Looking for Router Suggestions

I don't know much about them, but the os seems very versatile

Mikrotik routers seem to have a good community about them, just not sure 
what features the os provides, but seems very versatile, and mentions 
openvpn (I'm thinking endpoint, not hub).

If you really want a router with 2 interfaces for "outside" and 
"inside", you'll have better luck, and just get a gig switch for behind 
it.  Most "routers" really have just two 
(wan=outside,switchports=inside), and just include a small switch 
built-in to get the "5 ports".
