I want to install a VPN Client to shield my IP and not build a tunnel to access my computer. I fear I made a mistake buying this model since I only can see VPN Server setup. Can someone confirm there is no client? Is there 3rd party firmware that supports this?

In the meantime, a year has passed since the release of the firmware with the VPN client for "AX6000 v2", but the company still feeds promises about the VPN client for "AX6000 v1". In one place their production with such an attitude towards customers!

@DmitriyRazmanov I have moved on to Deco X90 for its MESH capabilities and a software VPN. TP-Link should design there own VPN because 3rd party are too slow. I use 2 types of VPN. One hides my IP and the other is to create a private network. With regards to MESH, I discovered that my TPLink AP's were not compatible. TPLink has 2 MESH technologies. Its becoming very expensive. Although MESH is off this topic, I mention it because it relates to frustrations with TPLink that VPN caused.

@Kevin_Z - I installed the Beta firmware to get the VPN Client, and it says I am connected to my VPN. However when I run an IP test it still says my original location. I tested this with the VPN, and it is something on the router side. Has there been any updates, or anything I need to do special, to get the VPN client to work? I am using an OpenVPN connection, if that matters.

@Burt_R I moved on to the Deco X90 (AX6600). If you compare without the VPN and with it and the WAN IP does not change then VPN is not working. I use whatismyipaddress dot com
