security of OpenWRT vs Tomato? OpenWrt has a up-to-date Kernel. We try and be as safe as we can from first boot. We make you set your password to get up and running so no crappy passwords from the start. wifi is turnd off on boot so you don't get a unsafe wifi network with no security. The firewall is set up with a small rule set to be as safe as it can. The webinterface can be installed with https We have lots of packages to be even safer. BCP38, addblock, banip, dnscrypt, several proxy servers and dns over https.

I would not run Tomato? on a router in 2020 it runs with old Kernels and old packages.

Disclaimer: I am not a OpenWrt dev I just help out around the place like on Twitter forums PS if any one needs help pleas come to the forums we will help out as best as we can. Some people think that OpenWrt has devs that are not very tolerant. I can tell you that this is not true. there was a bug in LUCI the webinterface that made it hard to use with my screen reader I asked about it on irc and it was fixt in 3 hours.

Known issues:

  * Sysupgrade from ar71xx to ath79 and vice versa is not officially
    supported, a full manual reinstall is recommended to switch targets
    for devices supported by both ar71xx and ath79
  * Images for some device became too big to support a persistent
    overlay, causing such models to lose configuration after a reboot.
    If you  experience this problem, please report the affected device
    and consider downgrading to OpenWrt 18.06 or using the Image Builder
    to pack a smaller custom image
  * Some optional GUI packages crash with an error about missing
    "cbi.lua", install the "luci-compat"  package to fix these
  * Any outstanding issues reported at https://bugs.openwrt.org/

For people asking about the user interface of OpenWrt. I think it is very well dun. I get a long with it just fine and I am blind and have to use a screen reader. A11y in Luci is grate. All the pages make sence to most people you do not have to be a networking expert.

I run OpenWrt on my wrt3200acm. It runs grate, but I use it for routing only. I run 2 TP-Link c7 v2s as dumb APs for both 5 and 2.4 GHZ. The c7s are on OpenWrt to. The WRT3200acm does adblocking, runs BanIP and DNS over HTTPS. Plus some firewall rools and BCP38. I am very happy with OpenWrt and my setup! If you have a router that can run OpenWrt you should giv it a go. We have good forums and a irc channel. Even a twitter to help. https://twitter.com/openwrth?lang=en Happy flashing!
