I needed to put together a VPN router because of an upcoming trip. Since I didn't want to bring a "giant" 4 port router, I went looking for an OpenWRT-compatible travel router. The TP-Link TL-WR710N and D-Link DIR-505L were my two candidates. :)

I setup OpenVPN as a bridge and configured an SSID on it so when I connect to it, it'll be as if I were still at home. (Same subnet so I have access to all my printers, tv tuners, etc).

This is disappointing news. What I just did would not have been possible for $15. I've been using OpenWRT for over 10 years and can't imagine ever using a router without some sort of customizable Linux on it. I've learned so much about Linux, networking, VPNs, etc from OpenWRT.
