New Software [New Firmware] Routers supporting VPN Client
Hello Everyone,
Some customers are interested in the VPN Client feature on the TP-Link router, we currently have some models support it. We will list them here and update the list.
For those not in the list, we don't know whether or when they will support VPN Client in the future, so we will not answer if you ask. You can keep an eye on the official website, or on the router web GUI/Tether app for any new updates.
Before requiring the VPN Client feature on a router, we hope our customers have a better understanding how to use it, or if it is actually the function you required.
Below is the setup guide for reference:
How Do I Use VPN Client to Access a Remote VPN Server
Models support VPN Client already:
Archer AX20(EU)_V1_210318 and later versions
Archer AX20(US)_V1_210318 and later versions
Archer AX20(EU)_V2_210325 and later versions

Note: Please check the device label to verify the country code and hardware version of your device first, and choose the correct file to download and install.
Kindly inform us to update this thread if you find one that supports VPN Client but not listed, thank you.

You could be right. 
We don't have any news on whether Archer C6 will receive the new VPN client feature. We don't know either this is limited by router hardware or firmware, but let's hope and see if it will also receive it.

@Kevin_Z i am sure the feature is not limited by the hardware because the feature already exists in OpenWRT firmware. Please convey this message to the developers of tp-link to implement this feature if possible. it's really a required feature. Also the latest Archer C6 V3.20 has Dual Core processor which is very powerful.

Unable to load ovpn profile under VPN client.
When I am trying to upload OVPN client file, I see the progress bar is going to 100% however when I press save I receive an error that field is required.
Router is AX1800 (AX20) EU with latest firmware 1.3.1 Build 20210524 rel.40909(4555).
I tried with different browsers (Safari and Edge) same issue.
Any ideas?

@IrcCafe How big is the file? It must be less than 8KB with the Notepad + application you can edit it and verify that the file is correct and its content, tell us if you can successfully connect the VPN client service there are some failures that are being reported, hoping to improve them soon.

@Kevin_Z will AX73 support vpn client also when? Considering if Ax20 or AX21 can support it, I am sure AX73 should be able to do it.

@Varun5 Cheers
Although you can not trust much because I have Archer X20 US V2 and it has the option VPN Client does not work it has the error that it does not contact it stays in connecting, so you do not miss anything even the function does not work it does not work and there are many repositories in the community of errors and that no one has been able to successfully connect even following all the steps they gave in the instructions.

@Varun5 if I have hope that they solve it, I had the xiaomi ac2350 that has vpn but only the L2TP I did not investigate much and save it and buy the Archer AX20 believing in the comments that the last update implemented the VPN Client option with OPENVPN and I was disappointed that does not work, it is better ASUS unfortunately it is very expensive in my country I cannot pay for an ASUS product I have no choice but to wait for them to fix the problems with the VPN client

JML that I have 5 TP link routers in the house and none on this list !
AX6000
AX50
A6
C6
AX1500
The AX6000 has extremely powerful hardware. No reason why it can't support a VPN connection such as PPTP / OVPN when much weaker / less specced routers are on this list. If possible, please ask the dev team to continue supporting there flagship routers for a few years like Asus does. Why abandon the AX6000/11000 ?
