This tutorial will show you how to set up ExpressVPN on your Sabai router using the OpenVPN protocol. Before you start, you will need:

Not all ExpressVPN locations may be available for manually configured connections.

Important: The OpenVPN manual configuration does not offer the same security and privacy benefits as the ExpressVPN app. If your router does not support AES-NI (e.g., Asus RT-AC86U), you may experience occasional speed issues while using the OpenVPN manual configuration. If you are located in a country with a high level of internet censorship, you are recommended to use the ExpressVPN app for a more stable VPN connection.

For Username/Password, paste the OpenVPN username and password you found earlier. Select Done > Save.

Select “Save.”

Select Start.

Select “Start.”

It will take a while for your Sabai router to set up the VPN connection. Once you are connected to the VPN, you will see “VPN is up via OpenVPN” and the VPN’s IP address in the top-right corner of the screen.
