(Linksys' firmware)

I might agree with you if it weren't for openvpn, but setting up openvpn
is MUCH simpler than playing firmware games with your router. Maybe
you'd like to know that openvpn is very easy to work with NATs and
firewalls (just forward port 1194 udp), runs on linux, windows, and mac,
and uses time-proven openssl libraries, and is quite simple to configure
compared to ipsec or pptp or other vpn technologies.
