Which router: 1Gbps WAN, Firewall, OpenVPN

Thu Jul 21, 2022 8:28 pm

Which MT router would be best for:

1Gbps/1Gbps ISP connection (FTTH) + secondary 300 Mbps/10 Mbps ISP connection (Cable provider) primarily for failover.

Device will function as the Firewall.

OpenVPN w/a maximum of 10 simultaneous users.

OpenVPN, is not a requirement its a disease.............

hapac2, hapac3, RB450Gx4, RB3011, RB4011, RB5009 will all handle 1gig connection.
Recommendation, RB5009 as best use of your $$.
If your budget constrained, hapac3 (but not for its wifi).

WG is easier to setup but this does not make OVPN bad.
It all depends on the requirements.

I would agree if we were talking only for ROS v6 where OVPN could only run over TCP.
But in ROS v7 UDP is supported.
