D-Link tells users to trash old VPN routers over bug too dangerous to identify (https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/20/dlink_rip_replace_router/): - DSR-150 (EOL May 2024) - DSR-150N (EOL May 2024) - DSR-250 (EOL May 2024) - DSR-250N (EOL May 2024) - DSR-500N (EOL September 2015) - DSR-1000N (EOL October 2015) And if you think that something more expensive, like Fortinet or PaloAlto, will save the day, you're wrong. >:D |

It sucks, but the newest of those devices was released almost 15 year ago. There is only so much practical support you can provide. At some point if you require infinite support time for $200 device, it would make no financial sense to sell them. So, you either have to accept some sort of a subscription or just update the hardware every 10 years. |

Why even bother with store grade routers ? At least for tech literate crowd there are devices like OpenWrt One Router (https://docs.banana-pi.org/en/OpenWRT-One/BananaPi_OpenWRT-One). Or a simple DIY Raspberry Pi ? My old D-Link from 2006 is enrolled in botnets within a very few minutes of exposing it to internet. Came with a dumb backdoor int it (as far I can remember: set some hardcoded keyword in user agent request to webserver and anybody gets in). |

Edit: I find cheaper boards now but still not cheap. |
