Hi Voxel, sorry to hijack your thread, but is there a custom firmware for Netgear RAX80 with OpenVpn support? Does your firmware enable it? Just like on Asus where you can drop OpenVpn config file on the router and use OpenVpn ?

Sorry but 'no'. I do release my custom firmware for Qualcomm chipset routers. RAX80 is Broadcom. No any plans to support Broadcom because of 'too enclosed' GPL sources (no space for my improvements)...

RAX120 - rather in my plans. But not RAX80...

Voxel focuses mostly on Qualcomm routers from NETGEAR. Broadcom ones are a whole different story. The same goes for the kamoj addon.

Just because I can do much more with Qualcomm routers. Not because of my private comparison of Broadcom vs Qualcomm.
