I'm thinking of getting a new ASUS router (RT-AC86U) and running NordVPN on it. No need to install third party firmware (even though I might do it anyway).Quote:

I will take a look on this OpenWrt.
I've been reading about Asuswrt-Merlin custom firmwares. For most people the stock firmware is perfectly fine. All the extra features added to the custom firmware are seldom used by most. Some of the tweaks do make the Asus firmware even better. People like megabyteme should stay away from the custom firmwares. Keep it simple. ;)Quote:

I'm not sure if StrongVPN works in this firmware, tough.
That is why LUCI is there... it is more fun to jump into things but a UI is good too. Not sure what you expect from WS. Great program used it myself for various projects, it is what it is.Quote:
