I purchased a Netgear Nighthawk R7350 (AC2400) router a year ago, as it stated on the box that it supported Linux. I figured to try it out once I felt comfortable enough to take the plunge - which I started a few months ago.
Unfortunately, even though it is stated to support Linux on the box, their support maintains that not all of the features (like establishing a VPN with OpenVPN from my Debian laptop to the router) is expressly supported for Linux. Basically, while the router provides OpenVPN files for Windows, Android, and Mac systems, there is no support for Linux based systems (which I mentioned in a previous thread).
So, I am trying to set up workarounds like port forwarding/triggering to establish connectivity, with OpenIP, a dynamic DNS service.
While I am working on solving that problem, I would like to know: what out-of-the-box routers do you use (or recommend using) for your Linux systems to connect back to your home network? (I may be experimenting with setting up a PC to act as a Linux router - but that will be a future project.)
