I have the following hardware in use:

• AVM Fritzbox 3370 with "Hynix" NAND flash memory as a plain stupid VDSL modem
• TP-Link Archer C2600 as the gateway router running Unbound, WireGuard etc.
• Hetzner Cloud CX11 vServer to have a static IP and tunnel traffic via WireGuard to my mailserver located in my LAN

In the following, I show the steps taken to setup above devices. Adjust accordingly if you use other hardware:

• ... as modem with Lantiq SoC, preferably with an up-to-date firmware
• ... as the high-performing gateway router, see OpenSSL and VPN benchmarks. Beware that wireguard doesn't make use of AES-NI due to its protocols and primitives.

Beware

I won't go into initial device flashing as this is already covered in the official docs. And, I assume that you check the integrity of all downloaded files with GnuPG, sha256sum etc. as you see fit.

Commands run locally (on my laptop) are shown as:

local $ echo local_command

... whereas those run on my modem, router and vServer are shown as:

remote $ echo remote_command

Further docs

Device-specific docs are stored in the subfolders modem, router and vserver.
