Not sure if your router is supported and/or can't find it on the list above?

First, see if you can find your router on our list of unsupported routers.

If it’s not on there, check the user manual that came with your router (usually manuals are available for download on the manufacturer’s website). Search the manual for any mentions of OpenVPN support. Your router must support the OpenVPN server, client, or both in order to potentially support a NordVPN configuration. If you can’t find this information in the manual, consider contacting your router’s manufacturer.

Note: If your router was issued by your ISP, it probably does not support VPN configurations. If that is the case, there are routers that come pre-configured with NordVPN. Our partner FlashRouters offers a selection of powerful routers that come with NordVPN out of the box.
