The open source GaleForce project lets you root Google Wifi
Google Wifi came out last year to join the increasingly competitive mesh router market. It has a competitive price compared to the competition, and we found the performance to be solid. It might be nice if it had a few more features, though, right? That's where the GaleForce project comes in. You can use GaleForce to tweak your Google Wifi and gain root access, but it's not for the faint of heart.
Google Wifi is based on Chrome OS, but many of the config files and blobs for the device (code name Gale) are not in the open source code. So, you can't just build Chrome OS from source and run it on Google Wifi. GaleForce modifies the system, keeping the device's router capabilities intact and also allows you to make deeper changes. Want to set up a built-in VPN? Done. Change the gateway IP? Also doable.

You can root your Google Wifi router, but you'll need a screwdriver
There's an open-source project on GitHub called GaleForce which allows you to customize your Google Wifi router, as spotted by Android Police. Under the hood, Google Wifi is running a version of Chrome OS Linux. GaleForce (Google Wifi's hardware codename is "Gale") lets you run a VPN server, customize your gateway IP address, or do any other system admin sort of thing that Linux makes possible.
