    Correct - all your users share the same OpenVPN config (in TUN or TAP variant) use the same certificate, same user (admin!!) and password, and the same certificate. Big flaw...

    All you can do is to change the admin password, and re-distribute the OVPN config the the users again,and share the new password,

    You'll need to contact the VPN Mfr for this information.

      Not every VPN is a junk hide-my-ass or I-want-to-do-illegal-things or not-become-hurt-by-the-local-government. The OP does talk of the VPN service provided by the Orbi router (similar on all other Netgear consumer routers supporting a VPN server service).
