Implement OpenVPN client for Orbi

I too think the behaviour of netgear - not responding to this topic at all - is not acceptable. The intention obviously is to keep alive the flame of hope. 

It is totally ok if Netgear decides not to delivery this feature and by not acting for years on this topic I guess it is fair to say THIS FEATURE WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED.

The learning is that one should NEVER buy a device from Netgear where a important feature is missing hoping it will be delivered afterwards. 

So please Netgeard officially comment on this request, which has been pending for such a long time now, and close this topic. 

rwats Annoyingly enough, when I contacted Netgear support directly, they directed me to comment a 'me too' to try to get this pulled into active business-decision consideration or dev effort.

You need to ask someone who gives a crap.  Requests posted here never receive a response from Netgear.  Over the years, people have been shouting into the wind with absolutely no response or action on this very important issue. 

Any chance to have VPN client features on the ORBI anytime soon?

I agree, a general OpenVPN client should be developped and implemented in Orbi systems. For the price, I think we bought a high-end router (not a basic one). It should have the common services available, and one of the most important of them is OpenVPN client.

Please Netgear, implement it, and do it a generic way (not just pureVPN, or another).

Thank you

I too purchased an RBK50 in part because it stated that it supports VPN.  This is a must for the Orbi system especially with the price point of the system! Please implement as soon as possible!

HELLO NETGEAR! Get off your a$$ and implement openvpn on orbi.

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.
