VPN client on RAX80 RAX120 RAX40
These are supposed to be state of the art devices. Then why is there no Client VPN available? I have to use 3rd party software like DDWRT to get client based log in for VPN? Its almost 2020 Netgear...

Hello CyberTri,
The AX routers currently support OpenVPN: https://kb.netgear.com/29783/How-do-I-use-VPN-service-on-my-Nighthawk-router-with-my-Android-device
However, if you would like to see additional features implemented, I would recommend posting your idea on our Idea Exchange Board for new ideas to possibly be added in the future.

I think they want third party Open VPN profile support to use the router as a VPN client for the likes of ExpressVPN, Nord VPN and others. This is something Nighthawk routers don’t support.
