Important Update: DD-WRT Privacy App Discontinued
The FlashRouter Privacy App has been discontinued and is no longer compatible with new versions of DD-WRT firmware. If you are using DD-WRT, you can still set up OpenVPN or WireGuard manually with the latest DD-WRT builds. Our team is available to assist anyone with an active service plan during this transition.
For the easiest and most secure VPN setup experience, we highly recommend our Privacy Hero 2 solution. It’s designed to make home network security simple and comes with exclusive features, including pre-configured VPN and streaming capabilities.

Access the FR Privacy App and then pop out the FlashRouters Privacy App logo in the navigation area and make sure you are on the Options page.
Select Networks under Policy Routing and identify the network that you plan on adding a policy routing rule for and then select the Action option that you would like to use.
