VPN's that function on router level usually (haven't found any that don't) require their own firmware/ddwrt on the router.
Some routers support it out of the box. But i havent seen any from netgear that do.
If you're planning on using a VPN, I'd recommend getting a router seperate from the modem. Otherwise the ISP controls the firmware and you can't install your own to it.
