R7000

I've recently dug out my old Netgear R7000 as I'm wanting to use it for vpn among other features. For one I'm not sure how to set it up correctly. I've recently had fiber Internet installed into my home where I now I have a different router set up from the last one. The model of my router is a 'technicolor DGA4134NLK'

    Are you planning on installing your own 3rd party vpn firmware to it? 

    If so, you'd want to ask on their forums exactly how it needs to be setup to work with your setup. 

    Or what vpn do you plan on using? (benefit to the r7000 is it takes quite a few different 3rd party firmwares)

    There has been quite a lot of chat about VPNs on the R7000 in recent months:

    Not something people here are likely to know about.
