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 ...
- 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.
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?
