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.

Support, Hardware & Returns

The Sabai Technology VPN Accelerator 5.0 includes 30 days of Sabai Freedom Technical Support, a 30-day hardware warranty, and a 30-day Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.

For complete eligibility requirements, return shipping responsibilities, international return information, and other terms, please refer to our current return and support policies.

    Highly Recommended!!

    Posted by Jim O on Nov 3rd 2015

    I am on a temporary work assignment in the Middle East / Gulf. I needed a whole house VPN solution for AppleTV, streaming to the mobile devices, accessing the USA, etc. I bought the Sabai ASUS RT-66U router and used PPTP originally. I have 100 mbps service but the VPN speeds were always around the 5 mbps speeds - not the best for streaming to the Middle East). After about a year the PPTP performance became very slow. I worked with my VPN provider and I switched to OpenVPN, and with some fine tuning was back to 5 mbps. At this speed - streaming was still choppy and unreliable. I researched the VPN accelerator, read the reviews and decided to purchase however my expectations were very low. Setup was easy - in less than 5 minutes I was up and running. Using OpenVPN, the speeds are now 20 mbps up / down and I have no VPN performance issues any more. The 4x improvement was well worth the VPN Accelerator! What is also a great benefit is that with the router / VPN accelerator combo - I can dynamically specify which device will use VPN and which will not. This is very handy since some devices like AppleTV are always on VPN, and other devices like local work laptop / using VPN is not. Another great feature is the proxy function. This allows me to set up one browser to use the VPN Accelerator, and another browser to use the local ISP - without having to dynamically change the device configuration. Sabai Tech Support / Rhett have been stellar! During the the time where I was having VPN problems ... my VPN provider provided minimal support, whereas Sabai Tech Support / Rhett worked with me to try to resolve my issues - even though it was clear the router was not root cause. In this day and age - it’s been a while since someone has been that dedicated to customer satisfaction as Sabai Tech Support / Rhett. Bottom Line: I strongly recommend the Sabai VPN Accelerator and the Sabai ASUS RT-66U router combo!!

    I'm very impressed

    Posted by Les Sawyer on Feb 18th 2015

    I recently purchased the SABAI VPN Accelerator, before using the Sabai VPN accelerator I was using IP Vanish through my Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 (R7000), at the time it was the fastest dual core router out there. The fastest that I've ever seen it push my VPN was around 22 mb/s down and around 5 mb/s up. After the SABAI VPN Accelerator was installed I am now seeing around 60 mb/s down and 10 mb/s up. All I can say is WOW, I'm very impressed. I also would like to mention that Ruth & William both did an excellent job helping me with my network, I have quite a few servers, domain, VPN, intelligent HP routers, LACP Link Aggregated connections, Watchdog Timer, NTP connected to GPS clock, VOIP (OOMA) and a lot more all behind my VPN and let me tell you... Ruth & William both were there when I needed them, they both were able to analyze my network and quickly get it up and running. I highly recommend the Sabai VPN accelerator if you've been getting sub-par performance out of your expensive multi-core/processor router. This is the hardware you need to get you up and running at top speeds.

    little piece of magic

    Posted by john budgie on Feb 3rd 2015

    having a vpn installed on my asus ac68u router i found my download load speed had slowed down to 20Mb's from 60Mb's, i did some research on the internet and read about the vpn proxy excellerator sold by sabai technologies and that by having this device set up to my router it would take the workload from my router processor and give me the extra download speed which i needed, all i can say this piece of hardware is excellent and with the technical advise from ruth i am now downloading at 60Mb's regularly and reaching speeds of up to 100Mb's, thank you Sabai

    Works wonderfully - hard to setup

    Posted by Andrew Bartelt on Jan 13th 2015

    I'm cheap and didn't want to replace my perfectly functioning router so I bought just the accelerator. That made setting it up a little tricky. Unfortunately, there was no web-interface provided to set a static ip address. So the first thing I had to do was use my DHCP server to assign a specific ip address based on the MAC address of the accelerator. The trick was configuring the DHCP server to hand out the ip addres of the accelerator as the gateway for all the computers on the network but hand out the ip address of my router as the gateway for the accelerator. And then configuring it to work with https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ was tricky. There was some website that I found that sabai had created that took the ovpn file and the .crt file and combined them into one file. And then I eventually figured out that I had to add a ";" at the beginning of a line in the .ovpn file. But after all that, it works like a charm. I'm able to detect basically no slow down on my 100 Mb/s down and 10 Mb/s up connection from Comcast. Yeah!

    Upgrade the OS from V1 to V2

    Posted by Guest on Jul 30th 2014

    I have upgraded the OS of my V1 accelerator to V2. The effort of turning on the VPN service every time the accelerator is switched on is now replaced with auto connect on reboot. The GUI of the new OS is also miles ahead of V1. Thanks Sabai.

    An awesome product just got better!!

    Posted by Guest on Jul 25th 2014

    I have been using the accelerator in combination with my router for over a year now. This is the simplest way I have found to be able to leverage my high-speed connection in concert with my VPN. I have a 150 Mbps connection (up/down) and the accelerator allows me to hit near maximum throughput. It is important to note that you need a VPN service that can handle this type of speed and won’t throttle the connection. Prior to leveraging the accelerator I was only able to obtain 10-15 Mbps through a consumer grade router. Why have an awesome connection if you can’t leverage it? Lastly the newly enhanced GUI brings a simple interface and enhanced feature functionality making the product truly outstanding. Most should have no issues setting up and configuring; If you do have issues the most excellent support team will walk you through everything.

    A very good product even got better

    Posted by Chris Marx on Jul 20th 2014

    This new version comes with a completly redesigned user interface. So the setup (you usually only have to do this once) is even more simple and it comes with some cool features. DNS Server can be configured and used with just one click. Openvpn setup can be setup and edited very easily by just one click. Whenever you need to switch off the VPNA or the router you no longer have to restart the VPN tunnel manually - it restarts and connects automatically. So just hit the switch - wait a moment and everything works - like fire and forget. The speed improvement and speed stability is awesome. This VPNA new Version manages to hold the speed at 17-19 Mbits (download) - before it was shifting from 11-17 MBits. Upload speed is now at my providers maximum speed of 5 Mbits. Usefull addition - get the Freedom Package - so you do not have to worry about updates and installation. The top notch customer service will help you whenever there should be a problem or question.
