Tailscale, Wireguard, and AdGuard- Built for Secure Connectivity
GL-iNet routers come with built-in VPN and privacy tools right out of the box, which is one of their biggest advantages. This tradition continues with the Flint 3:
- Tailscale: Creates a secure mesh network across your devices with zero configuration.
- Wireguard: A fast, modern VPN tunnel built into the kernel that is faster and safer than traditional VPNs.
- AdGuard Home: Blocks ads and trackers directly from your router, increasing privacy and speed.
Combined with OpenVPN, TOR, and free DDNS, the Flint 3 router is a powerful security and privacy solution.
Docker Support & Advanced Developer Tools
The Flint 3 is more than a router for tech-savvy users – especially PHP, Linux, and web developers in Bangladesh. It supports Docker and offers 8GB of internal storage, enabling users to:
- Install applications on your own servers (e.g., WordPress, Node.js, PHP servers)
- Test APIs in development environments
- Host local Git repositories or LAMP/LEMP stacks
Combined with OpenWRT package ecosystem, the Flint 3 transforms into a mini home server or development lab.
OpenWRT – The Heart of Flint 3
What makes the Flint series unique is the customized yet fully upgradeable OpenWRT firmware. While it ships with a redesigned UI for ease of use, advanced users can flash the stock OpenWRT version directly from the update panel — no hacks or tools required.
Why OpenWRT?
- It’s open source and community driven.
- It allows advanced firewall settings, bandwidth shaping, and scripting.
- Developers can install PHP, uHTTPd, and even MariaDB for local hosting.
For Bangladeshi tech startups, freelance developers, or IT admins managing multiple subnets or VPN tunnels, Flint 3 offers enterprise-grade functionality without the enterprise price.
