VPNs come in different shapes and sizes.

 

The best way to find a compatible router is to decide which of the dozens of VPNs are out there that you favour and to ask the people who supply it which routers work for its service.

 

Some VPNs need custom firmware, something that Netgear cannot support on the grounds that it doesn't know how the firmware works, and doesn't get paid to study it.
