How to set up WireGuard® on Asus VPN Fusion

Updated:

In this article, you will learn how to set up a WireGuard® connection on VPN Fusion. VPN Fusion allows simultaneous connections to multiple VPN servers and device-specific VPN tunnel assignments. This feature provides broad network protection without the need for installing additional software and is available on some Asus router models as an update.

To set up WireGuard® on Asus VPN Fusion, you first need an active Surfshark subscription. You can find the available plans on Surfshark's pricing page.

Note: WireGuard® is supported by VPN Fusion firmware versions 3.0.0.4.388.20000 or later. For information on how to update your router's firmware, check out Asus' official website

We always recommend checking if Surfshark VPN is working after setting it up for the first time. You can easily do it by performing Surfshark IP leak test and a DNS leak test. For your convenience, both are available on our website.
