2FA for VPN
Good morning from the not so sunny UK!
We have several ER7206 (and a few ER605) based at different clients sites, and we would like to have the ability to add 2 factor authentication to the VPN setup please. This feature nowadays is a must have for cyber assurance purposes, so it seems daft to have to implement another VPN solution when you have 99% of it already built into the router. It's just missing that last option!
Even the OpenVPN server built into the ER7206 doesn't appear to have the option for 2FA, and to my knowledge this is standard option for the OpenVPN server.
This router fulfills all of our requirements and the Omada ecosystem as a whole is fantastic, it's just this one drawback!
Many thanks.

Must have feature for any business today to be complaint with most cyber security certification assessments.
Really needs to be implemented.

Morning one and all,
Just curious if there had been any updates for this requested feature?
I know the general response has been "Well who else does it?" which I kind of get. But what I don't understand is why the push back on what should be a standard feature on any "business" class VPN router?
Do the right thing TP-Link! Set your sights higher than the competition!! I beleive in you!!

So here we are, 18 months after the original request and unless I've missed something we're still no closer to having this (in my opinion) business critical feature implemented.
Are we at the point now where we say, it's not happening so find a different solution? Yes I know the SSL VPN feature can sort of do this, but it's a faff and would be sooooo much easier for admins if they could just setup a VPN server, setup the user for said VPN server, and then check a box saying "this user requires 2FA" and bosch, here is their TOTP QR code. Job done, happy days!
I love the Omada stuff, I really do. It simple, effective and doesn't break the bank. But this 1 little thing is just holding it back in my opinion.

@DaveMcDave Hello, any news about SSL VPN with 2FA? It is very demanding feature and it would be great to use for example OPENVPN connect and 2nd factor from google or duo...This integration should be must have. Thanks a lot for reply.

It's a great shame that such a large company as TP-LINK hasn't been able to solve this yet, perhaps through QR or some other method... the question is whether they will solve it at all... and yet they sell their most expensive network products as "BUSINESS class", which has nothing to do with this segment, I would say, because 2FA authentication is the very basis of VPN security.
