Is there a guide/tutorial on how to set this up with a ERL3? Or is there a different router that is easier to set this up with?
It appears that the goal is to force the outgoing internet traffic from specific devices on the LAN (identified by their IP address) through a VPN. None of Netgear's routers feature any sort of Client VPN capability, let alone one that also includes the ability to filter specific IPs.
Instructions on how to deploy a Ubiquiti Edge Router Lite 3 for this purpose will have to come from Ubiquiti. There may be Netgear customers who also own Ubiquiti routers, but the chances of them following these forums is not great.
