For users demanding stronger privacy and data protection, firmware v4.7 now supports WireGuard across popular VPN providers like AzireVPN, NordVPN, Private Internet Access (PIA), and Surfshark. WireGuard is a modern protocol known for its speed and strong encryption, ensuring your data stays private and secure whether you’re browsing, streaming, or working remotely.
Simply select your preferred VPN service, and in just a few clicks, you’ll enjoy fast, stable, and secure connections.
2.2 Seamless AzireVPN Setup
Looking for an easy VPN solution? GL.iNet routers now support AzireVPN registration directly from the router interface, making it quick to sign up and protect your online activity. AzireVPN is renowned for its no-logs policy and robust privacy features. Even better, when you register today, you’ll get one month of free AzireVPN access. No more hassle—just fast, secure internet.
3. AstroWarp: Your Personal Network Optimizer
With AstroWarp, you can combine different network types—home Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, or wired connections—into one high-speed network. This feature optimizes your internet experience by aggregating multiple bandwidth sources, resulting in faster speeds and more stable performance.
What if one of your networks goes down? No problem—AstroWarp automatically switches to a functioning connection, ensuring your online activities remain uninterrupted. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or working, you’ll always stay connected.
AstroWarp also supports remote access, so content creators and professionals can transfer large files or access resources remotely with ease. Plus, with a visual topology map configuration interface, setting up your network is as simple as stacking building blocks. You can even assign custom domain names for personalized access to your network!
4. Control D DNS: Smart, Safe, and Ad-Free Browsing
For a smarter, safer browsing experience, Control D DNS provides advanced features like smart resolution, privacy protection, and malicious site filtering. It automatically selects the best DNS server based on your network environment, delivering faster load times whether you’re gaming, streaming, or simply browsing.
Privacy is more important than ever, and Control D DNS encrypts your DNS queries to prevent monitoring and data theft. It also filters out phishing sites, malware, and ads in real-time, giving you a cleaner, faster, and more secure internet experience.
5. Enhanced Repeater Privacy: Random MAC Address Updates
Privacy concerns are taken to the next level with the random MAC address update feature in the Repeater function. This update automatically generates a new MAC address when your device connects to a network or reboots, making it harder for your device to be tracked or exploited by attackers.
Whether you’re connecting to public Wi-Fi, working in a shared environment, or prioritizing privacy, this feature reduces the chances of your device being identified, tracked, or denied service. You can customize the update strategy to suit your security needs—choose to update the MAC address with every reboot or at scheduled intervals.
Use Case Scenarios:
- When using public Wi-Fi, a random MAC address protects you from being tracked.
- In shared environments like dormitories or offices, it prevents interference and network conflicts.
- For security-conscious users, this is an essential feature for added peace of mind.
