Who is a router setup for?
A PlayStation, a smart TV or a cable box can't run a VPN app. Behind a router running VPNPass, they're covered anyway, and you skip setting up each device.
One catch: each file points at a single server. To move the router to a different location you import a different file. Changing countries often? Leave the router on one location, and once the apps are out, switch countries on your phone or laptop instead.
Can only some devices use the VPN?
On many routers, yes. Look for policy routing on OpenWrt, VPN Director on ASUS, or the per-device rules in GL.iNet's VPN client page. Use it when a work laptop or game console should skip the VPN.
Keep the file's DNS entry unchanged so name lookups stay with VPNPass too. Parental controls and DNS rebind protection can swap it for another server, so check that they leave it alone.
Slow, or connected with no internet?
With a router, VPN speed is limited by how strong its chip is. An older or low-cost model can slow down a lot with the VPN on, even on a fast line.
If the router says connected but devices can't load pages, check the router's clock and firmware version. A wrong clock breaks the WireGuard handshake, and outdated firmware sometimes misreads parts of the file.
