By setting up AdGuard VPN on your router, you can protect your data on devices where you cannot install VPN apps, such as smart TVs and game consoles. | ||
|
||
:::note | ||
|
||
This option is only available if you have an AdGuard VPN subscription and your router supports IPsec. | ||

||
Please note that the next steps may vary depending on your router. We have used the Keenetic router as an example. | ||
|
||
- In your admin page, go to the router settings | ||
- Enable *VPN Client* and click *Add VPN server* | ||
- Select IPsec-client (it may be called IKE; not L2TP/IPsec) | ||
- Enter the credentials you created in step 3 | ||
|

You’ll need to update your router settings if you want to change the VPN server location. | ||

## Why setting up AdGuard VPN on your router may be useful | ||
|
||
- With AdGuard VPN on your router, neither your VPN provider nor anyone else has access to your Internet activity | ||
- Installing AdGuard VPN on your router secures your entire network, meaning that all devices connected to it are protected | ||
- You can enhance security and protect your data on devices where it's not possible to install AdGuard VPN apps — smart TVs (*currently, AdGuard VPN is only available on Android TV*) and game consoles |
