Given what it is... it's as secure as it can be. Short of a 0-Day lurking somewhere, or an active CVE, the configuration is fine. Not to mention all the top results appear to be operated by organizations that certainly know what they are doing.
- kube-system 5y agoYes, there are many consumer routers that support VPNs, including the ones we're talking about here. https://www.tp-link.com/us/user-guides/Archer-C7/chapter-12-vpn-server https://www.tp-link.com/us/user-guides/Archer-C7/chapter-12-... Although, remote management isn't much of a consumer feature to begin with.

- darkwater 5y agoIf you as a consumer and - spend 100 bucks on a specific router - have a static IP - put your router web ui on the Internet then yeah, you are definitely the type who should be also able to put a VPN to properly manage it. I don't really get your defense of this practice. It is bad and risky, and there are no good reasons to expect it to be a sane config for a router.
