    Hi Ranchor2,

     

    The OpenVPN will not work if the R7000 is connected to another router. The R7000 should have a public IP on order for the OpenVPN to work.

thanks for your reply.

but, i have used asus router, to do just that. i was able to enter my openvpn settings right into the router admin panel.

and every device connected to my router, was able to use my vpn settings. so i didnt need to install separate apps on each device to connect to the vpn.
