Hi, I just bought orbi last week thinking that it might already have this feature. I did see the vpn service while doing my research, didn't realize that its for server setup only. I prefered this router over google mesh wifi just because of it. Its a deal breaker for me, please implement this feature as soon as possible.

 

We would require something like this:

 

  1. A generic openvpn client like they have in DD-WRT based routers
  2. Optionally, an implementation of HMA, purevpn or other vpn clients

Though, a generic one is preferred so that you dont have to maintain all these vpn service provider changes and keep on updating firmware because of it.
