Yes I have tried to set up a VPN between 2 routers. However, the internet provider of at least two sites also provides the modem/router. I cannot set up a VPN on that router: it is not an available option.
That device also other services and the provider is not willing to share the necessary data to set all services up on devices that I would install. So, stuch with that provider for the moment for a few locations.
Thanks, maybe ZeroTier is a good solution at least untill I get the provider changed.
But since Netgear claims it is possible, hope to learn how to do it without ZeroTier as well.
Unless I learn more on the Netgear solution within the next days, I will try ZeroTier.

My ISP is Verizon Fios, and they also require that you use their router (otherwise you lose their TV services). What I do is double-route - putting a Netgear router behind the Quantum one, and running VPN on other services on that. Port forwarding is a bit more complicated, but I don't forward a lot of ports anyway.
