I have a router I’m running nord vpn but I use bitTorrent on windows and I’m looking to switch. Does anyone have a flavor of Linux and program they use?

Any advice would be helpful I’m getting nowhere on forums.

    Asus WRT Routers are great however, it doesn’t support certain Registrars for DDNS like Cloudflare so I had to install Merlin Firmware, ssh into the router and then manually configure a cron-job so that my A records stay up to date with my WAN.

    Thankfully somebody already been down this path a posted the documentation which made things 100x easier.

      My ISP uses CG-WAN so in order for me to remote into it, I had to set up Tailscale, the OS isn’t perfect but is way better than any consumer grade router in the market. I also use a custom firmware, modified version of OpenWRT that works with routers with modems.
