Enterprise-grade Security with Deep Packet Inspection

Leverage Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to automatically filter malicious traffic, gambling sites, and malware, ensuring a secure network environment. Beyond automatic filtering, you gain granular control to manually block specific apps, domains, or IPs. With a continuously updated security database, Brume 3 stays ahead of emerging threats.

Brume 3's DPI-based Protection for safe browsing

Eliminate Bufferbloat with Smart Queue Management

Enjoy faster, smoother connections. Brume 3 features built-in Smart Queue Management (SQM) designed to combat bufferbloat. Once enabled, it keeps network latency minimal even when the line is saturated. Whether for video calls or streaming, SQM optimizes the traffic queue for every device on your LAN, ensuring a responsive connection during heavy usage.

Brume 3's SQM for Low-Latency Networking

Dynamic QoS for Application Prioritization

When bandwidth is scarce, Brume 3 knows what matters most. Dynamic QoS intelligently allocates resources, ensuring critical tasks like video conferencing and online gaming remain smooth while background downloads take a back seat. It balances traffic on the fly to maximize responsiveness across the board.

Brume 3's Dynamic QoS for Smooth Performance

Stealth VPN Obfuscation

Brume 3 incorporates advanced VPN obfuscation technology to conceal the telltale signatures of VPN traffic, enabling it to evade detection by DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) systems. Traditional VPNs can bypass basic firewalls, but are easily blocked by DPI-based censorship systems. Obfuscated VPNs, however, work even on advanced firewalls that block standard VPN traffic. By effectively hiding the fact that you are even using a VPN, it reduces the risk of being flagged, throttled, or blocked, resulting in a more stable and reliable connection. This makes it ideal for bypassing strict regional controls or for anyone seeking enhanced privacy and consistent, uninterrupted access.

Wired Connectivity Excellence

Brume 3 delivers fast, flexible, and reliable wired performance to support every network setup.

2.5 Gbps WAN Port

2 x 2.5Gbps LAN Ports

Smart 2.5G Port Flexibility

Brume 3 comes with three versatile 2.5G Ethernet ports, giving you a fast and flexible foundation for any wired setup. The dedicated WAN port delivers full 2.5G performance and can also be reassigned as a LAN port, while LAN1 and LAN2 each support full 2.5G speeds as well, allowing you to tailor your network exactly the way you need it.

Whether you're optimizing for speed, expanding your wired devices, or setting up a secure home gateway, Brume 3 keeps everything running smoothly and efficiently.

LAN1 can be switched to WAN.

USB 3.0 Port

Multi-WAN Failover & Load Balancing

Brume 3 lets you convert LAN1 into a second WAN port, enabling a robust dual-ISP setup with automatic failover to ensure your internet is always on. Intelligent load balancing across multiple links ensures seamless, reliable performance for NAS devices, media servers, and other high-bandwidth equipment in your home or small office.

Flexible 5V/3A Input for High Performance

Brume 3 is built with a dedicated Type-C power port requiring a 5V/3A power input, ensuring a stable performance for its high-speed features like up to 1,100 Mbps VPN speed and Multi-WAN. It offers maximum convenience by allowing the use of standard PD adapters for powering, simplifying your setup and ensuring robust network availability.

USB 3.0 Type-C for Easy Peripheral Connections

Versatile USB-C 3.0 Expansion

Brume 3 features a secondary Type-C port on the right side of the network ports, serving as a high-speed USB 3.0 data interface. This multi-purpose port supports 3G/4G/5G dongles for cellular backup and external drives for rapid data access. By delivering a 5V/2A power output to connected peripherals, it seamlessly enables a wide range of expanded functionality.

Build Brume 3 Your Way

Reviews

Great small device!

"I’m using the router only as a load balancing tool. It works great using one 700MBs and other 600 MBs. The device looks great with a small site but very powerful."

— Dalton I. (5/5)

Awesome!! Worth every penny!!

"This thing is fantastic. So small and descrete with high speeds for everything. I use wireguard from my phone and work, and this thing makes it super easy to setup. Plus, if you're more 'techy' you can also go into the openwrt interface for more advanced setting!! Great buy, great value."

— MICHAEL I. (5/5)

Happy fan

"I had Brume 2 and I used it for several years. I used it as a home router with wireguard server. I had no single failure with it. When I found Brume 3 was out, I bought it and replaced the old unit - not because it was doing something bad, just wanted a newer device. I use Wireguard client and server and I so far zero issues."

— Petar Y. (5/5)

Reliable, High Speed VPN

"The Brume 3 was just what we needed to improve our workflow. It was very easy to setup and performs perfectly. We now are able to access our NAS remotely and upload/download large files at high speed."

— Philip G. (5/5)

VPN Speed!

"I specifically got this because I wanted to upgrade my home vpn connection from old router openvpn with 30mbs connection speed. Upon setting up as primary router and wireguard client i can get the full 5-600mbs connection speed through my vpn. I've been remote gaming through my pc and this connection speed is absolutely ideal! Love its compact form factor and powerful speed. Extremely happy and looking to upgrade my isp speed to allow even better connections. The multi wan feature is definitely interesting and I would definitely be using it provided i had multiple isp. Extremely happy with everything as my first purchase and will surely be back for more!"

— Michael M. (5/5)

Very reliable and complete product for small labs or advanced home use

"The product employs OpenWrt, a well-documented and supported open source product. I was able to deploy WireGuard and Zerotier without incident. I was also able to configure multiple Wan connections to the Internet. There is a vast number of small optional network plugins available for the product. It is a great learning experience."

— Finn N. (5/5)

Size and form factor are

"Size and form factor are great for my use in my portable mini server that I use everyday. Also shipping was great!"

— Nathaniel V. (5/5)

Excellent speed throughput for wireguard

"Excellent speed throughput for wireguard in a form factor that is compact in size."

— Stefan H. (5/5)

"Very prompt shipping and delivery. The Brume 3 is already hard at work securing my network, with me considering a second one already"

— Ethan (5/5)

Setting up the router

"So far I like the new Brume 3. I am using it for the home router. I'd like better instructions on setting it up and how to implement VLANs to better secure and control network traffic."

— Anthony T. (5/5)
