@Kevin_Z 

thanks for checking in with me. 
I want to use the c4000's vpn server with iOS and using system supported protocols would just be easier so there's no need to install OpenVPN wich doesn't really seem to work most of the time. 
In addition, implementing vpn on demand on iOS seems to be only supported for system protocols. This can be used for apps to access services at home.

wireguard would be fun to tinker with for tech savvy folks. 
 

thanks for communicating with me about this 

 

keep up the good work

Thanks a lot again for sharing your opinion with the community. While it is not supported now on the Archer C4000, we will keep an eye on such kind of request, we will remind our dev of this request.

 

Good day.
