    Once you try OpenWrt and see it lets you do pretty much anything you want, you'll never want to use stock firmware again

    Considering I just read through the wiki for the software and didn't feel like a Jedi of Networking after doing so, what super powers does it have for those of us who are generally networking phobic?

    I am a StrongVPN subscriber.
    I don't know if the lack of encryption is because of tomato's.
    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.

    Do we need a programmer to set things right in this firmware, or it has also a user-friendly interface, which can do many of things too?
    Does it really encrypt L2TP packages? I'm asking because I believed that until I installed wireshark.
    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.

    Thanks for the info. I'm not a skilled programmer.
    It took me some time to do a simple batch file that do on windows a "touch" linux command, to adjust the timestamp.
