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.

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.
