It has a nicely designed Linksys user interface that is pleasing to work with and logical
, I can imagine that this device will fulfill your needs with its sleeky appearance, the OpenVPN possibility and nice interface that I always liked on the linksys routers
All that is minor since I only had to go trough it once, and it has a nice management interface for managing OpenVPN certificates (no more command line!) but the only current MAJOR issue I have now is that it only allows 5 simultaneous OpenVPN connections
Even with the slow web interface, it's a good, low-cost router for home and even some small business use
The gui interface is fairly good as these things go, and the device performs well when it is finally working
The Dual WAN port option is a nice feature if you really need to stay connected to the internet.
It supports the features you would expect - VLAN tagging, open VPN, and even URL filtering
Although ZyWALLL gives you plenty of configuration options, the one feature it lacked was support for OpenVPN
Configuration is pretty smooth, lots of great features exposed in the web interface
I'm disappointed because this router does have split-tunneling feature which I was hoping for to route Netflix fireTV boxes around the VPN while keeping the computers protected within a VPN tunnel.
Running this router out of your home using VPN it is good to know that you will need to get a static IP address
I have a couple of devices, such as my printer, that I would like to reserve an IP for, without having to go through the printer's interface to setup a static IP.
The problem is that it does not support dynamic IP addresses (which an IOS device necessarily has) unless Aggressive Mode is turned on, and IOS devices cannot operate with "aggressive" mode
I used this to replace a cheap wireless router we were using only to obtain a static IP to access our in house server from the web
I could not ping the static IP; Remote admin access worked only intermittently and the VPN Server would never connect

The Linksys LRT series integrates Gigabit firewall, site-to-site VPN, and various remote access VPN technologies into a single box
With two models to choose from, Linksys Gigabit VPN Routers provide secure and reliable network service for employees whether they're at the office or on the road.
