Throughwire router setup
Set up Throughwire once on a supported router and the whole office or home is covered. Every laptop, phone, tablet, smart TV, conference camera and printer that joins the WiFi gets the right route automatically. Local Chinese services stay on the local connection, while international services use Throughwire. No app on each device, no logins to hand out, nothing for your team to manage.
Chinese apps and websites use your normal local internet route, so they stay fast and compatible. International apps and websites use Throughwire. The router decides for every connection automatically.
The router does the work once, at the door, so every device behind it is protected without touching any of them.
Three steps. No reflashing, no firmware surgery, no per-device configuration. If you can copy and paste one line, you can do it.
We recommend the GL.iNet Flint 2, a fast, well-supported router that needs no modification. Order it from GL.iNet, or for the quickest delivery inside China from JD.com, Tmall or Pinduoduo. Plug it into your office line and power it on.
From any laptop that is already online, paste a single command we give you on your account page. It sets the router up, turns on China-direct split routing and tests itself, in around a minute. Nothing to configure by hand.
Point the office WiFi at the new router and you are done. Every device that joins uses the same automatic routing: local Chinese services stay local and international services take the premium lane, with no app to open.
Reference setup
Throughwire’s router setup runs once on a supported GL.iNet router, so every device on the office WiFi or LAN uses the same managed China route. Domestic China traffic stays local with China-direct split routing, while blocked international traffic goes through VLESS-Reality over sing-box on China Telecom’s CN2 GIA premium lane. Teams use it when an office needs one managed route instead of VPN apps on every laptop, phone and conference device.
Two things make the router worth it: it covers everything, and it stays fast without burning your data on traffic that never needed to leave the country.
Phones, laptops, TVs, cameras, printers, guests.
Anything that joins the WiFi is routed, with no app and no per-seat login. The devices that cannot run a VPN on their own, like conference systems and printers, are finally covered too. One box protects the whole network.
Local stays local. Only what needs the tunnel takes it.
Domestic sites resolve and load directly, at full local speed, while international services are sent down the CN2 GIA premium lane. It runs on VLESS-Reality over sing-box, the same engine as our apps, so the tunnel looks like ordinary HTTPS and holds at peak hours.
A whole-office router for China normally means flashing OpenWrt, wiring up Shadowrocket or passwall, hand-writing routing rules and debugging DNS leaks for an afternoon. With Throughwire it is one command on your laptop and about a minute. We do the hard engineering once so your team never has to.
Because one setup covers everyone. There is no app to install, no password to share and nothing for each person to troubleshoot. New hires and visitors just join the WiFi. The hardware that cannot run a VPN, like conference cameras and printers, is protected for the first time. Your IT lead manages a single box instead of fifty laptops, and every device gets the same routing policy that keeps local apps local and a 9 p.m. international video call on the premium lane.
Put the whole office on the fast lane. Team and Enterprise add managed support for business deployments.
