Since the recent firmware update r3.8.24-R-1531355-PROD-1 Windows in now seeing my Smart Hub Pro as an OpenWrt router and Norton is suggesting I turn on my VPN due to security risks of the OpenWrt router. Is this anything to be concerned about?

I'd be very surprised if it is. My money would be on something to do with UPnP, which now appears to be working on the Pro following this latest update.
I have fairly jaded opinions when it comes to security software like Norton, and rarely put a lot of faith in what it's telling people.
Do you have any screenshots? Is there anything that expands/provides more detail on what it's actually grumbling about?
The BT/EE firmware is built on OpenWrt so that aspect isn't too concerning.
