Add VPN Client Feature

Please add a VPN client feature on the RAX 200 so that customers can purchase a VPN service (i like express VPN) that would set up a tunnel between the router and the VPN provider.  This would secure all devices on the customers network.  Express VPN has created firmware for older Netgear models with the last one being the R7000 and it worked great.  I've been consdering replacing my RAX 200 with the Asus AX1100 for this one feature.  My freind has the Asus AX1100 and it works great on his router and even improves the download speeds.  I have Express VPN on one of my Amaxon FireTV Cubes and it is the fastest device on my network.  This feature would also be a great selling point for Netgear and make Netgear more competitive as other manufactorers already have this feature.  The current feature on the RAX 200 making the router the VPN server serves of little use to most customers versus being able to have the router serve as a VPN client and secure the entire network.  This also makes room for Netgear to develope their own VPN service and generate more revenue while pleasing their customers at the same time.  Win/win situation in my book and a lot of other Neatgear customers feel the same way.  Please consider this.  It's a pain installing VPN clients on each individual device when i could just install it on the router and protect all of my devices.
