VPN - Nighthawk m6 pro
Hello , iim looking for someone advice on adding open VPN on the nighthawk m6 pro . Is it possible? If not is it possible to add any vpn to the device Thanks.
usually adding a vpn to a router requires 3rd party firmware to be installed and 3rd party firmware is rare (to non-existent) on hotspots.
some travel routers (not hotspots) support them but usually you have to connected the hotspot to them.
I use a gl.inet travel router and have a vpn installed on it. You could do something like that and use the M6 as just a mobile modem and the gl.inet as the router.
Hi thanks for the reply, I do have a vpn paid subscription but I’m not sure how to add it to the nighthawk m6 pro or if it’s possible to add a vpn , normally you can add a open vpn file but I don’t see anything in settings, I did look on YouTube but found nothing about adding a vpn to the m6 pro .
To add it to most routers/hotspots, it has to be compatible.
What VPN do you pay for?
It might not be possible to install it to the M6 but just installing it to the devices you connect
- I use NordVPN and I also have ip vanish.. I just thought for the price of the m6 pro it would have the ability to add a vpn.
