What is a good router for x86?

Advise, please, a software kit of a good router on x86. An important note right away: I'm not an admin and I don't like to "red-eye" for the sake of interest, but I just have to do it insofar as. Since 2006, I have been using Kerio Control under Windows, but since support has been around for a long time, a real alternative is needed. Now I finally got my hands on it and I started to try. I know about Linux-based Kerio Control, but I don’t want to do it because it’s a fenced system, in general, I’m ready to pay for good software under Windows that I know well, but there are no more such gateways, and it’s impossible to humanly use either OpenVPN or OpenVPN in the new Kerio WireGuard because it's a costly Linux to hell with.

Now I tried a ready-made kit called pfSense based on FreeBSD, but I got a complete bottom.
I would like:
1) that the router has a web muzzle, at least with a status output.
2) preferably humanly tuned in without suffering.
3) so that various services, such as OpenVPN or WireGuard, are simply imported by placing files along with the config in the folder, as is the case on Windows / Linux / Android. This refers to clients, not servers!!!!! I now have 17 networks and on a normal system I just put the files in my daddy and everything works, but on the router there is some kind of hell with copy-paste of keys, certificates, clicking checkboxes of a bunch of settings and as a result - it doesn’t work, I don’t want to suffer like that anymore
4) living in Russian realities, a ready-made plug-in (router component) is desirable for importing a table of addresses blocked in the country.

The hardware is good, modern, x86, 64 bits, it can accelerate AES hardware and much more, I would like it all to start up and work out of the box without suffering and configurations.

I didn’t like pfSense because it requires too much fuss with elementary things, I don’t need such red-eyedness from the router.

The router is not so often configured. Try Mikrotik CHR by the way and pfsens is good. If you don’t feel like troubles at all, buy cisco asa or isr 4xxx there, in addition to cli, there is an excellent web muzzle minus the basic router is not cheap in the region of $ 800

I'm not a fan of combines and "boxed" solutions, but ClearOS, I think, will suit you.

We used a broken Mikrotik
for a long time. We switched to a VPN server - Zeroshell... in principle, everything is configured there in a couple of clicks...
But the result is the same - Mikrotik, CHR license.
I was quite satisfied

If it is difficult and you need "buttons" it is better to change your profession. IT needs to constantly evolve.
Paid solutions: IDECO, Mikrotik CHR
Free: VyOS

nethserver try. Raised openVPN on it, it works quite well for itself.
But for the router, I personally am for Mikrotik (in any form, even a virtual machine on x86). I have not found anything more convenient.
But in any case, you have to google or hire someone who fumbles. Miracles do not happen, if you want it for free - download the skill. If you don't want to mess around, pay.
