"A Cheaper, Simpler Option
A few months after publishing this article, I came across a new router that gets most of the way toward achieving the goals of this project. For only $100 you can buy the Flint (GL-AX1800) and protect all your home network traffic with a WireGuard VPN. The caveats:
Your speeds will be limited to 500 Mbps due to the weaker ARM CPU.
The selective routing configurability is more limited; the best it can do is allow you to set up a "guest network" that isn't routed over the VPN and then you must configure your non-VPN device to use that Wi-Fi network."
For the same price you can get the never version Flint 2 and it's way more pokey
I didn't see the V2 in you first nite 👀 the Flint 2 is on the supported device list. Thanks mate 🤠🤙
If you do get one let me know. We have a very small telegram chat for tips, tricks and general chit chat with it. 👍

That was quick 😎👌🏽
It will probably be saturday until i can set it up. Do you have any recommendations for me to read as preparation? I'll start with the manual 🤓
Is it really this easy?

It sounded more difficult in the mullvad tutorial. 🤔 What am i missing?
Do i need to reinstall OpenWRT or can i use the installed version?
It's as easy as that I can assure you.
Are you running the installed firmware?
Just found this:
"OEM firmware: fork of OpenWrt 23.05.0, kernel 5.15.134, GCC 12.3, custom theme, some outdated packages, default IP is 192.168.8.1, HFO and WED enabled by default"
