VPN on R7800
Like the other thread, I want to use my router as the VPN client, I do not want to have it loaded on the individual devices (IOS, Android, MAC and Win). Reviewing the discussion, I was going to try OpenWrt or LEDE, but I do not see a stable version for my X4S router. Is there one?
- Yes a tftp flash from command prompt is all that’s needed to revert to stock, in fact stock firmware settings are still saved when you revert.

Have you tried Bs ddwrt yet?
According to the DD-WRT website, it doesn't list my R7800 router in their Router database. I only found a compatible version in another community thread that said (see below), but when I look at the database, my R7800 is not listed. So it has me questioning whether it is legit.

"LEDE (OpenWRT) supports using the router as a VPN Client. "
"You can try Cezary's LEDE builds:

So my question is, Is it legit and will I be able to return the R7800 back to factory settings if I do not like the LEDE build?
