    I am awaiting the delivery of my Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter X to set up NordVPN/OpenVPN. I guess I'll try using the Eero in bridge mode and quit paying for the Eero Plus service. I cannot use Encrypt.me on all of my devices and I am tired of waiting for Eero to change.

    Or just not use eero plus. Set bridge mode on eero and use a router that supports VPN like the Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter X. I don't understand why eero is so resistant to opening up true VPN. The encrypt.me is useless to me.

    Thinking I'll go with an ExpressVPN App Linksys WRT3200ACM router from FlashRouters…. gives me a whole house VPN coverage with my eero APs just doing wifi.

      mthomp3763 It really is too bad that eero forces us to spend more money on top of the premium price we paid for the eero to get the security we deserve. I do like the eero plus service except for the encrypt.me. So guess they're saving me a few bucks forcing me to bridge the eero system.

    I've used Unblock-Us.  Works well with eero. Just change the DNA settings on the app.

    How is VPN at the router level not an option yet for Eero?  It's been available on lesser routers that cost wayyyy less.  Please develop this feature as an option.  I understand that the entire purpose of Eero is the ease of use but that shouldn't prevent the rest of us (loyal supporters) from getting "advanced" features such as VPN at the router.

    I see simple whole-house “blanket” VPN connectivity as a popular growing security interest in both social and business circles.  And this is just in the USA; imagine the competitive advantage with this feature available as Eero expands globally.  The VPN market is booming with faster connectivity and unlimited bandwidth; smart home routers must adapt.  Stand out now with this. Thanks for a nice product.

    So here we are at over 2 years of absolutely ZERO progress. All we have received is vague and pathetic lip service amounting to nothing... It is unbelievable that ANYONE would ever invest a dime in this antiquated technology or in a company that obviously is only in it to collect as much money as possible from their unsuspecting, loyal customers and never provide them with any improvements of value.

    I mean we were given this pathetic list of "achievements" as some form of atonement for waiting so long, now we have waited another year and still no improvement.

    I feel we should create a full campaign to warn off as many people as possible and prevent them from wasting and investing their $400 in this scam. Watch my post get flagged and "filtered" out. I am only speaking the truth, yes I am frustrated, I am disappointed, by I am even more upset by these GREEDY corporations lying to us and just taking our money with NOTHING in return but the bare minimum.

      Roy Wells on the app I’m able to block devices from my network. I can also view all of my devices.

      Roy Wells it does support IPv6. I can also reset my Eero from the app.

    Native (whole network) VPN and DNS (External DDNS) are two features that should be standard or at the absolute minimum part of plus. Without, in the new streaming era and home camera and automation, the Eero is worthless as anything more than bridged WiFi.

    Just to keep this fresh, I’d be interested in this as well.  Thanks!

      Same Here. 

      I just got an Eero Pro as part of the package my ISP provided. I disconnected my Asus to install the Eero, only to find I can run PIA on it. My Asus is at least 5 years old. I think this device is made for ISPs that don't want to field tech calls from users that don't understand router settings. Hence, very little capability for modifications.

    I created a forum account just to say.... +1 on this. New eero owner and shocked it doesn't support something my 5 year old Asus router did out of the box.

    Please offer this feature - I'm one of the early adopters and would like my eero to be able to connect to my VPN service of choice.

    Honestly, I’d just assumed this capability when I bought the system.  I love the Eero platform but if I’ve got to shelf it to get router level VPN I’ll consider myself burned and move onto another Mfg/platform that’s interested in staying relevant.  In case it’s unclear I’m at +1 for this feature request.
