VPN Enabled Router (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hi all,

I want to setup a router in my network that would cover my whole household under VPN. I bought a DSL-AC88U but I think it might be too outdated for this purpose (I've seen a lot of posts online with people having trouble setting it up after 2021) so I think I will be returning it.

I manged to get it for $70 on an auction, and that's a rough ballpark of my budget on it atm. Maybe stretching it to $100 (I don't mind buying used).

Is there a router you could recommend? Thanks

Anything that runs OpenWRT should do. Including possibly your AC88U. At least the non modem version is officially supported https://openwrt.org/toh/asus/rt-ac88u

Problem is, the router mention there is the RT not DSL - one that one ordered

Yup, you'll have to more digging for the DSL part. But it doesn't change my original answer: anything that runs OpenWRT.
