Router recommendation with easy L2TP or OpenVPN as WAN setup.

dnwk

Could anyone recommend a router for home use that could easily setup L2TP/IPsec or OpenVPN as WAN?

Mikrotik RouterOS has low end routers with L2TP and OpenVPN servers.
You can find a re-seller in your county here.

NanoG6

Anything with advancedtomato.com firmware on it

I'd say build a PfSense machine, Configuring VPN clients on it is a doddle and there are plenty of guides around.

+PfSense

Get a dual NIC machine and load PfSense on it.

VPN client not server

Is it possible to use raspberry pi + a switch ?

All the routers on the market can act as openvpn clients. Any traffic that goes from the LAN to the WAN interface will then use the openvpn connection i.e. it'll be encrypted. Is this what you want?

You can rock PPTP client with luci on 4MB flash out of the box. Build the image yourself and you've got even more space left.

I personally used Linksys E1200 & E900 with dd-wrt firmware and they work great

Using Asus RT-N16 here. No idea what original firmware even looks like since I installed Tomato Shibby on it right away. Frankly, I wouldn't touch any of the firmware that comes pre-installed with commercial routers - the exception being Mikrotik.

How much throughput do you need out of your tunnels? mbps

Mikrotik RB941-2nD-TC about ~ $23

The Synology AC-1900 stock firmware is meant to be pretty decent, infact if I was going to buy a SoHO/AIO router it would probably be that.

EDIT: not sure if it has VPN client support mind, it does support being a server.
