I'd like to see VPN Setting update in next firmware update that allows users to setup VPN with other VPN clients. While current instructions do allow for Smart DNS and shows how to create a VPN connection, it lacks today's needs. Having VPN support setting eliminates the need to run VPN on each device by allowing all connections to flow through router as one connection. Most services limit up to 3 connections at once. Having this support on my R8500 would totally eliminate the connections limit. Please consider supporting this with next firmware!

Goenham205 We do have OpenVPN support and there's no client limit. Can you please clarify your request?
AbhayBYes, you're correct, you do offer OpenVPN, which is totally different and useless as in my original post. While sure I could set one PC with an OpenVPN connection, my point is, just update your firmware for one to input any desired VPN configuration/server info as other competitors offer. You're simply behind when it comes to firmware offerings, let alone high-end router support but that's not the topic here. It's very simple, if you're understand; update firmware to support a VPN dashboard, just as you have in your current firmware for Parental Controls. That eliminates the need to use OpenVPN in its current dinosaur state. Obviously, others agree who understand VPN.
I'm not trying to sound like I'm attacking your response or comprehension on what I'm saying. It's merely a straightforward suggestion that would be a welcome to the Netgear Community who stands by your brand.
