Description
Sabai Technology VPN Accelerator 5.0 Overview
The Sabai Technology VPN Accelerator 5.0 is a dedicated VPN appliance designed to provide faster VPN speeds across your home or business network without requiring you to replace your existing router or mesh Wi-Fi system.
Instead of relying on a traditional router to manage both your network and VPN encryption, the VPN Accelerator handles VPN processing on its own dedicated hardware. Your existing router or mesh system can then focus on managing your local network and wireless connections while the Accelerator handles the VPN.
Why Choose the VPN Accelerator?
The VPN Accelerator combines dedicated VPN processing with the flexibility to use the router or mesh Wi-Fi system that works best for your network.
- Faster VPN performance by moving VPN processing from your router to dedicated hardware
- Works with your existing router or mesh system including compatible stock firmware, Sabai OS, DD-WRT, and OpenWRT
- Supports WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2
- Up to 1300% faster VPN speeds compared with running a VPN directly on some routers*
- Dedicated quad-core Intel processor handles VPN processing separately from your router
- Whole-network VPN connectivity without installing a VPN application on every device
- No dedicated VPN router required
*Actual performance and speed improvements vary based on your internet connection, VPN provider, VPN protocol, selected VPN server, network configuration, hardware, and other factors.
Note: If your modem and router are combined into a single device, you will need a separate router or mesh Wi-Fi system connected to the VPN Accelerator to distribute the VPN connection.
30-Day Hardware Warranty • 30-Day Customer Satisfaction Guarantee • 30 Days of Sabai Freedom Technical Support
With a quad-core Intel processor and 4 GB of RAM dedicated to VPN processing, the VPN Accelerator is designed to overcome the performance limitations that can occur when VPN encryption is handled directly by consumer router hardware.
The VPN Accelerator supports WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 and can be used with Sabai OS routers, compatible stock firmware routers, DD-WRT, OpenWRT, and compatible mesh Wi-Fi systems.
Connect the VPN Accelerator to a compatible router or mesh Wi-Fi system to provide VPN connectivity to computers, phones, tablets, smart TVs, streaming devices, game consoles, and other network devices. Because the VPN connection is handled at the network level, individual VPN applications are not required on each connected device.

Works With Your Existing Router or Mesh System
You do not need a Sabai OS VPN router to use the VPN Accelerator. The Accelerator handles VPN processing separately, allowing a compatible router or mesh Wi-Fi system to distribute the VPN connection throughout your network.
This gives you the flexibility to choose the Wi-Fi system that best fits your home or business while using dedicated hardware for VPN processing. It is particularly useful if you already have a router or whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system that you want to continue using.
Note: If your modem and router are combined into a single device, you will need a separate router or mesh Wi-Fi system connected to the VPN Accelerator to distribute the VPN connection.
VPN Accelerator With Sabai OS
When paired with a compatible Sabai OS VPN Router, the VPN Accelerator can be used with Sabai OS Gateways for additional device-by-device connection control.
Gateways allows supported devices to be assigned to your regular local internet connection, the router's VPN connection, or the VPN Accelerator connection directly from the Sabai OS dashboard.
VPN Accelerator & Proxy
The VPN Accelerator also supports proxy functionality. This provides additional flexibility for users who want to route traffic from a particular application or browser through a different connection while other traffic continues to use the normal network connection.
Who Is the VPN Accelerator For?
- Multi-device households: Provide VPN connectivity to smart TVs, streaming devices, computers, tablets, phones, game consoles, and other network devices.
- Mesh Wi-Fi users: Add dedicated VPN processing while continuing to use your existing compatible mesh Wi-Fi system.
- Remote workers and travelers: Create a VPN-connected network using compatible network equipment.
- Gamers and streamers: Offload VPN encryption from the router so the router can focus on network and Wi-Fi management.
- Home offices and small businesses: Provide VPN connectivity across multiple devices without replacing existing compatible network equipment.
- Sabai OS users: Combine the VPN Accelerator with Gateways for additional device-by-device connection control.
VPN Accelerator Performance
The VPN Accelerator can provide significantly higher VPN throughput than running VPN encryption directly on many consumer routers. In testing, speed increases of up to 1300% have been observed in certain configurations.
Actual VPN performance depends on several factors, including your internet plan, VPN provider, VPN protocol, selected VPN server, geographic location, network configuration, connected hardware, and other factors.
A useful way to estimate potential VPN Accelerator performance is to run your VPN provider's application directly on a capable computer and perform a speed test. Since the computer handles VPN encryption independently from your router, those results can provide a general indication of the VPN performance that may be possible with dedicated processing hardware.
You can also view our VPN Accelerator speed test results.
Important Compatibility Information
The VPN Accelerator supports WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 VPN connection types. VPN provider requirements, protocols, and configurations can change over time, so please confirm that your VPN provider supports a compatible connection type before purchasing.
Some streaming services, websites, applications, and other online services attempt to detect and block VPN traffic. If your VPN connects successfully and displays the VPN server's IP address, the VPN connection is functioning correctly. However, compatibility with any specific streaming service, website, application, or online content cannot be guaranteed.

Awesome VPN accelerator
I have been a frequent Sabai customer and have bought units from them. This accelerator truly is an awesome add to my units. Rhett was very helpful. Thank you.

Couldn’t ask for more
With the VPN accelerator installed here in Costa Rica and StrongVPN at the U.S. end, our download speeds are actually a little faster than before. The Sabai staff have made this installation go butter-smooth. Let them preconfigure your hardware and all that’s left to do is plug it together — like Leggos.

VPN Model Z does the trick!
Our four year-old Sabai VPN router needed too frequent attention from Tech Support, so we decided to get a Sabai VPN Accelerator Model Z. We had it preconfigured ($20 well spent), installed it along with an Amazon eero wi-fi 6 mesh router, and it works like a charm. There were simply no issues to resolve. What more could we ask? And Sabai's Tech Support has been beyond outstanding. Appointments are readily available and the technicians are professional and personable. And they speak honest-to-gosh English! That's a plus. If there's any doubt in your mind, sign up for the annual service plan. Our service here in Costa Rica is a snail-like 12m and I was concerned about what bandwidth we might lose with the new VPN Accelerator. Instead, we actually gained a little! Our connection now comes in at over 11.5m down and that's strained through three wireless devices between us and the ISP's base antenna. Bottom Line: Forget the 90-day satisfaction guarantee. You won't need it.
