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.

Thanks in advance

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...
