I bought a TP-Link Archer C5 a while ago, the main reason being that
OpenWRT is well supported on it. I've been happy with it, although I've
never used it as a VPN endpoint.

There are plenty of people with Archers on the OpenWRT forums if you
need help. If you take a look at those forums there are quite often
threads on recommendations of routers for OpenWRT with plenty of useful
information.
