VPN on R7800

VPN on R7800

I would like to install VPN on my R7800 router to protect all gadgets in my network when they access the internet.

Therefore I have the following questions:

  1. Does this modem have a VPN built in?
  2. What sofware does my modem need to accommodate VPN software?
  3. The vendor of my VPN software advises me to install Tomato as Firmware first. I just learned that the R7800 is not compatible with Tomato. As I understand Tomato is a software enabling the user to tweak the VPN in an easy way. Is ther any other programm that does the same and can be installed?
  4. I intend to use VyprVPN. Anyone have this installed and working on this router?

LEDE (OpenWRT) supports using the router as a VPN Client. 

 

You can try Cezary's LEDE builds:

I understood from VyprVPN that they have no other way to get their application working on this router. So my next question is:

Is there any other VPN sevice that can be succesful installed on my router?

Re: VPN on R7800

Just to be clear, the R7800 is a router, as you stated in your first sentence.  It's not a modem, as you state in most of your questions.

 

The R7800 only has inbound VPN support.  There is no outbound VPN support on stock firmware.  You will need to use third-party firmware, like DD-WRT or OpenWRT.  I don't have a R7800, so caveat emptor.
