Custom Install FAQ’s
Will my self hosted box come shipped pre-setup with my reverse proxy service?
Yes, all PrivateRouter boxes come shipped pre-configured with your proxy, domain option, and SSL certificate. Simply plug the provided LAN cable into a router and power it on to access.
Do I have to use your reverse proxy service with my device?
No, you don’t have to use our self hosted web boxes with a reverse proxy and domain name although most apps work best with this configuration. Specify “local hosting” on checkout and we will ship the device with a .local domain that works only when connected to your private network.
I already have a DIY web server, can I use PrivateRouter's reverse proxy service?
Yes, tech savvy users who already have a self hosted web server onsite can still take advantage of our reverse proxy service. To install our proxy on an existing box purchase the reverse proxy subscription service and follow the setup instructions. PrivateRouter’s proxy is compatible with any Linux system and is easily deployed with our docker app.
How long does shipping take if I choose custom installation?
All standard orders are processed and shipped within 24 hrs, however a custom installation request can add 24-48 hours to shipping time while our team pre-configures the box per your specifications.
If a web app stops working will you support it?
All self hosted web servers purchased from PrivateRouter come with 24/7 support. If something breaks, or an app auto updates and stops working, our team will assist to get you back up and running as soon as possible.
