No VPN?
Router is a new RS100. I've been all over the Advanced set up page and cannot find where to set up a VPN. I'm just starting to dabble into this and would like the router for my VPN, for now. Any idea...

The bottom item under Services and Security:
Of course, not actually having an RS100, it is somewhat of a stretch to infer that the Product Data Sheet is accurate. Every Netgear WiFi router has had OpenVPN as part of the firmware for over a decade.

For reference, here are the menus straight from the router.
No reference to "setting up" a VPN, just that it supports it. So, I'm thinking I would need to use an add on VPN app/program. BTW - I'm on Linux Mint.
