I've always wondered about OpenWRT. In my uneducated thinking, running an access point/wifi, firewall, router, etc, all in the same package would create a bottleneck right at the point you wouldn't want it. What has been your experience?
Everything works fine. It's super handy having such fine control over my router.
Just got OpenWRT One router. I have never set up a VPN server, but the wireguard API didn't seem too bad. I've never used an API either though. What do you think about OpenWRT running Wireguard, firewall, and reverse proxy (Caddy)? My firewall experience is with nftables and ufw back in the day.
My selfhost plans for now are just nextcloud and Jellyfin.
