Best Router for Security

Hi everyone,

 

I'm looking to buy a new router. My price range is between $0 (haha) and $200 but willing to go higher if there is some crazy security feature. I'm looking for the best router for VPN, network attached storage and obviously the basic router features. Mostly, I just want the router with the best security features available on it. 

 

Thank you!

any recently made router will have the latest security features

if you need heavy ddos protection then youre going to need to spend several thousand dollars more

Get a dell optiplex 760 or something for 20$ then spend 20 and get a second NIC and put pfsense on it. Best router u can get.

 

Put any money left over into an access point.
