RAX120 VPN
Can the RAX120 work as a VPN endpoint? If so how do I cfg the device?

I have to use a new my.netgear.com account.

That's good.
Got any tips you'd like to share with anyone who might be in the same boat?
VPN questions come up here regularly. Any insights could be a great help.

What for and why? No new router product requires a new dedicated [My]Netgear account.

Complete nonsense - there is no [My]Netgear Account involved with the OpenVPN configuration. Even the DDNS (for name -> IPv4 address) does not run on the [My]Netgear account.

Great. Thanks for that.
It is surprising how many people miss that. My guess is that Netgear explains it badly.
