[Wireless Router] How to set up CyberGhost in VPN Fusion with an ASUS router?

Introduction

 

 

What is VPN?

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology/software that offers online privacy, security, and the ability to access geo-restricted content. VPNs encrypt internet connections, protect sensitive data, and enable users to bypass censorship or access region-locked services, making them a popular tool for safeguarding online activities and accessing a free and open internet.

 

Why must we set up by VPN Fusion?

VPN Fusion is an ASUS router built-in feature. It helps devices that cannot install VPN software, like Smart TVs/Game consoles, to access regional games, shows, live sports, or content. You no longer need to set up each VPN-required device and be able to manage VPN settings for multiple devices on a single ASUS router.

 

What is CyberGhost? 

A solution for privacy and anonymity online. With top-tier encryption and a strict no-logs policy, CyberGhost ensures your internet activity remains hidden from prying eyes, including ISPs, hackers, advertisers, and government agencies. With servers worldwide, you can access your favorite content from anywhere, all while enjoying blazing-fast speeds.
