Ask HN: What router will remain secure during the vulnpocalypse?
Hi,
Curious about what kind of router I should get to be safe with all the vulnerabilities being discovered. I'm thinking something running OpenWRT makes sense, since that's open source and likely to receive updates quickly going forward. Does anyone have any recommendations?

You can't even trust the biggest tech companies to reliably ship software updates anymore and they've got more money than god, and the entire industry seems intent on reducing headcount as deeply as possible, killing products and projects however they see fit, ending support in the most abrasive manners possible.
If you want a bit more power or firewall capability a minipc running OPNSense also works.
