cloc562oc Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 So my old router I could setup so anything that connected to the router was using my Express vpn account. How do I accomplish that on this router? I read somewhere it is called hybrid vpn. essentially i want to be able to use my vpn but at the same time use geo filtering. right now if I use the vpn desktop app the geofilter does not work on that connection? How can I Accomplish this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2021 It might be hard for the Geo-Filter to work as you're creating a tunnel to the VPN server and then going to the game server, then back and back through the tunnel so it may be hard for the Geo-Filter to distinguish the game traffic as it usually does. If it was to work then you would need to use the ExpressVPN OpenVPN configuration files and add them to the router, then add the devices you want to be covered by it.

cloc562oc Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 yes that's how I've done it before however I don't see where I can add the VPN files on this router. Do you know where this option is located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2021 Go to Hybrid VPN, click VPN Setup and then click Advanced in the box that appears. Then paste the contents of the configuration file in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloc562oc Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 the only thing I can Find that says anything about VPN is under settings>advanced settings>VPN service> however this appears to be a different type of VPN Setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2021 Ahh I don't think that feature is available on the XR1000 currently so you won't be able to use it unfortunately. So as you've tried it on the PC it may not work but just in case do this: Quite the game/client completely - exit from System Tray also Apply VPN to PC Go to Device Manager and give PC the PlayStation device type Go to the Geo-Filter, add your PC and select the manual option Flush the cloud Change your settings Wait 2 minutes then boot up the game Does it work then?

Taha Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 As you note, the VPN option isn't available on the XR1000 right now as far as I can tell. Is there a plan to get that added in the near term roadmap? That is a very attractive feature of the other netduma routers, and something I had hoped to be able to do here. With an option for using it for a specific device / devices and not the whole network as well, ideally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something that is up to Netgear, I'm sure that it is something that will come in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taha Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Is it on any of the other Netgear Netduma routers? Asking because it isn't a feature I have seen on other netgear routers, and afraid maybe they don't want to put the effort into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a feature specific to DumaOS - off the top of my head it is present on the XR500 & XR700. Once the Rapp store is available on DumaOS I should think any features not present on a router should become available. Taha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taha Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The Rapp store has been promised for a while, but I haven't seen any expected ETA information, or really any updated information for that at all. I hope it is coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hi there. As of yesterday I just got gigabit internet installed into my house. I am wondering if I could get more out of the service if I had the XR1000 instead of the XR300. Not really sure what the actual differences are between the XR routers aside from the cost and the way they look. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the XR1000 has better and more powerful hardware as well as Wi-Fi 6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
