Hello

 

I purchased the following router as i believed it supported VPN: TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750. It states on the box, supports OpenVPN.

The plan was to have a VPN installed on the Router so all devices (phones, laptops etc) have VPN instead of installed/activating VPN on each device.

 

After speaking with my VPN provider they advised "Your router allows for OpenVPN server set up - however, in order to set up VPN at the router level, you must have the option for OpenVPN client."

 

Based on this, i have 2 questions.

 

1. Is the above information correct?

2. If so, what Router would allow VPN at the server level?

 

Ideally, i would prefer a modem option as I am currently connecting the Archer C7 through the ISP modem. 

 

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Regarding #1: Yes, the information from your VPN provider is correct.

 

Regarding #2: Check out this forum thread. https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/272492

 

There is currently no TP-Link router with built-in modem available that has the VPN Client feature.
