CAX80 and VPN
Just installed this new CAX80 cable modem/router. A VPN can be installed and I contacted Express VPN and they said they have not tested their product with this new modem. So their only answer to me...

ExpressVPN actually installs 3rd party firmware to routers for support of their vpns. (they also have device specific vpns)
Modem/router combo devices have their firmware locked so you can't put 3rd party firmware on them.
So it isn't going to work.
You can install expressvpn to your devices to use it. Just not to the router
