Night Hawk RAX50 NordVPN / OpenVPN Ready
Hi All,
Just as the subject says, is the Night Hawk RAX50 NordVPN / OpenVPN Ready?
One more question, having the RAX50, would upgrading to a Wi-Fi 7 Router gain me any benefit?
Thank you,
FrankCLT

RAX series routers only pass thru VPN traffic.
Something to ask those VPN providers.
If you have Wifi7 supporting devices, then maybe yes.

Have you asked NordVPN? It should have a list of devices that work.
NordVPN lets you use the Internet while hiding your presence and what you are up to.
OpenVPN has a different role. It is there "to remotely access your router using virtual private networking".
