BR500 - Subscription required for VPN?

To start off, your forum still does not allow me to select the BR500 as a "Model". It is not an option in the list.

 

I don't own this device. Does it require a paid subscription to be able to use the VPN services? Or can I manually configure it myself without paying for a subscription?

    Hello,

     

    Currently the BR500 supports OpenVPN and Insight Instant VPN. OpenVPN can be configured in the local GUI and does not require a subscription. Insight Instant VPN requires a VPN license that can be purchased through Insight and can allow up to 10 users per BR500 device to remotely connect and access resources on the BR500.
