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.

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for suggesting the idea of implementing OpenVPN to Orbi. This idea will be reviewed for consideration. :]

- Yes! I used to use the OpenVPN client on my Asus router all the time, and then I moved into a larger house and decided to go with the Orbi... I was disappointed that it didn't have an OpenVPN client capability already, given its price point. Make it happen!
