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.

Hi Jeff
Thanks for the reply. The question was regarding a vpn client for the r9000 router. Netgear has confirmed that the R9000 does not and never will have any vpn client available from netgear. The only choices are Voxel firmware or DD-WRT firmware. Which if you install cancellation of your warranty from netgear is the result
Netgear has made it very clear . New models have been released so it appears that the R9000 is yesterday’s hero -:)
