Hi, VPN Client with private IP address doesn't matter, if you use OpenVPN Connect software on your computer directly and add the same .ovpn file, will it work fine?

Please follow this thread for further troubleshooting: Troubleshooting VPN Issues on Deco

 

By the way, Deco XE5300 issue can be reported or discussed under Deco product section, if there is any further issue, it is recommended to comment on the above thread or start a new thread under Deco product section.

我有一台AX50 型的路由器 但在內部進階設定只看到VPN伺服器的支援選項

近期想將已經購買的SurfShark VPN設定至路由器這樣不用每台家用裝置都要設定

 

想請教這款路由器(AX50)是否能再有VPN Client設定支援

Hello, Archer AX50 doesn't support VPN Client feature and we don't have advanced information now about whether it will support VPN Client or not, it is recommended to pay attention to any new firmware update via its web GUI or TP-Link official website.

Can you confirm if the AX20 still supports VPN Client.

 

The link to the list of filtered products shows the AX20 and clicking into it shows 2 hardware versions - V1 & V2.

 

Neither of these show VPN Client in the Specifications table under Security, in the same way that say the AX55 does.

 

If you click the Support link, you can see a V3 hardware version, but it's not possible to see the specifications of this model on the product page.

 

I want to be sure that I can set NordVPN up on my router before I go out and buy another one, after being stung by the Archer AX10 😖

 

Edit: also the V2 is badged as End of Life, whilst the V1 version isn't 🤔

 

Edit2: on further inspection, the emulator for the AX55 V1 doesn't have an option for VPN Client despite the specifications clearly listing it as a feature! How is the average user supposed to validate the product they're purchasing has all of the advertised features when the resources on tp link website contradict each other?

Sorry to be unclear on the public specifications on the website.

 

As you can see from the below page, all versions of Archer AX20 (V1/V1.20/V2/V3) support VPN Client:

https://www.tp-link.com/home-networking/wifi-router/?filterby=AND%7C6112&page=2

 

I will report to the website admin to check the specifications and update the VPN Client support info.

  @Kevin_Z Is there any way to fond out if the TP Link Archer AX73 AX5400 supports openvpn? 

Kevin_Z wrote

A growing number of community users are showing great interest in the VPN Client feature on the TP-Link routers, we are happy to announce here that we do have some router models that support the VPN Client feature, and there will be more in the near future.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Kind Note:

This post will be actively updated to notify the new models that add the support for the VPN Client feature, welcome to subscribe!
 

 

What is a VPN Client?

 

Visit this link to understand what is a VPN client and how to set one up on the TP-Link VPN router.

 


What are the models that support VPN Client?

 

Visit the TP-Link website to get the models that support VPN Client.


Note:

1. If you cannot find the VPN Client feature on your router in the above product list, check and update your router firmware to the latest version.
2. The VPN Client product list is subject to change and might not include all models and hardware versions. Changing means that models can be both added and removed, or even just updated without warning. It is recommended to keep watching the firmware releases for your router, as the VPN client feature will be listed in the patch notes if/when it is added to your version.

3. Be aware that PLANNED is not a guarantee, as the plan can be adjusted or changed. We always recommend choosing a router based on the features that are currently offered, and not what could be.

 

 

How to use the VPN Client feature on the TP-Link Router?

Go through the setup guide to configure and use the VPN Client feature:
How to install a VPN on TP-Link Wi-Fi Router (For Express VPN, NordVPN, etc.)

 


What VPN Server does the VPN Client work with?

The VPN Client of the TP-Link router can work with third-party VPN Servers such as ExpressVPN, NordVPNSurfshark, Mullvad, Proton VPN, Private Tunnel, PIA, etc. Let the community know if it works with other VPN Servers that are not listed.
Note: If the above VPN service provider updates their VPN settings and/or protocols, we may need to update the router firmware to support them in the future.

 

 

Welcome to comment below if anything needs to be updated or if you have more concerns.

I know this thread is old, but when it says the x50 does that also qualify the px50?
