How to set up Surfshark VPN on a Sabai router

Updated:

In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure the Surfshark VPN tunnel on your Sabai router.

You will learn how to:

 

To proceed, you will need a router with Sabai firmware and an active Surfshark subscription, which you can purchase on our pricing page.

 

 

Find your login details

Surfshark service credentials are different from your Surfshark account credentials, namely your email address and your password. You’ll need Surfshark service credentials to connect to the VPN using the manual OpenVPN configuration method explained below.

Here is how you can get your Surfshark service credentials:

  1. Go to this page, where you will find all of the details required for a manual connection.

    You may need to log in before proceeding to this page. In that case, enter your email address and your password, then click Log in.

  2. Click on the Credentials tab at the top. You will find the Surfshark service credentials here.



    It's a good idea to keep this page open for now. You will need these credentials a bit later.

 

 

Choose a Surfshark server

Every server (location) has a configuration file that you will need to connect to the VPN. You can download all of the configuration files from our website.

  1. Go to this page. It’s the same page where the Surfshark service credentials are stored.

  2. Select the Locations tab, where you will see all of the Surfshark servers. 



  3. You will need an OpenVPN configuration file for the location of your choice. For example, if you wish to connect to Germany, download Germany - Berlin or Germany - Nuernberg server by clicking on the location and then on UDP to download the configuration file. 

     

 

 

Configure the OpenVPN client

 

  1. Open your Sabai router by entering its IP address in the URL bar of your browser.

Make sure your connection was successful

 

It's always recommended to check whether your connection was successful after setting up a VPN for the first time. This can be easily done by doing an IP leak test and a DNS leak test which is available on our website. Click here to find out how to make sure your connection was successful.

 

Congratulations - you have successfully installed and configured Surfshark VPN on your Sabai router! As long as you’re connected, your location is private, and your sensitive data is secure.
