Which router to choose with OVPN support?

Question

openvpn

Hello. Advise a piece of iron with support of OpenVPN of the client. So far I'm looking at Mikrotik. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If Mikrotik, then use not OpenVPN, but IPsec, since Mikrotik's OpenVPN is nominally implemented ...
And in general, use IPsec, everything from Windows to iPhone supports it out of the box, and you still need to manage to install OpenVPN.

Answer 2

OpenVPN in Mikrotik can only tcp and does not know how to use some of the openvpn features (I don’t remember), in general, I don’t advise. It's easier to take any piece of hardware that normally runs OpenWRT and put it there.

Answer 3

you can also look in the direction of routers with the possibility of flashing to dd-wrt (or openwrt). From personal experience, 8 tp-link 4300 1.5 years work flawlessly + 2 asus rt-n18u (these are 2 months so far).
