addy Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I recently bought an XR500 and after following the community for a few weeks, I see that hybrid VPN is still waiting to be greenlit by Netgear. Do you have an ETA on the hybrid VPN feature, or at least a beta version that is planned to be released? If so, how can users partake in a beta (e.g. replying to a forum post)?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 5, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hey, welcome to the forum! We're waiting for them to complete their testing on the feature then we can release it for those that want it prior to official release. No timeline on this currently.

NetriX Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I really need the new VPN feature on my router, dealing with a lot of packet loss in my current setup that only a VPN can fix. HMA is abysmal in terms of quality, I know you guys said it would be released in the next firmware update back in Feb, but it's been 3 updates later and no option still... please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted August 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 10, 2018 Completely understand Netrix, really hope it will be out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilly Dilly Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Completely understand Netrix, really hope it will be out soon. Just a thought...if the firmware has been developed and just going through QA testing, make it available as a beta firmware. Beta firmware/software is fairly common nowadays.

questvr3 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 So the hybrid VPN feature that's been promised as coming soon for 7-8 months still isn't available yet? Not even as a beta? Is only one person working on this part time or something? Even after all these months I tend to think it should be available by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 15, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 15, 2018 It's done on our end, we're waiting for NETGEAR SQA team to finish testing so we can provide it to people pre release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questvr3 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Is there another forum or way to contact them to inquire as to why this is taking so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 17, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 17, 2018 You could give them a call but they contacted me with a question that resolved an issue they thought they were having so should be moving forward faster now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFuzzyOne87 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Would anyone know if when Hybrid VPN's are possible there will be an option to just import .ovpn files and then just input credentials? Not a big deal really just more out of curiosity! Would anyone know if there will be a way to 'steer' certain application types via vpn and the rest straight out on the internet? Is it even being considered as a feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted August 17, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi Fuzzy - yes to both. The plan is to allow you to input any openVPN config file and I believe can also choose the services / ports you want in or out of the VPN (as well as the devices of course).

Sounds good, I have a VPN running on my NAS which I would love to offload that onto the router if I can in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
