Yes. Tomato with openvpn. I followed a tutorial to set it up initially and have only messed with is once since then, to change the IP address of the VPN Server. The router gets set up as a client and auto connects to the VPN server on each reboot. Any clients behind that router go out through the VPN and are not visible to anything else on the network.
