VPN Accelerator
Get Faster VPN Speeds with a VPN Accelerator
The Sabai Technology VPN Accelerator is dedicated VPN hardware designed to handle the processing required for your VPN connection separately from your WiFi router. Instead of relying on a router's processor to encrypt and decrypt VPN traffic, the VPN Accelerator uses dedicated computer hardware to provide significantly faster VPN performance.
Connect the VPN Accelerator to a compatible router or mesh WiFi system to provide VPN access across your network without requiring VPN software on every individual device. It can be used with Sabai OS routers, stock routers, mesh WiFi systems, DD-WRT, OpenWRT, and other compatible network configurations.
Why use a VPN Accelerator? Running a VPN directly on a router can reduce VPN speed because the router must perform the encryption itself. The VPN Accelerator moves that work to dedicated hardware, helping eliminate the router processing bottleneck and providing VPN speeds closer to those achieved when running VPN software directly on a computer.
VPN Performance Without Replacing Your WiFi System
A VPN Accelerator does not replace your wireless router or mesh system. Instead, it handles the VPN connection while your router or mesh system continues doing what it does best: providing WiFi and network connectivity throughout your home or business.
This makes it possible to pair dedicated VPN processing with the wireless system that works best for your network. Whether you use a traditional WiFi router, a whole-home mesh system, or compatible third-party router firmware, you do not need to rely on that device's processor to handle the VPN encryption.
Whole-Network VPN for Your Devices
Using a VPN Accelerator at the network level allows connected devices to access your VPN without installing a separate VPN application on each device. This can be especially useful for smart TVs, streaming devices, game consoles, computers, tablets, phones, and other devices that may not support traditional VPN applications.
Depending on your network configuration, the VPN Accelerator can be used to create a dedicated VPN network alongside your regular internet connection or provide VPN connectivity to an entire network.
OpenVPN, WireGuard & IKEv2 Support
The VPN Accelerator supports WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 VPN protocols, giving you flexibility when connecting to compatible VPN providers. It also includes a proxy server option for configurations where more specific connection control is needed.
Because VPN providers can change their protocols, configuration requirements, and supported encryption standards over time, compatibility with a specific VPN provider should be confirmed before purchase.
How Much Faster Is a VPN Accelerator?
VPN encryption can place a significant processing load on traditional router hardware. By moving VPN processing to dedicated Intel-based hardware, the VPN Accelerator can dramatically improve VPN throughput compared with running the same VPN directly on compatible router hardware.
In testing, VPN speed increases of up to 1300% have been achieved compared with running a VPN directly on a router. Actual VPN speeds and performance improvements vary based on your internet connection, VPN provider, VPN protocol, VPN server, geographic location, network configuration, and other factors.
Use a VPN Accelerator with a Router or Mesh WiFi System
The VPN Accelerator can be paired with a traditional router or compatible mesh WiFi system, making it a flexible option for larger homes, small businesses, and networks where strong wireless coverage and higher VPN performance are both important.
If your modem and WiFi router are combined into a single device, an additional router or mesh WiFi system may be required to create and broadcast the VPN network.
VPN Accelerator vs. VPN Router
A VPN router processes the VPN connection using the router's own hardware. A VPN Accelerator separates VPN processing from the router, allowing dedicated hardware to handle the encryption while your router or mesh system manages your wired and wireless network.
For customers who need higher VPN throughput, want to use a mesh WiFi system, or prefer to keep their existing router, a VPN Accelerator can provide greater flexibility and significantly faster VPN performance than relying on compatible router hardware alone.
VPN speeds vary and cannot be guaranteed. Some streaming services, websites, applications, and other online services attempt to detect and block VPN traffic. A successful VPN connection does not guarantee access to any particular streaming service, website, application, or geographically restricted content.
