-This tutorial is for flashing a Netgear WNDR3800 router with openwrt and then building a vpn server on it with openvpn.  The instructions here can easily be adapted to other hardware.  First, download the stable release:
+This tutorial was originally designed for using openvpn with openWRT on a Netgear WNDR3800 router. My current hardware, however, is the c7 Archer v5 by TP-Link. Regardless of what you use, however, this tutorial will help you use your openWRT router as a self-hosted VPN solution. First, download the stable release for you model. It's best to find the dedicated hardware page and check your exact variant, etc. Below, I have an example of the page for the Archer. I also included the link to all openWRT downloads and the supported hardware list.

 It is probably best to stop network manager; after that, assign a local ip address (on the same subnet as the router) to your network interface.
