On the two test routers the core moved 122 Mbit/s over a gigabit LAN.
• Use a board with storage that survives a reboot: some small boards lose the container's files when they restart.
• A router is one device on your account.

Where it exists

• MikroTik

Plans

A router signs in like any other device, so it follows your plan.
