Please implement the OpenVPN client in Orbi. I would like to use a VPN connection without having to configure a VPN client on every device. There are multiple devices that benefit from a VPN but do not have VPN capabilities themselves, such as game consoles (Xbox, Playstation) and smart tvs (e.g. Roku, LG webOS).
The OpenVPN client feature has been added to XR500 Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router and for PureVPN on Nighthawk X4S in R7800 Firmware Version 1.0.2.46. OpenVPN client support would be preferable, as I use a VPN that is not PureVPN. Please add the OpenVPN client support to Orbi too.

I would like to cast my vote to bump this
Yes I would like the ability to have the vpn client at the Orbi router. Like others I was lead to believe that Orbi supported vpn client but that believe was dashed after purchase. If you do not implement at least state no vpn client in your advertising. Thank you.

Please add this functionality. Very useful, should be standard
Definitely need this to happen for Orbi mesh system.
Anybody from Netgear here?
+1 to this. Add VPN client to Orbi to support OpenVPN / Nord etc. Very much expected this on a premium router
We'll put Boro76, should be a standard offering on a premium router. I selected the Netgear brand for its professional reputation, this being omitted is a surprising lapse of an expected feature.
Yes
+1 to implement a VPN Client.
As a remote worker, i need openvpn for my Ubuntu (18.04) Linux server and my MacOS (10.14.2) only, while most household traffic shouldn't be routed to VPN. In fact, the Mac should only be during work. Also only Internet, not local network traffic. When do you think we can expect this?
