FlashedRouter is a pre-flashed router pair — one stays plugged in at home, one travels in your bag. Your traffic keeps looking like it's coming from your own house, anywhere there's Wi-Fi.
$349.99 kit + $9.99/mo · covers every device behind the router · 30-day return window
The IP never changes. Only where you're standing does.
Most home-IP kits and mesh VPNs are built around per-device pricing and multi-step setup. We built ours around the three things travelers actually complain about.
Plug in the home unit, pair the travel unit, done. No account creation, no client software, no re-authenticating when a hotspot forgets you.
One monthly line, no per-device or per-seat pricing. Every phone, laptop, and console behind the router is covered by the same fee.
The travel unit is smaller than a paperback and runs off USB-C — no brick, no bulky adapter tax on your bag.
We compared ourselves against the specs and setup flow most home-IP router kits publish today.

Full side-by-side on setup, hardware, and pricing if you're comparing home-IP router kits.
Tailscale connects your own devices to each other. FlashedRouter makes outside services think you're at home. Here's the difference.
A plain-language guide to hardware VPNs vs. software VPN clients — and when each one actually makes sense.
Three kinds of trips we designed around — yours is probably one of them.
Corporate systems that flag every login from a new country stop flagging you — because you're not calling from a new country.
Runs alongside your employer's VPN client instead of fighting it, since it lives on the network, not on your laptop. If you already use Tailscale to reach your home devices, this solves the adjacent problem: making outside services believe you're on your home network too. See how the two compare.
Streaming, banking, and family accounts keep working the way they did before you relocated — no re-verifying your identity from scratch each time.
It sits between your existing router and the wall, drawing its own connection from your home internet. Nothing else at home changes.
Smaller than a paperback, charges over USB-C, no separate power brick to remember.
Join any Wi-Fi or plug into ethernet. Within about four minutes, your traffic is routing back through home.
+ $9.99/mo to keep the tunnel active
Ships worldwide. Taxes and shipping calculated at checkout.
No — it runs at the network level, alongside whatever VPN client your employer requires. Most people keep both running with no conflict.
The travel unit falls back to a direct connection and lets you know it's no longer tunneling home, rather than silently failing open.
$349.99 for the kit, plus $9.99/month to keep the tunnel active. That's the whole pricing model — one flat monthly line covers every device behind the router, not a per-device or per-seat fee.
