I bought a libreCMC router [1] from Think Pinguin [2] years ago. The firmware is well maintained [3]. The IRC support has been excellent when needed. It is by no means a high end router, but I did not purchase it with that expectation to begin with. Overall, I have been super happy with it.

I bought a libreCMC router [1] from Think Pinguin [2] years ago This looks very cool, but do they sell a router with everything installed and ready to go? I don't see a "buy it now" button on their page. I suspect there are a lot of people like me who are happy to buy this stuff but would like to have it ready to go, out of the box.

  Hi jseliger, The libreCMC router from Think Penguin did come ready to go out of the box. Of course I made a few tweaks. At the very least you will want to set a good passphrase. Unfortunately I don't think the model that I purchased is still being sold. Think Penguin is now selling a newer model (Wireless-N Mini VPN Router (TPE-R1100)) with preconfigured vpn tunneling that is FSF certified [1]. Though I have not used that particular model, it is running the same libreCMC firmware :-). You can read more about their VPN service here [2], but I can't comment on it since I have never used it.
