We get many questions about the Guardian Security App. The most common questions include how it works, what features is has, which providers and servers are supported and can it be installed on any router.
Why do I need the Guardian Security App?
Running a VPN on your Router protects all of your devices. This gets round the 'you can only install the VPN on 5 devices' rule implemented by most of the VPN providers. The Router is seen as just one device. This means you can connect any number of your devices to your Router and they will all use the VPN, including PC, laptop, phone, IPTV etc and it only counts as one connection!
Setting up a VPN on your router securely can be very difficult. You need to import certificates, keys, protocols and implement a whole host of other settings to get it to work. Then, if you want to have a 'Kill Switch', implement 'Policy Based Routing' or force certain website destinations to bypass the VPN you have another whole loads of settings and scripts to set up. Many people spend hours trying to set this all up so they are secure only to find the VPN just will not connect or, if it does, the DNS leaks leaving them exposed. Many more just give up. If you do manage to get it set up you need to edit the code each time you want to change server address - not ideal..
The Guardian Security App is mobile friendly enabling you to control your network and quickly switch VPN servers from your phone or tablet as well as from you PC or laptop.
What is the Guardian Security App?
The Guardian Security App is a advanced add-on App extension that can be installed on certain DD-WRT firmware Routers. It can be accessed from any phone, tablet or PC and allows total control over the router, VPN and network. The Guardian Security App is pre-loaded with all the required VPN configuration files from the top 30 VPN providers making it simple to connect and use your VPN. There is no complicated router configurations, importing of certs and keys or edits to set up the VPN or change server address - just select your VPN provider and server location from the list, enter your VPN username and password and click connect - it really is that simple!
So what does the Guardian Security App do?
It takes away ALL of the grief. There is no setting up to do. The Guardian Security App automatically imports all of the certificates, keys and settings required to connect you VPN so you don't have to.
If you want to implement advanced features such as 'Kill Switch', 'Policy Based Routing' or 'Whitelist' some websites, so you bypass the VPN when you visit them, just enable these features at the click of a button. The Guardian Security App makes everything simple.
