Hi guys as title suggests I have a pi 4b 4gb and basically I want to connect it to my isp provided router (wired connection via a lan cable) and run an openvpn config on it and then connect it to an access point that i already have (this one is wired too via a usb to RJ45 adapter and lan cable). I know that I need to flash openwrt image on an sdcard and install it on pi4 but I don’t know how to configure openwrt after that and honestly the guides on the forums and internet are a little confusing (I’m not that tech savy) also I read that not all usb to RJ45 adapters work with openwrt on pi4 but I don’t know which one to buy. can anyone show me a fool proof guide or tell me what I need to do? Edit: thank you all amazing people for your input I found a Google wifi mesh solution second hand (ac-1304 model) that is supported by OpenWRT latest firmware for a good price and I went with that. Gonna find a proper use case for my Raspberry Pi in the future for now gonna keep it as a tinkering device.
Yeah I know open-vpn speeds are not gonna be pretty. I’ll try wireguard or AnyConnect configs on it. about the device yeah it’s a few years old but I can’t find new version here. I guess that’s what you expect when living in a third world country
If you can wait I would, the OG hex is pretty damn slow. I have one as a backup router and even then I wouldn’t want to use it long term.
I bought second hand Google mesh solution that is supported by OpenWRT latest release
Nice, sounds a lot better than the Hex
Yes I found it(ac-1304 model) by chance. They have a Quadcore chip and 4GB Flash storage and 1 GB memory
