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...
Sorry of this is stupid question, but after reading the user guide it appears that the RAX 120/200 routers stil require open vpn to be configured on Mac or Windows PC etc,
Is there a VPN client that will connect to the VPN provider and not require any VPN configuration on the LAN devices . EG Open VPN client configured and running on the router NOT the PC etc
- You mean like a third party OpenVPN profile for the likes of Nord, Express etc?
- If you want Support for third party OpenVPN profiles you may need to buy an Asus router as Netgear does not support that, except some that only allow you to use PureVPN, but it’s terrible inconsistent and I’d not recommend it.
I had a suggestion in the Suggestions forum section asking for third party VPN support you can vote on that. - Hi no I am not asking netgear to support the vpn providers , NordVPN, etc.
What I am asking is if the firmware includes the vpn client application that we can configure to use NordVPN or ExpressVPN, TorGuard etc. Linksys, ASUS, D-link, Tp-link to name a few all providers vpn client capability , on all there high performance ( top price) product.Thats exactly what I meant by "third party VPN profiles", theres no way to import configurations from any VPN providers like in Asus routers. The R7800 7 RAX120 allow VPN client ability but only support Pure VPN and don't allow importing configuration files for other VPN providers.
