XR500 Custom VPN?
How can I use my TorGuard VPN configuration on this router? I only see an option for HideMyAss.
Hi I just bought the etgear xr500 I saw in store that it was a vpn client and I thought thats cool I could really use that as I ussally just use a vpn app or openvpn. But I can't figure out how to choose a differnt VPN server than HideMyAss. No where on the box does it say HideMyAss vpn client. I would like to use this router in china and HideMyAss VPN I have heard doesnt work there. I use NordVPN how do I put that in the VPN client as my VPN server. Very disappointed that it did not say HideMyAss vpn client only on the box if there is no other way to use a differnt vpn. So I could make a more informed on the spot in store decision. As I was asking the store clerks and they were not sure cause it was a new product but told me it should work for me as new routers now have vpn options. :-(
Firmware Version V2.2.1.10
- You could go with a two router solution as others have mentioned or just return it and buy a router with OpenVPN that doesn’t require you to use their own paid VPN service. That’s what I did.
- Yea I returned it going to get a different router and going to research a router that fits my needs instead of an impulse buy. Im looking at the routers recommend by my vpn provider. Like flashed routers with the vpn provider.
- Sorry to hear your disappointment. Netduma's VPN solution will be coming and should allow more free choice of VPNs that can be used.
