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...
Dummy001 Thanks for posting the RS100 menu. Absolutely amazing... as in "what the f**k?"
Back to the original question.... Netgear routers do NOT provide a "VPN Client" capability where all devices on the LAN are routed through a VPN connection.
Users appear to have three choices:
- Subscribe to a VPN service and install the client software on primary devices, such as computers, laptops, smartphones, etc.
- Purchase a VPN Client device, such as the Brume 2 (about $80 on Amazon).
- Install a VPN Client on a computer on the LAN. (I have WireGuard installed on a Raspberry Pi.)
Caveat: I, personally, eschew VPN and prefer to let "Big Brother" snoop on my transactions.
