Thank you, mine is a GT-AX11000, which is not exactly the same, but your great instructions helped immensely, now hopefully, my internet provider will stop throttling my connection

Hi Gvidas, 1st I'd like to say with the exception that I'm 2 years late watching this video and a lot of steps that you mention in the Surshark login in app have changed or been updated, I was still able to add Surshark VPN to my Asus RT-AC3100. I have a few questions and I'm hoping this channel is still being monitored, as I searched for the latest video and this one is all I could find,
1. When Surfshark VPN is activated on my router, is it still necessary to activate VPN on my other devices, like my laptop, TV when streaming, or my cellphone?
2. Are all devices that are connected to the router protected via upstream & downstream?
Thank you, the video was very helpful and really easy to setup the service. Just not sure or understand exactly what VPN on a router does/prevents.

In Melbourne Australia - getting constant disconnection issues with SurfShark - very frustrating

[papad]

Do I still need to activate Surfshark on my TV or cell phone that are using the router. How can I verify they are protected?

[Justsomeguy]

Will this work with tp-link with openvpn client

[SolgerLemp]

The manual setup page looks different for me, there's no locations

[adamjsonkowalsky]

This is an old interface. I have totally different options.

Good afternoon, tell me please, is the Asus RT-N19 wi-fi router suitable for these actions?

[carlhanson]

I would like to know how to install Surfshark VPN on my new ASUS RT-AX58U router. Would the instructions in your video "How to set up Surfshark VPN on ASUSWRT router" be relevant to this model?

[Edp-jfzn]

will this vpn be turned on my wifi all the time or do i have turn it on my self

I had IPVanish which doesn’t work for Hulu. I decided to try Surfshark, which does work, however the movies shows blurry which is really frustrating. I have a Samsung q80b and prior to using Shurfshark I was getting 4K movies. Now my movies shows 780p. I have tried downloading the TCP instead of UDP and the same quality. I will contact customer service for a refund.

Hi! Any recommendation of Asus router model?

[tcuscg]

Very helpful. Just sub'd to SurfShark. Added to my two cell phones. WIll be adding it to my ASUS ROG Rapture Router (GT-AC5300) Switching from NordVPN to SS. I also use a AC1900 for my MESH coverage FWIW. I have a TP-Link AX6000 WiFi 6 Router(Archer AX6000) at another location also.
