VPN Router
TX-101 is a pocket-sized Wi-Fi router with a built-in SoftEther VPN client. Connect it between your broadband and your IP PBX, and SIP trunk calls reach the exchange through an encrypted tunnel.
Secure SIP Trunk over the Internet
SoftEther VPN
A secure link, in the palm of your hand.
Calls and data sent over the open internet need protection. TX-101 builds that protection into a 40 grams router, so there is no PC or software to keep running at the site.
SoftEther VPN built in
The router runs the SoftEther VPN client itself and keeps an encrypted tunnel open to your VPN server.
Easy set-up screens
A customised web interface sets up WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi. No command line, no extra software.
Any internet source
Connect over Ethernet, as a Wi-Fi repeater, through a USB modem, or by tethering a phone.
Runs off a power bank
Power it from the adapter, or with the supplied cable from a laptop or power bank charger.
How it works
TX-101 sits between your broadband connection and your IP PBX. Everything that passes through it travels inside the VPN tunnel.
Connect to broadband
Plug the fibre ONU or modem into the TX-101 WAN port, or use Wi-Fi, a USB modem or a tethered phone.
Tunnel to the VPN server
TX-101 logs in to the SoftEther VPN server, for example at the exchange, and opens an encrypted tunnel.
Connect the IP PBX
Plug the IP PBX into the LAN port. Its SIP trunk now runs through the tunnel to the exchange.
A PC elsewhere can join the same VPN using the SoftEther VPN client software.

Four ways to get online
Use whichever internet connection the site has. The VPN tunnel works the same over all of them.
Ethernet
Cable from the fibre ONU, broadband modem or office network into the WAN port.
Repeater
Join an existing Wi-Fi network and share it on the LAN port and TX-101's own Wi-Fi.
USB modem
Plug a mobile data modem into the USB 2.0 port where there is no wired line.
Tethering
Use a mobile phone's data connection as the internet source.
System features
Small enough to carry in a pocket, with the memory to run a full VPN client.
The micro USB power port means TX-101 runs wherever there is a USB charger: the supplied adapter, a laptop or a power bank.
