Openvpn server: DD-WRT router vs linux server

Post by ravim » Fri Jul 12, 2013 9:22 pm

I need to setup VPNs from about 15 remote locations (each location will have a DD-WRT router) to a central location. Not much traffic on the VPNs except for some monitoring/SNMP and backup traffic during night hours from the remote location to the central location. Should/can I use DD-WRT router at the central location where all the VPNs terminate or should I use a linux server with openvpn? Are there any pros/cons with either of the options.

Thanks
Ravi
