Hey all,

I thought I might bring DD-WRT to your attention.

It is a Linux-based open source firmware for routers and it looks like it gives you much more control over your router.

I have a "BeBox" from BeBroadband (which is actually a Thompson Speedtouch) and it has very limited features. It only allows you to change settings via wizards and furthermore, the latest firmware version doesn't support VPN (!). Whilst the service is excellent, there's no point paying for a 24Mbps connection if your router isn't up to scratch.

I'll be writing a post soon with instructions on how to do this along with a brief review.

Watch this space.
