BretD What's going on, 3 months since opening this thread and no update. Plus a year since people were reporting issues in other threads, this really isnt acceptable for a business product.

Rob,
We understand your frustration and still awaiting an update on an updated development build for the macOS VPN client. Once we do have a build for testing I will forward you the client under the support case that you currently have opened.

Approaching another month and no update from Netgear. Where do I get my refund for this defective solution?

I'm raising this case with Trading Standards in the UK to get a holt on the sale of this product. It doesn't work and there's no visible progress on a fix.

A rebuild of the MacOS VPN client is in the works. Once there is more details I will provide more information on this community post.
Hi,
Not sure if this helps, but if the screen is down and the computer connected to an external monitor the Insight VPN Client runs fine.
I've seen this on someone else's software in the past possibly Enfocus Pitstop.
Cheers

Please can we get IPSec client VPN tunnels supported on this router so I can use native MacOS VPN support and remove the issue of the broken Insight VPN Client Software?

IPSec is available on BR500 Business Router.

That's Site to Site VPN, not Client to Site.
