A router with custom firmware (OpenWrt) is a basic device on my home network, but I am also using it in the business environment as a main device, and all works great.
In the past I used DD-WRT on my routers. Despite that their project is still ongoing, I found it lacking behind current needs.
OpenWrt use strictly depends on the device – router, that I am using. I always choose a device that will work for me and it will not bend under spikes of load.
Depending on where we use our router, we may be in a situation where we need to have a backup plan in case our primary internet connection goes down.
If you have your own router with OpenWrt software, you have probably thought more than once about how to set up a VPN server on it so that you can connect to your local network from outside your home/office and have access to local data, such as a network drive or printer.
You are probably aware that it is very important that the website you visit, especially the one where you enter any data (including login and password) is secured with a so-called green padlock, i.e. served by https:// before the name of the website.
