Commercial licence · Device-bound · Offline verification

Every DNS record, under control.

router is a dynamic DNS control plane for self-hosted networks: 31 providers at home and abroad, 10 platform targets, one encrypted configuration, one console.

There is no free edition. Every installation needs a paid licence, bound to its device and activated offline.

Built for the long run

A control plane, done right.

From a home NAS to a multi-site data centre, router turns provider quirks into one dependable local service.

Domestic and overseas, one configuration

31 DNS providers behind one credential, record and sync model. No per-provider scripts to maintain.

Every runtime

Windows, Linux, macOS and multiple CPU architectures, native from x86 servers to ARM routers.

Secrets stay sealed

Provider keys and licence files are stored encrypted, masked in the UI, and never written to logs.

Activation, not surveillance

Device-bound codes are Ed25519-signed and verified locally. No heartbeat, no remote kill switch after activation.

Observable by default

Structured logs, runtime metrics and a live console make a failed sync easy to locate in seconds.

Runs on your network

One binary, one configuration file, no vendor control plane. Upgrades and backups stay in your hands.

Three steps

Buy, activate, take over DNS.

No trial period and no hidden online dependency. Once payment is confirmed, the code appears here, bound to your device.

    Submit your device code and pay

    Find the device code on the Licence page of the console or with router license device-code, choose a plan and place the order.

Each licence is bound to the device code submitted with it and cannot be shared across devices. Confirm the code on the target device first.

🔒 No card details are collected by this service; payment is confirmed by the payment channel or the licensing team.

Offline activation

Paste once. Never verify online again.

The code carries a signature, a lifetime validity and a single-device binding. The client checks it locally with its built-in public key; the licensing service is never contacted at runtime.

FAQ

Know this before you buy.

Still unsure? Contact us below before ordering. If you cannot find an answer, keep your order number and get in touch.

What do I get after purchase?
You get an RTR1 activation code bound to your device code, plus an order number. One payment covers lifetime use, and each activation code is bound to one device only. The client verifies it locally, with no permanent connection needed.
Is there a free or trial edition?
No. Every binary requires a purchased licence activated for its device; an unlicensed installation provides no DNS updates or web console and exits with status 3.
How do I find the device code?
Open the Licence page in the web console on the target device, or run router license device-code. It is derived from that installation's licence salt and hardware anchors and stays stable.
Can I move the licence to another device?
The code is valid only for the device code submitted with the order. It cannot be activated on, or moved to, a second device. For another device, buy a separate activation code for that device. Always confirm the code before ordering.
Which payment methods are available?
We accept Alipay, WeChat Pay and PayPal; PayPal is the simplest option for international buyers. After you create the order, the payment page shows the channel and instructions. Include the order number with your payment; once confirmed, this page receives the code. If it does not update, refresh or contact the licensing team.
I lost my order number. What now?
The order number is the only credential for fetching your code, so keep it like a receipt. Enter it under Find order at any time to reopen this page; we never republish order details publicly.
Does the code stop working if the network goes down?
No. Activation happens locally, and running the product requires no connection to the licensing service. A lifetime code has no expiry date, renewal or further charge.
