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.

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.
I agree that 2fa would have been nice to have on the Omada controller, but I am very interested in what you write, you make it sound like all enterprise solutions have 2fa built in as standard, do you have any examples of who comes with this in their solutions without being dependent on third party software? You can use 2fa with Omada if you use, for example, Microsoft Radius Server and Omada SSL Server. I have worked a lot with Cisco Unifi and Mikrotik in recent years, none of them have 2fa built in. So again I am very interested in products with 2fa as standard out of the box.

A router that has 2FA out of the box, yes that's not bad, I guess Omada comes with 2FA too so then there will be two that have 2FA. We'll give them some time in the meantime, Vigor routers are a good alternative for anyone who wants 2FA out of the box.

I wrote this here before in the forum...but it's been about a year and no change, so TP LINK has also improved it? It seems not....I have OMADA but I use it locally in the installation room not in front of CLOUD OMADA .....ER706W v1.0
