Why Do You Need a VPN for Huawei Routers?
By configuring a VPN on your Huawei router, you can:
Protect More of Your Home Network
Route compatible devices through an encrypted VPN connection from your Huawei router. Traffic from those devices gets VPN protection before it reaches the wider internet.
Cover Devices Without VPN Apps
Bring VPN coverage to smart TVs, gaming consoles, streaming devices, and other connected devices that cannot run VPN apps. Your router handles the VPN connection for them.
Manage VPN Protection From One Place
Configure PureVPN once on your Huawei router instead of repeating the process across device after device. One connection can cover multiple supported devices on the network.
Can You Install a VPN on Your Huawei Router?
Yes, you can install a VPN on compatible Huawei routers, but support varies by model and firmware. Your router needs a built-in VPN client and support for a compatible VPN protocol before you can connect it to PureVPN.
Check your Huawei router’s VPN settings before you begin. If you do not see a VPN client option or are unsure whether your model is supported, reaching out to PureVPN’s Customer Support team can help you confirm compatibility.
Setting Up a VPN on Huawei Routers
You can use PureVPN with your Huawei router by connecting a second router that supports VPN client connections. Just follow these steps:
-
Connect a second router to your Huawei router
Use an Ethernet cable to connect a LAN port on your Huawei router to the WAN (Internet) port on your VPN-compatible router. For detailed steps, follow our guide to connecting two routers. -
Make sure it has an internet connection
Open the second router’s administration panel and confirm that it has internet access through your Huawei router. -
Set up PureVPN on the second router
Follow the PureVPN setup guide for your router. If you cannot find your model, get in touch with our 24/7 support team for instructions. -
Test the VPN on your device
Connect your devices to the second router through Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Visit an IP address checker to confirm that your public IP reflects the VPN connection.
Note: Devices connected directly to the Huawei router will not use PureVPN. To use the VPN connection, connect them to the second router.
What Makes PureVPN the Best Huawei VPN?
Global Server Network
Your router does not have to stay tied to one location. Choose from 6,000+ servers in 65+ countries and switch your network to another available IP when you want.
24/7 Live Chat
Router configuration can get tricky across different Huawei models. If you hit a snag, our customer support team is available 24/7 to help you get up and running.
Proven No-Log Policy
Protect your traffic without leaving a record of what you do online. PureVPN’s no-log policy has been independently audited multiple times, meaning we do not keep any logs.
Strong Encryption
Your Huawei router can carry traffic from several connected devices at once. Strong encryption keeps that traffic protected as it travels between your network and the VPN server.
Unlimited Bandwidth
One router can move a lot of data. With no bandwidth caps, connected devices can browse, stream, game, and download without having to watch a monthly usage limit.
