I generally prototype things like OpenVPN to a RaspberryPi running OpenWRT and then move to the real router. Easier to wipe a SD card than solder in JTAG headers!
How well does this work? I'm thinking that a Pi just has a single (slow) Ethernet port, where it presumably needs at least 2 to be a router? Obviously there are usb-ethernet options to add ports but I feel like I may be missing a trick?
I'm watching LEDE, but haven't jumped ship, yet.
It's not helped by the fact that LEDE looks like it's had a lot more development recently, but most of that is just rebranding and it's hard to see where the real momentum is.
I think the lack of clear documentation as to what current hardware works well makes it hard to adopt (although I can't see a good way to fix that particular problem).
