AX6000 VPN Client?

Hello,

I see that OpenVPN is listed in the specifications as a VPN Server. However can it be configured as a VPN client using OpenVPN to connect to one of the VPN Provider services?

The OpenVPN server in the router acts as a way for a remote client to connect to the router securely to the local network of the router. If you browse to the internet from that point, then it would be as if you are on the LAN of the router from there.

The WAN of the AX6000 can be set for PPTP or L2TP, but those working depends if the VPN provider supports that. For example, NordVPN used to support L2TP but has since stopped so client devices will now need to use the VPN clients software instead.
