Re: RECOMMEND: Wireless Home Router with VPN Built-In

I have a Draytek Vigor 2820vn. Have had it for a few years now. Seems to be quite reliable. Has three types of WAN connectivity built-in - ADSL2+, Ethernet (for cable modems), and USB for mobile broadband dongles. And, as you requested, it does have a built-in VPN service and very configurable firewall.

Now, this particular unit will never support IPV6, and I think they may have stopped making it now. If I was in the market for a router today, I would go for the Vigor 2830 series. It is IPV6 ready, and all four of its Ethernet ports are gigabit ports (only one is on the 2820).

Anyway, I'm sure you will get *lots* of opinions about favourite hardware!

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi! all,

Toying with the idea of setting up a personal, that is, non-business, VPN for a device or two for those rare times I use public wifi. For improved security, mind you. Want to keep it simple, but it must work outside the U.S. (I foresee a change coming.) So, figured a new home router with the server built-in would be better than a for-charge (or free) VPN service. (After 8 years of continuous use, I'm getting nervous about my old router anyway, and want to replace it.)

What routers would you all recommend? And why?

Thanks.
