How do I deploy a VPN to my home network?
Good Morning Netgear Community
I am setting up a VPN for the first time on my home network. I have a question about deploying the VPN service to other devices on my network.
Can I setup Open VPN on just the router? I was hoping I didn't have to install / setup on each one of my devices (laptop pc etc)
Yes you need to configure your router to run VPN on any device. Here's a simple guide for you https://www.purevpn.com/router-vpn.php

The help menu pulldown in the router suggest (to me anyway) it's required on any device which will be used to remote in not each device on the local LAN.
