Help setting up openvpn with Eero Pro Gen 2

I know Eero does not support open VPN. 

Current setup is a Netgear cm600 modem then one Eero (gen2 pro) unit then switch going to another Eero and some other devices (tv, stereo, PC,, etc.)

I have an Asus router that I am going to be setting up openvpn on. I want to keep Eero as my wifi mesh network since it works so well. 

I'm not sure if I put the Asus as my main router and wire my Eero units and switch to the Asus, or if I put the Asus inside the Eero network.

Trying to secure my IP camera system and plug it in to my network. Everything I have read says to no forward ports and make sure the poe video recorder is behind a VPN. 

 

Thanks

    If you put the Asus router in front, you’ll need to put your eeros into bridge mode, and you’ll lose some of the functionality (primarily eero Plus if you currently use that). I don’t know if the OpenVPN will work on the Asus when it’s behind the eero, but I’d try that first.
