Router With OpenVPN Support

Recently I got tplink 3600 for 2.7k... Ddwrt support is there n600 with gigabit ports and 2 usb. Don't use openvpn but I suppose it would work
 
I was able to connect to the VPN but the routes don't seem to be routed , if anyone knows how to make them work I would like to know . I haven't tried openWRT yet on this router .
 
I would say go for a router with DDwrt support
Have used OpenVpn on desktop but never configured one on on a router.

You can try DD-WRT or Tomato

Thing is I use a ddwrt router, the router connects to VPN but the routes are not implemented by default so after connecting I lose Internet connection. I can't understand how to forward the traffic to VPN. If anyone has done it maybe he might be able to help.
 
My earlier post was for @dinjo

Since you can connect to VPN,check whether the OpenVpn daemon is working.
ps | grep "openvpn"

In the OpenVPN server configuration there is a option to foreward queries to DNS or something like that, you might need to have that option enabled i.e. Direct clients to redirect Internet Traffic

I was trying to setup the connection on behalf of dinjo, his provider had sent keys and certificate, that I think should be put in the openvpn client, the server config is on their end. The connection to the VPN is established just that my traffic can't find a route between the router and VPN. The files work on the openvpn client of any PC or laptop. So only thing is the routing table, I am not very versed with that part of the router I just know the basics but don't know how to put in code.

I will look this up this week, my N13U is sitting like a muesuem piece.

You may need to add the route 0.0.0.0 with the IP of the VPN as next HOP to make it default route. I use the same stuff but in the opposite way to block access to certain ranges.
