Domain based VPN Gateway for all devices.
.
SmartGW is a VPN Gateway that allows you to route HTTP/HTTPS traffic for specific domains to go through VPN tunnel while keeping the other traffic goes through your ISP gateway.
Example:
- HTTP/HTTPS for netflix.com (from all devices in your network) --> Will go through your VPN tunnel.
- HTTP/HTTPS for youtube.com (from all devices in your network) --> Will go through your ISP gateway.
This can help you to:
- Access Geo-restricted content.
- Access any blocked domains.
- Use it with all your devices (Laptop, Mobiles, SmartTV...etc).
- Utilize your full ISP network speed to access any site that you don't want it to go through the VPN tunnel.
- Work with Pi-Hole for Network-wide Ad Blocking
- More browsing privacy?.
Features
- Works with all devices in local network (PC, Laptop, Mobiles, SmartTV...etc).
- No need to change any settings in your devices, install SmartGW and configure the DNS in your internet router.
- Simple GUI to check SmartGW status and to add/remove any domain.
- Automatically connect to the fastest low latency VPN servers in a given country.
- Auto retry and auto-failover to next best VPN server if the connection dies.
