How to set up IPHush on TP-Link
1 · Before you start
- Save a backup of the router’s settings
Advanced → System → Backup & Restore → Backup
- Keep a way back in
Keep a cable to the router and its admin password at hand while you change it.
2 · Your file
- Make the file for your router
Sign in at iphush.com/app, open Devices, add a Router and choose TP-Link. The app makes IPHush.conf for your router and shows this guide with your own values filled in.
3 · Add the tunnel
- Add the server
Advanced → VPN Client → Server List → Add → VPN Type: WireGuard → Description: IPHush → Import the configuration file → IPHush.conf → Save
TP-Link’s import takes basic parameters only, so this file has no IPv6 address and no MTU line (TP-Link asks to remove them).
- Enable it
Advanced → VPN Client → VPN Client: on → Server List → IPHush: enable
- See the handshake
The Server List shows IPHush as connected.
4 · Choose who uses it
One device
Only the devices you choose use IPHush; the others keep your normal connection.
- Choose the devices
- IPv6: no leak
The whole network
Every device on the network uses IPHush. The order matters: the router must reach the IPHush server outside the tunnel before the default route moves into it.
- Keep the IPHush server on your normal connection
- Default route through IPHush · Advanced → VPN Client → VPN Access → Add every device
- DNS through IPHush · Advanced → Network → Internet → Advanced → DNS Address: Use the following DNS addresses → 10.96.0.1
- IPv6: no leak · Advanced → IPv6 → Internet: off
- Kill switch
5 · Check it works
- The tunnel is up
The Server List shows IPHush as connected.
- Check from a device
On a device that should use IPHush, open https://whoami.iphush.com/ in a browser. It must show "iphush": true and an IPHush address. A device outside the option you chose shows false: that is expected.
TP-Link VPN: questions
Which TP-Link firmware works with IPHush?
Archer routers with WireGuard in VPN Client.
Can the whole home go through IPHush on TP-Link?
Every device on the network uses IPHush. The order matters: the router must reach the IPHush server outside the tunnel before the default route moves into it.
Is there a kill switch on TP-Link?
TP-Link’s VPN Client has no kill switch option: devices fall back to your normal connection while IPHush is down.
Which plan includes a router?
Family and Pro each include 1 router, and the router counts as one connection: every device behind it is protected. On Pro it leaves from your dedicated IP.
Has IPHush tested these steps on TP-Link?
The steps follow the vendor’s current documentation; we have not yet run them on this router in our lab, and the guide in your account says so. Menu names can differ slightly between firmware versions.
