Yeah I prefer Tomato anyway. I recently got a free TPLink AX4400. It seems like it might still be supported by TPLink but they appear to operate with a 1 update per year rule.

Is there an alternative firmware that's fairly secure and can keep these routers usable in a small business setting? I'm not a big fan of forced obsolescence of hardware that is totally capable of the task at hand. What are the feelings on on Tomato and DDWRT these days?

Thank you. That works well.

Hi, I have an OpenVPN server running on an ASUS Merlin router with only LAN access but would like to have traffic to one external IP also go through this VPN connection. I tried adding a route (i.e. route 123.123.123.123 255.255.255.255 vpn_gateway) on the client but I can only access the IP...

Edit- I discovered the problem is related to tunnel MTU. I switched home Internet providers to a cellular based service and it looks like for a UDP OpenVPN tunnel to be fully functional the MTU needs to be 1452. Just setting it on the client side seems to be adequate.
