I mean supporting many hardware devices, rather than going with a custom hardware?
Hey Naif,
Access Labs' openwrt-based torouter firmware is still the best and most stable. It worked pretty well for me back in August on a TP-Link N750, and earlier on a Buffalo router, so it's worth looking at. PORTAL is also a cool project, but tbh I don't know much about it.
This is the sort of project that someone should pitch to RFA when the next Open Tech Fund round opens in January. In my mind, the ability to make your own torouter out of inexpensive (and ubiquitous) routers somewhat trumps having open-hardware torouters available for purchase. But all work in this area is a true labor of love, and it makes sense for people to pool their efforts where they feel the greatest impact can be made.
