Nighthawk R7300 openVPN Client setup

Is it possible to setup the R7300 as a VPN Client and have it connect to my VPN server?

  • To my knowledge, no Nighthawk Genie based router does have the UI to configure one or multiple VPN connection.

     

    We're in the decade of security, privacy, and P2P prohibition ... VPN Services are becoming very popular, and people want to link up multiple sites with Nighthawk routers - because the very good Nighthawk WiFi, deploying el cheepo SOHO/SMB routers which are always behind is not an option. And Netgear has ceased from this market years ago already. 

     

    Seriously, Netgear?
