Nighthawk M2
Can I install a vpn on the M2?
I don't think it has that capability to "install" it to.
If you're traveling that much, I'd check into something like gl.iNet's offerings.
You could even go M2-->gl.iNet--->devices (m2 in passthrough mode)

Is that the MR2100?
What do you have in mind for what you want to do?
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look for the model number on the label on the device.The MR2100 manual says nothing about adding a VPN. (Most Netgear manuals will at least tell you how to install OpenVPN if they support it.)
In any case, not all VPNs are equal. A good place to start is the VPN maker you have in mind.
Just another user with time on their hands.

I am looking to purchase a mobile router for when I am travelling but I want to use a vpn on it. The M2 is an expensive mobile router but I have Orbi mesh systems and I like their support. I just need to know if I can install a VPN on it as I go to Turkey regularly and they block lots of sites.
