Enable VPN Client/Server feature - Deco X50DSL

2024-01-13 11:22:03

Tags: #VPN

Model: Deco X50-DSL

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Is there any plan to enable the VPN client/server feature for Deco X50 DSL in the future?

I am aware that this is enabled for X50, but the DSL variant does not have this as main network deco. Sure, I got X50 in the network but they are satellite units only and so the VPN feature is inaccessible since my main unit is the X50-DSL directly connected to the fibre line as a modem router.

Hope this gets more votes! :)

This device is specifically sold as the main router/gateway. It's quite shocking that this device does not already support this feature.

I am just warning you that if your ISP got you behind CGNAT, the VPN server won't work unless you have private IP address. With my last ISP before moving out it was working even with public IP (not behind CGNAT) with Archer router.

I ended up solving it myself with the help of Tailscale as I refuse to pay for private IP so at the end I didn't have to buy more expensive deco model just for the VPN server functionality.

@Josef69 Good point, but I'm more interested in the VPN client than the server feature since I have a NordVPN subscription. I just need the usual and bare minimum coverage/protection that an off the shelf VPN service can provide for my entire home network.
