Trying to configure VPN on Archer MR550 4G+LTE
I am trying to create a VPN Server on my MR 550 to serve a surveillance camera to a couple of clients on the public internet.
I have NordVPN and a dedicated IP address, but i do not see how to configure the IP address in the interface for the MR550. I was trying to follow the instructions, but the menu entry VPN Client does not appear in the menu on my TP-Link admin interface.
Thanks in advance !

Hi, NordVPN itself works as the VPN server, but Archer MR550 doesn't support VPN Client. So you can't use the NordVPN subscription.
If you plan to set Archer MR550 as the VPN server, you might need to request a public APN profile from the SIM ISP to get a public IPV4 address first; otherwise, the VPN server would be protected by the ISP firewall, and the remote VPN Clients can't connect to the VPN server.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

@David-TP Thank you so much for explaining this !
I have a mini-PC that I could add to this configuration (which could run NordVPN).
Would that help solve my problem ?

Hi, thank you very much for your time and patience.
Do you want to use the VPN service to remotely access the security cameras connected to Archer MR500?
If this is the main reason for the VPN connection, as long as the security cameras are behind Archer MR550, you'll need to ask for a public APN profile.
Best regards.
