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.

It looks like the demand is there Netgear. Please add this functionnality.
Yes PLEASE! I was told this router could do openvpn client. It doesn't. If I had known I would have bought something else. I am VERY disappointed with netgear!!!!!
Yes, please. I want to point out that those of us who have defaulted to using an "edgerouter" such as Ubiquiti in front of the Orbi to effect a VPN client, lose much when switching the Orbi to passthrough mode: guest Lan, Netgear/Bitdefender, et al.
yeah.. i oso not so optimistic on this as well

Looks like this thread has been active for two years, with numerous requests for this feature. I'm not optimistic.
+1 For a VPN client. A router in this price range needs this feature.

VPN client on a router is a deal breaker and a must have feature. Hoping you can make this happen.
