Can I Choose Which Windows 11 Devices Connect to a VPN?

While having all your devices connected to a VPN is convenient, sometimes you need access to your connection without a VPN. If that’s something you need, the FlashRouters Privacy App provides a convenient solution, policy-routing-by-device.

Once you connect to VPN you easily choose which devices connect to VPN, while which devices go through your normal ISP connection or even alternate setup.

Creating a VPN profile is super easy with our FlashRouters Privacy App. Simply open up the app on your browser, click “Connect”, and you will be brought to the configuration screen. 

1. Select your VPN Provider from the drop-down menu.
2. Enter Your Username and password
3. Select a server from the auto-populated list
4. Once you do that, the “Connect” button will pop up, and you can click it
5. That’s it—all of your Wi-Fi-connected devices will have VPN coverage!
