VPN Server Tunnel

ORBI RBK30 AC2200

Can this Orbi router function as a VPN server at home?

If so, can anyone please guide as how to achieve this functionality?

 

Thanks

    Sorry. The question is ambiguous.

     

    Netgear provides an OpenVPN 'Host" capability in the Orbi product line, which allows remote devices to access the Orbi LAN through the internet.  It does not provide OpenVPN 'Client' capability, which creates the ability for all devices inside the Orbi LAN to access the internet through a VPN tunnel.
