VPN Availability
I find it unbelievable that this new, extremely expensive router is nuetered to only allow a single VPN provider (PureVPN) as an option. This limits my interest in this routerfor business and person...
Completely agree. I just paid $500 for this router and it's locked to s single VPN provider on the client side???

As per a previous reply in this thread from a bout 23 January 2019 https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/XR500-Custom-VPN/m-p/1694701/highlight... Custom VPN is available on all firmware (starting from about 2.3.2.40).
There is a guide DumaOS Optimal Settings Guide: Hybrid VPN - This guide will help you setup Hybrid VPN on your DumaOS... the ability to import virtually any typical VPN service provider OpenVPN configuration.
Hybrid VPN -> Set-up -> Advanced
Has anyone done this successfully yet,using a different VPN...????

Replaced a Linksys EA9200 AC 3200 Tri-Band that kept dropping devices,our phones or tablets ,requiring to resign on again,spent 3 hours with support could not get into router software,fianlly after 5 restarts of my pc,i was able to reset everything and it did the same thing within an hour. It was 6 mos old refurbished,supposedly by linksys.finally they agreed to give me my money back,not send a newer model,or exchange with cash for a newer model. but a an RMA for cash return..
This router took 10 minutes to setup,sign on all our device,printers,tablets,pc,laptop and phones,and tv's...no problems.at all
Why is this so rare?
They all should do thid no matter eho makes them,but appearently only Netgear knows how to do it correctly..... :smileyvery-happy:
Thanks Netgear...

Not sure which I was referring to back then but as I read it now,I was commenting on the use of the RAX40 compared to my previous router.i don't remember using VPN before ,may have posted in wrong board...would not be the first time..lol sorry guys..:)
