Same here, firmware upgrade did not help me at all.

Im running VPN on the Linksys itself. One Linksys v1.1 running

boxes up instead of port forwarding to another VPN system.
Also I dont believe (using the linksys gui) you can port forward
protocol 47 (gre) which is necessary for VPN.
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.
I agree, there is nothing to setup for OpenVPN... very simple. The
router does not have to do anything but let
the OpenVPN port through. I choose it for its simplicity and
transparancy to NAT.
