Hi, dont know its any post on it, but want add Bitdefender VPN on my routers and mesh system.

There is option inside router setup, but where is Server address of VPN to add it, or you not support this one?


Routers and mesh are xiaomi ax3600 and ax3000.


Thanks!

    Hello @Zonadmn,

    The Bitdefender VPN cannot be installed on routers as this functionality is unsupported. The VPN works on all major platforms and can be installed on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.

    Hi @Alexandru_BD

    Thanks for clarifying this matter

    To be honest this is surprising since this is a basic feature in Bitdefender's direct competition.

    Unfortunately this is a deal breaker since I was planning on purchasing an All-in-one plan but now have to look elsewhere for VPN service.

    Are there any plans to implement this feature?

    Regards

    Hello @acuervofm,

    I'm unaware of any plans of implementation, but with the ever-changing cybersecurity environment, I'm not rulling it out. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if this is something the development teams would consider in the near future.

    I want to do the same on my home TP-Link XE75 Mesh router. In the VPN settings it has options for Nord and Surfshark VPN services configuration plus a custom selection. Currently I have a 15 device Total Security license including Premium VPN and find it disappointing that I can't configure the VPN on my router. I noticed in my search that you provide a Bitdefender Box for $99/year subscription. Just what I need is another subscription! I have several already including the two from Bitdefender. I might have to reconsider which VPN subscription I purchase if I want to protect my house IoT devices, etc.

    This seems to be a feature on most other VPN's… like the OP said, this is kind of a showstopper.

    Hi @fat_angi,

    For the type of usage and requirements you specified, I would recommend Netgear Armor - https://www.netgear.com/home/services/armor/

    So, you could migrate to this. It's the best IoT protection available on the market, in my opinion.

    Thanks for the post Zonadmn. I will be leaving Bitdefender as a customer once my subscription expires and will find business with one of the competitors. This service has been enough of a headache for me. Not being to use my VPN services directly on my home router is the last straw for me. Offering me another subscription/product is like spitting in my face.

    Hi @kwashere,

    I'm sorry to hear you feel this way. The Netgear Armor solution was suggested as an alternative, since the Bitdefender VPN is not designed to be used on servers.
