Just tried to understand what for intentions and plans for a VPN are :
- what kind of VPN you have in mind,
- and your RAX120 does have public routeable IPv4 address assigned, to be reachable from the Internet

Users come often here with interesting ideas on what a VPN would be.
The fine Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream AX6000 WiFi Router Model RAX120 User Manual does have a comprehensive chapter, 10 Use OpenVPN to Access Your Network, with an intro section on VPN Connections your consumer router.
Difficult to provide a solution without an obvious (or less obvious) problem.
Start asking Google "What's my IP address", and compare if the result does match to the IP address you see on your RAX120 WAN/Internet connection details.
