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.
If you need assistance or want to explore Privacy Hero 2, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Global Kill Switch is a very important feature if you want to keep your internet connection secure at all times, even in the rare case that your VPN connection unexpectedly drops for any reason at any time.
By enabling Kill Switch this will block internet access entirely if the VPN disconnects, and the internet will only be accessible again once the VPN connection starts up again.
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 Connect page.
Check Global Kill Switch to have your FlashRouter disconnect from the internet if the VPN connection drops.
Uncheck this box to stay connected to the internet if the VPN is disconnected.
Feature alert! Kill Switch by device is available in the Options page of the FR Privacy App if you would like certain devices to be able to access the internet without VPN. If you want to use Kill Switch by device then you must first disable Global Kill Switch.
