After the last big company router stopped getting software and security 
updates, I switched to using routers that support pfSense. It is a highly 
regarded open source router implementation which includes OpenVPN. Lots of 
hardware options are available including running it on your own. Here is a 
place to start. Just be sure to ask which hardware options support gigabit WAN. 
I know the lowest end option they have maxes out well below 1000 Mbs.
