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.

any latest update for it over the vpn client on this product? please
Kind of odd that that was already take into consideration nearly a year ago. I Orbi really going towards end of life already?
+1 to implement this feature
Please implement the OpenVPN client in Orbi. I need the client vpn on orbi for a vpn connect with vps server.
Than you
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?
+1 to implement a VPN Client.
Yes
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.
+1 to this. Add VPN client to Orbi to support OpenVPN / Nord etc. Very much expected this on a premium router
Anybody from Netgear here?
Definitely need this to happen for Orbi mesh system.
