Can't believe that the Netgear Nighthawk RAX200 does not have VPN client capability
Hi,
I recently purchased a Nighthawk RAX200 wi-fi router. One of the first things I wanted to try were it's VPN capabilites (with Mullvad in particular), but I was quite disappointed to learn that this router's VPN capabilities are limited to hosting a VPN server, as opposed to acting as a client for devices on my home network.
I really thought this feature would have been included what with it being Netgear's flagship Nighthawk.
Has anybody found a solution or a workaround for it yet? Or is there any scope for this feature to be addded in a future update?

I just gave Kudos to Avtella's "idea" on the idea exchange dashboard here (in the hope that Netgear will take note and do something about it!)
If anyone else is remotely interested in allowing the use of third party VPN clients on Nighthawk routers, I suggest you do the same.

Bought a week ago rax200 only found out after receiving that vpn client is not there!
I had ax12 rax120 and was there. Hope they risolve this on the next firmware update.

Same here!
I've been tempted to buy a different router and then just use the Nighthawk in Access Point mode, but I feel like I shouldn't have to.

hanged up now with the support, they will let me know in 24-48 hours whether this feature will be made on next firmware update or not, either way I do have one more week to deceide whether to keep it or not. finger crossed. I do love this model, for what we have paid... they should fix this problem as soon as possible.
