While I'm not suggesting the use of Fedora on a stock residential router, most
of these routers also have a USB port.
If you're suggesting to run Fedora off a USB port, then remember that
they also usually only have max 32MB of RAM as well. :-)
I second the suggestion of using such a device. It's quiet, low power,
and easy config. I have considered, but haven't got around to trying to
setup openvpn on one yet, so that's an unknown. You could find a cheap,
openwrt supported router from a second-hand store to test out before
buying a better one.
I'd highly suggest using Wireguard rather than OpenVPN. I got around to
switching my personal systems the other day, and the benefits are immediately
noticeable. I can push gigabit over my home VPN. :)
I have been running openvpn for many years and my VPN network is
widespread. I only heard about Wireguard recently, but it's something I
should look into.
