Greetings,
I am not so networking advanced. I am connected to the internet through a cable router(tv cable
/ coaxial). Router: Netgear C6250EMR
2 questions please:
1. I would like to set the vpn directly on the main primary cable router, if this is really not possible the bridge mode would be the last option.
Do you consider it could be possible if I will contact my ISP, they could help me with one of the next 2 options?
a) Modify at least for me(or for all their routers) the firmware of the actual router so it will appear in it's menu the option to set the vpn directly on it by openvpn protocol or IKEv2/IPsec ?
b) If first option is not possible, it would be possible after I will buy a cable router which support other freeware firmwares, they will tell me what lines to be added/changed/removed in the freeware firmware in order to work directly connected to their network?
2. If non of the above from point 1 is not possible, could I download the actual firmware from my router and look into it and try to config the firmware of another cable router which has the vpn feature, in order to use the new router directly connected to the internet?
Regards.

I would like the bridge mode, DMZ, double NAT to be the last solutions please...
Tell me please, it would be technically possible that the ISP will give me the settings to modify the open-source firmware of the CABLE ROUTER which I will buy for supporting open-source firmware, in order to work directly connected to their network?
It would be technically possible that the ISP to ask the vendor of their routers to provide them some CABLE ROUTERS which also has OpenVPN feature?
Could the ISP ask the manufacturer of Netgear C6250EMR firmware to change the actual firmware of the router and add the OpenVPN feature?
Thank you.
