So, I would strongly recommend switching Intercom & Google Analytics off in the general settings (you may get asked during the setup but I can’t remember now).
Intercom is particularly concerning as it passes over the email address of the logged-in user. However, if you are buying a VPN router, I would have thought the privacy benefits are one of the factors that took you down this route. It is worth noting that Vilfo has two forms of analytics built into their router, this is not particularly a rare thing many devices provide analytical data back to a company (my Netgear Insight cloud-managed devices pingback to Netgear every minute or so). It’s not a huge issue for me personally, but you definitely need to secure or disable the WiFi. The WiFi is open by default, and the web interface lacks any option for an SSL. The initial set up can be done via WiFi or Ethernet. It is extremely user friendly, possibly easier than most mainstream consumer routers I have used and orders of magnitude easier than setting up pfSense/OPNsense

The highlight of this router is the OVPNbox software that it is based on OpenWRT. You are already forking out $500 for a router, so you may as well buy a mesh system or even just a decent access point (the new Ubiquiti WiFi 6 is just £100). I would strongly advise that you don’t buy this specifically for its WiFi functionality, unless you have very basic requirements.
The internals of this router are basically a mini PC, so while you have far more functionality and a much more powerful CPU, the WiFi card inside is the Mediatek MT7612U only capable of connecting to one frequency at a time. I separated the WiFi spec off because it is important to point out that the radio in this is only capable of handling one frequency at a time.

I have set this up so that Kodi works with VPN while other devices such as the PS5 and may gaming PC don't, allowing me to keep ping times down. It is a clever solution you can easily have your streaming devices located in the US to make the most of US streaming services while keeping your main PC/laptop on a local server for improved speeds but maintaining privacy. You have the option to group devices connecting them all to the same VPN you can bypass specific devices and the built-in VPN providers will list all the different end point options allowing you to connect to any location in the world. The Vilfo offers an extremely user-friendly way of managing your network and more specifically, which devices connect to which VPN. The new OVPNbox software (which is what the Vilfo VPN Router uses) is now based on OpenWrt/LEDE They later found that pfSense didn’t quite suit their needs and migrated away from it. Originally things started with the development of OVPNbox, which was a router based on pfSense. Vilfo is an offshoot from OVPN, started by them, but independent from them.

The Vilfo VPN Router is designed to allow you to take full control of your network, circumvent geo-blocking & browse safely online. A significant drop in throughput speeds vs Windows/Android app.
