ATT Fiber/ Orbi AX4200 RBK753 VPN?
So I want to use a vpn. ATT fiber gateways themselves don't support VPN. Now I am running an Orbi as the router with passthrough (Fiber->Gateway->Orbi -> devices via wifi. Is there a way to set the VPN with the orbi or am I hosed? If so, what VPN has worked with this?
Thanks
Marc
Model: RBK53|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System

Re: ATT Fiber/ Orbi AX4200 RBK753 VPN?
VPN's work in two directions:
- VPN Host, which allows users on the internet to access devices on the customer's LAN.
Orbi supports this by providing OpenVPN capability. - VPN Client, which creates a tunnel for every device on the LAN to access the internet.
No Netgear routers, and definitely no Orbi routers support VPN Client mode.
There are several VPN companies which have software that can be loaded on specific WiFi routers from several manufacturers (even some of the older Netgear routers) to create a VPN Client. All of these routers are older (Pre WiFi6) models.
Which VPN is the goal?
