Doesn't BE9300 have VPN Client config to connect Nord, SurfShark, ExpressVPN etc?
Hi there,
Archer BE9300 emulator does not show a VPN Client config as BE6500 / BE19000 do; I wonder if that is an emulator misconfig or if this model really does not allow OpenVPN configuration to use NordVPN, ExpressVPN etc.
Below is a screenshot of the BE19000 admin page for VPN Client, which I can't find on BE9300.
Thank you!
Hello @DanielTM, Thank you for reaching out to us and welcome to the TP-Link community.
What is the exact model number of your BE9300? Is it Archer BE550 or Archer BE9300? While I believe both models should already support VPN Client. Check their specification on the website:
Make sure you' re running it at its default Router mode.
@Kevin_Z thank you - it's the BE550 (I thought it's called BE9300 as well?) and I found an emulator at TP-Link site, which shows this specific model calls it "VPN Merge" intead of "VPN Client" as on the other models.

The emulator allows me to create a manual OpenVPN connection:
So I believe this is a "GO" for me.
And it even seems to allow more than one VPN connection at the same time, and specific LAN clients to use different VPN servers - a huge plus from what I have today:
It does not allow me to see how the "Client List" shows when you choose the "Custom Mode" but it must be like I mentioned.
Again, appreciate your support.
