PS: A lot of people buy these routers to hide their true location on their laptops which is impossible if you have WiFi on.
You need an ethernet connectiion to do that. With the previous version there were two ports for connecting two devices but you can't do that anymore. You can connect a travel switch but then it gets real cumbersome, real fast.

i'm considering replacing my home att fiber internet with this setup, but i pull down 2-3TB a month so i am pretty sure that would be flagged and i'd get flagged and kicked off the plan.
Was camping with starlink. The only way to get a signal was to put it at the far end of my campsite. Worked fine at my camper, but my friend on the next site over was just too far to get a reliable signal. Fired this up as an extender and it worked great. In fact we got a more stable signal at my spot using this than connecting to the starlink mini router.

You should know that just a VPN won't protect your location if the device can scan your local WiFi environment.
You need both, a VPN and disable WiFi

Only area of improvement would be if they supported more VPN clients (aka auto select fasted server, etc).
But that may be on the VPN companies. Looking at you Proton!
It just means I need to preload separate configs for a half dozen server IPs and manually flip if one gets congested.
I'm getting ready to move south of the border and work on dual residency which requires staying put for about two years, at which point I can move back and forth between countries with ease. In the meantime I plan to connect to a friend's US based router while logging into any bank and brokerage accounts. Any recommendations on a low cost/low power solution? Right now I'm thinking of connecting an older (and cheaper) gen pi running tailscale.
Earlier this year I stayed at a hotel that offered ethernet so I connected it there and was getting consistent 50mbps up & down. Wifi tethering was maybe 5-6mbps and more inconsistent.
The issue in most hotels is they offer free wifi, but limit the number of devices. You connect this and all of your devices now connected to your travel router instead of doing individual authentication on the network.
As a family of 4 who may travel with 2 phones, 2 watches, 4 tablets and maybe a laptop or two, this is a no-brainer.
Edit: Fixed
