I got one of these last April. I have taken it on a few trips and it has been a major improvement on our travel and using hotel internet. We have Unifi home network equipment and I set up my home gateway to act as a VPN endpoint and have this point to our network when on the hotel internet. Then all of our DNS queries and everything pass through our home Pi-Hole.

It's helpful for privacy, but we aren't doing anything major when traveling typically. What's really nice is the on-the-go ad blocking through Pi-Hole no matter where we are or what device is connected. And it's using the ad blocking lists I have curated over the years for our Pi-Hole, so it beats just trying to use a separate service/addon on each device we take with us.

They have definitely come a long way on the firmware stability and passing along captive portals.

According to camel3x it is the lowest price. The last time it was this price was in October.
You can just search slickdeals and see that it's been cheaper before your post.

While I don't have this specific router, I wanted to give a shout-out to GL inet in general. I've had one of their cheaper models (GL-SFT1200 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N72FMH5) for a couple of years now. I use it during family travel to avoid connecting every device (multiple ipads, phones and kindles) to hotel wifi network. All my devices are configured to connect to the GL inet's SSID. I just connect the GL inet router to hotel network, and all devices go online right away. If the hotel network is slow, I can do this with my phone's network as well. It is very easy to configure VPN clients (for services like PuereVPN) too. The model I have is only $30 right now at Amazon. It might be enough if hotel wifi is your primary access mechanism.

Highly recommended.

Does anyone know how to get this working with a Unifi UDM Pro to VPN back home?

You'll need to configure the VPN on the Unifi device as a server. Then, you'll need to connect to it as a client with the router in it's settings. The VPN should allow you to create a privatekey that you share and import into the router to set up the VPN. I would check the Ubiquiti documentation on how to do this. I didn't know if you're device supports Wireguard, but that's the latest recommended protocol. Otherwise OpenVPN will do the trick.

Had my travel router for a little bit and used it for two work trips. It works really well for my needs and I was able to connect it to hotel wifi and set up the free Proton VPN service for privacy. Once I do that at my hotel, I just connect all of my devices to the router and I have a private connection.

I used it the same way with Tailscale and it's absolutely wonderful.

I don't have this device yet but if you haven't setup your VPN Server in your settings yet you should definitely do so.

Setting > VPN > VPN Server > UDM Pro

In Client > Add New you will create and profile and download that so that you can copy over to the beryl to apply for the wireguard and don't forget to save it.

On other notes you may want to update your DnS server to manually hit adguard or whatever you might be running at home if your main router isn't already pointing to something else.

(I should add do one client profile per device cleaner and easier to delete them)

Can you explain why? I've done some research and it seems beryl ax is superior except for EAP
Beryl now includes EAP as well, as of the 4.7 firmware. Slate WAS better, now it's hard to justify unless you specifically need the faster Wireguard speed or SD slot.

Bought it a couple days back at the original price. I originally had the Mudi that has it's own battery, supports SIM cards, storage card, and can do Nas. Suddenly the nas capability was removed and I couldn't use it for my purpose anymore. Beryl AX fixed the nas issue but we have to use more effort to integrate 4G support.

I actually prefer the older $20 Shadow/Mango devices for travel. Sure, they are 802.11n only but most hotel/plane/ship speeds are trash anyways and the Shadow/Mango is 1/2 the size and runs off a USB power bank all day.

Not this model specifically, but I bought an sft1200 model and they have issues keeping a connection at times when you have overlapping APs emitting the same ssid. It'll reconnect after a minute or two, but still kinda annoying. Hopefully this particular model doesn't have that issue

I've been using this router for van life for a couple of years and it's solid. I run vanilla OpenWRT and the location that it's in gets warm/hot at times (in a cupboard) and it keeps on trucking.

Does this have in-built fire wall and/or ad-block?

Needed a device to login to a Xfinity hotspot (free if you have Xfinity as an a internet provider) at work- to create a private access point with password.

Bought the GL.iNetsft1200 on sale a few months ago. I was unable to make a Xfinity Hotspot as a private hotspot. I tried all the recommendations I found online. I found it too complicated trying to set it up. I now use it as a wifi repeater at home.

I then bought a TP-Link AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router(TL-WR902AC) and successfully created an Xfinity Hotspot at work- making it a private access point for my laptop, and two smartphones simultaneously. It is very easy to set up.
