Cisco E900 & DD-WRT

[DHR]

I have Cisco E900 currently running Tomato by shibby. It's been pretty much rock solid for 6-12 months but with version i'm running being vulnerable to the heartbleed exploit I'm after upgrade.

The upgrade, reset all nvram, flash, reapply settings is going to be a major ball ache though.

I've been looking at DD-WRT and wondering whether I should make the shift. I've read that a few people have suffered from bugs using the platform though and that the upgrades to newer versions are still a pain with regard to resetting nvram, is that true? Also seen a few things kicking around saying that the E900 has a tendency to crash out and need rebooting with DD-WRT.

Torn between upgrading to the latest shibby build and feeling the pain of resetting all of my settings, or whether to make the move.

Heartbleed is nothing to worry about if that router has remote management disabled (e.g. no SSL access from the WAN).

That's what I initially thought but as far as I'm aware the OpenVPN side of things will be vulnerable won't it?


EDIT - Just done some reading and yes, it does appear that OpenVPN is hit by the exploit so it does need patching
