I wanted to paly with OpenWRT so decided to buy a travel router from GL.iNet because I’m lazy, and it comes with OpenWRT by default. My choice exceeded my expectations, and I had a lot of fun configuring OpenWRT. It’s much easier to control your router when you can connect to it via SSH, but it also has a slick web interface, of course. One thing that amused me the most: it has a hardware switch that allows me to enable VPN mode and cover all of my wireless network with WireGuard.
