NO...Currently TPLink has OpenVPN only for Business site to site configuration. In other words it won't work for VPN Service Providers that require Login Information.
Like other router manufacturers they don't want to support this feature. Try ASUS Routers for this feature OR load OpenWRT, DD-WRT, FreshTomato on a different router.

username and password for Openvpn users (not username and password for vpn providers)
Basically the R605 can be setup as an Openvpn server so that users can remote into the local LAN using the Openvpn client and importing the .ovpn file that the R605 generates. However, anyone who has this .ovpn file can remote into the local LAN with no means of authentication ( no username or password) This is a security risk and not acceptable from a business perspective. Say an employee no longer works for the company, how do you prevent Openvpn remote access for this employee when the .ovpn generated by the R605 is the same for everybody else?

@RopKoob I have this setup for a single user needing access to his offices which are also using these routers in a site to site vpn configuration so this is okish for now but I can't use this for basically any of my other clients who have multiple users because of this issue. Hopefully this gets addressed in an update sometime soon.
