Many Netgear routers support both http and https versions of the web management interface. Many modern versions of web browsers have a setting to automatically convert web addresses into https, which can cause this problem.

Yeah, I know. But I checked the manual before I made that reply.
The manual doesn't say anything about https, and the remote management section specifically says http.
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, enter a
custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose a number from 1024 to 65535,
but do not use the number of any common service port.The default is 8080, which is a common alternate
for HTTP
Using http for remote management is IMO a bad idea. But the "solution" here might well be to use the VPN and put http:// in the address bar of these browsers.
Or of course try voxel.
