VPN from xr700 to other nighthawk routers
I have a XR700 router in one house and a Nighthawk X6 elsewhere.
The X6 supports being a VPN server.
The XR700 supports being a VPN client and server.
I would like to use the VPN client functionality of the XR700 to connect to the VPN server running on the X6. Is there an easy way to do this?
I note that the XR700 accepts openvpn config files, but requires everything to be in one file. I note that the X6 generates openvpn files but puts the keys in separate files to the rest of the config. Do I need to merge these together somehow?

- I've not tried this but in theory it could work, yes you would have to merge them so it would be something like this:
client.conf file contents here
<ca>
contents of the ca.crt here
</ca>
Try it with that, if that doesn't work add this on the end and try again:
<key>
contents of client.key here
</key>Thanks, that works.
Feature request: I'd prefer to be able to do this without having to manually edit the files. Could the dumaos accept the zip file which contains all three files in future?
- Great to hear that and good idea, I will suggest it to the team.
