Poll: Would you use the VPN server built in to a consumer-grade router to proved access to your home network?

I’m not very familiar with ASUS. I tried searching for info and found this:

ASUS USA

RT-BE58 Go|WiFi 7|ASUS USA

Compact WiFi 7 travel router with up to 3600 Mbps speeds, dual-band MLO, tri-mode connectivity, powerful VPN, Guest Network Pro SSIDs, and 24/7 AiProtection.

Which makes it sound like they are fairly serious about the VPN feature and intend for it to be used by small businesses.

And this says latest firmwares can use wireguard:

Official Support | ASUS Global

[Wireless Router] How to set up WireGuard® VPN Client in VPN Fusion? |...

This sounds relatively safe to me, as long as you are using the latest firmware and receiving security updates. I think I would recommend most people to use router’s version in this case.
