GL.iNet MT2500A (Brume 2) Mini VPN Security Gateway for Home Office and Remote Work-VPN Server&Client for Home and Office, VPN Cascading, Internet Security, 2.5G WAN, *NO Wi-Fi* (Aluminium Alloy Case)

I have tried a RPI (tricky & unreliable), Asus AC-88U (slow, max 44 MB/s OVPN only) for my VPN. Stumbled upon this and thought I would give it a try. Perfect for me. Connection via Ethernet from my SKY modem/router, enabled VPN client on device (Mullvad), any that supports Wireguard or OVPN (will be slower though) will do and connected to my ASUS router via Ethernet & Bob's your uncle, it works. Speeds from 250 MB/s (using the Asus as the WiFi router) via WiFi up to 450 MB/s via Ethernet. I only have a 500 MB/s line. I am over the moon with this device as it delivers all I need for my house needs. If you are looking for an easy to use and reliable & fast gateway VPN device, this is it.

I have security cameras which don’t allow access to recordings without a subscription. With this I can use Tailscale or ZeroTier to access my home network. Fantastic solution without the complication of setting up a VPN, especially if you don’t have a public up address. This solved my problems overnight with only 5 mins to set up once connected to my router and added devices to access home network remotely. I would have preferred the plastic case which was cheaper but not available on Amazon. But the peace of mind being able to return was worth it.

Great bit of kit. Does the job nicely and its a compact size is a bonus

Great mini router, user-friendly interface, had issues with the VPN set up, doesn't allow you to load an encrypted VPN token but was fine with off the shelf VPN click/drag

My Brume 2 did brick after almost 2 years due to a firmware upgrade issue, but honestly, GL.iNet support was outstanding – they guided me through recovery steps and eventually replaced the unit, nearly 2 years after I bought it. That kind of customer service is rare. Aside from the firmware hiccup, the device worked flawlessly and did exactly what I needed it to do. I’m not put off at all – I’ll be using the replacement just as much. Great little box with solid features and even better after-sales support.

No good didn't work

Great product, I now have a VPN setup so all my devices can connect from anywhere in the world. Great customer service from Bernard at GL.iNET when I emailed them for some clarification. Top stuff!!

I have two of these between two locations I need to access. One is setup just for allowing secure external access to the LAN and the other has both wire guard server and client to allow both incoming connections but it also allows me to run TV streaming devices connected via con to a UK home ip address to get iplayer outside of the UK. Highly recommended.

Petit et fonctionne bien une fois installé. Support bien et rapide

This works perfectly with Proton VPN - after well over 2 years - absolutely reliable, stable......perfect. Better than running a VPN off your router, this thing handles the hard work, requires zip maintenance, is low powered and ....just works.

Exceeds expectations

This thing has Very low power usage, and Excellent performance. It is a very advanced router, without WiFi. It uses 1-2 watts using it as a router. It's very easy to configure with many advanced features. The RAM and Flash memory are unusually large, so you can use it for a network that has a massive number of devices with all kinds of special rules for routing if you like, and it's solid. I looked for years for this kind of device. Finally I found it.

Mooi en degelijk product
