Openconnect Server (ocserv) on Openwrt

I'd like to set up a VPN server on a router running Openwrt. There are several choices, L2TP, PPTP, OpenVPN and openconnect. PPTP is not very secure. L2TP must be used with IPSec for security. While OpenVPN and openconnect are both SSL-VPN. They are easy to configure and adaptive to the restrictions of ISP. Because there is a luci app for openconnect server. It's easier to set up than OpenVPN. I would set up an openconnect server, which operates in pseudo-bridge mode, meaning remote clients are on the same subnet as the computers at home.
