I considered OpenWRT at first, but right now I do not have the time, or the will, to start learning about the project. It sure looks like something I will probably do in the future, but as of now I just need a commercially available solution.
GL. Inet is a commercial product running OpenWRT in the background
FWIW you can buy OpenWRT based hardware, no tinkering, e.g. https://www.turris.com/en/products/omnia/
Openwrt is just as easy to use as any commercial solution, the one difference is that it doesn't come pre-installed on most hardware. Find the right hardware, and installation can literally be as easy as running a single command from the command line.
If you're trying to avoid reading documentation and messing around in settings, good luck finding a privacy-respecting commercial solution with secure defaults that's still simpler than openwrt's LuCI. And I mean that, good luck. Plwase share if you find something that works for you.
