Hi,

I have a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 with stock firmware. The router works well, but I am now in a situation where I need to have all traffic pass through a VPN connection. If I were to flash new firmware which options do I have that offers this kind of VPN support? As I understand it stock firmware doesn't. My VPN provider is PrivateInternetAccess.
 
You will need to install 3rd party firmware such as DD-WRT or OpenWRT firmware to route all traffic through a VPN.

Thanks, I am prepared to do that, but wanted to know if there's one that is considered better than the others.
