I now have my ActionTec router that Verizon gave me with my FiOS set to use my OpenWRT router as the DMZ Host. So far, so good. The only major "problem" so far is that if I portscan myself, all of the ports that I am not running services on show up as "closed". The ports I run services on and a few others drop the packets on the floor and show up as "stealth". I need to figure that one out but at least I'm connected through a secure connection now. I tried turning the ActionTec into a bridge but it doesn't seem to be worth the trouble. My bandwidth seems to be about the same with this config. The bridging methods I've seen appear to be a real PITA as you have to reset some things after power failures etc. Not worth it to me at this point.
Update: Quick tweak to a couple of lines in my firewall config on OpenWRT and everything is as it should be once again. grc.com reports my router is totally stealth.
