This is actually a challenge, as whenever you write something like that
down, the router vendors change their stuff in incompatible ways.
There's actually two aspects here
- routers that ship OpenVPN as part of their standard offerings - some
work, some have very old versions, some hide OpenVPN config behind
confusing menues.
I've had somewhat good experience with the Teltonika RUT series - their
CPU is sloowwww for asymmetric crypto, but symmetric seems fast enough,
and the OpenWRT variant that they ship is fairly solid (I use OpenVPN
for remote access in case of "primary link breaks" over a LTE link, and
"it is fast enough").
- routers that can be re-flashed to OpenWRT, with current OpenVPN versions
and "full support for whatever you want". There's
https://openwrt.org/toh/start
but you'll need to check carefully which devices are still shipping,
which devices have a "v2" "v3" and so on which might not be supported,
etc. - from recent reviews, the AVM Fritz!Boxes seem to be fairly
good candidates. Some older ones like the 7412 can be had cheaply on
ebay, but have plenty of RAM and Flash and powerful CPUs...
(note: the VDSL modem will usually not work well with OpenWRT, so
use with an external modem in that case).
