Hello, I have been trying to find a free open vpn that i can use to access my home network outside but also use vpn at home to protect the connection line. the router i have is a net-gear xr500 gam...
The VPN service and HybridVPN are different, the service will allow you to access remotely, HybridVPN with a suitable VPN subscription will provide that protection you mentioned.
I would recommend having a look at page 173 in the manual regarding the VPN service: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/XR500/XR500_UM_EN.pdf

ok thanks that worked for the setup on my android phone i was able to connect to the VPN and use my internet connection from 4g.. however how can i access my internal LAN computers ? from my phone , how do i access my PC's behind the netgear router what setting do i need to change or update DMZ ?
- I don't think that's anything on the router side, you'd need to setup Network Share I believe on a PC and then it might work but I don't think that is the main purpose of it so you might need to try a different solution
what is the main purpose ??
What about them exactly are you looking to access? Their files etc? If so then Fraser's above suggestion will work. The purpose is to access your home network securely from outside of it.
