I was looking at routers with vpn capabilities today that are less vulnerable than consumer grade routers and I came across an interesting article which expands on a lesser known router called the "Pepwave/Peplink Surf SOHO".

Yes, there are plently of VPN routers available in the market which will do the job and it's a matter of finding the one that suits your needs. Throughput (especially encrypted) performance, encryption techniques supported by the router and how active and supported the router is by the vendor are some of the key things I use for evaluation.
