What's a good router for a home VPN? (lemm.ee)

Hello, I want to setup a VPN to dial up my home. I'm having trobules with my WRT3200ACM, and other firmwares aren't working fine for me due to the oddities of this particular router.

Would you recommend me another router? I'd like to setup an OpenVPN or Wireward + some dynamic DNS updater in it.

thanks

Do you have any other requirements for the router? Or just to be able to run a VPN? When you say VPN, are you looking just to encrypt your home network (create your own VPN) or to use a paid service? E.g. VPN client or server?

I'm looking to dial in my home to reach some servers I expect to have running there. I could go the raspberry way, but I'd prefer it to be a router. I have some cloud servers for my own development that I'd like to host myself And maybe one of those services would be exposed.

Most decent routers should support that. I personally use a Unifi Dream Machine which I can't fault. Previously used a Nighthawk router which also supported it.
