If my DIY gigabit VPN guide is too expensive and complicated for your tastes https://blog.lopp.net/how-to-protect-your-home-network-with-a-gigabit-vpn/
Then check out this new $100 router that should be able to achieve 500 Mbps: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ax1800/
Can also recommend Belkin RT3200 with openwrt. Wifi6 and super fast. Got it below 100 ...
Thank you. Ordered one.
That's a great VPN protection wifi for your home. Just bought one.

Only super fast with wireguard? Isn’t that protocol less private?
I went with the unbranded version of the protectli hardware from aliexpress and then flashed it with coreboot and installed pfsense. It works flawlessly but was quite a learning experience moving from a crappy standard broadband router.
Can you please tell me which unbranded model you used and how did you get coreboot on it?
Great recommendation overall!
I need to investigate this in more detail, but I'm currently nomading, so it doesn't make much sense for me specifically. I'm more looking for a small device that I could use as local media 'n' stuff server that connects to whatever wifi and that all my devices use by default.
There is a mobile router by same company for normads https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-axt1800/
It is not as strong as the home router but has all the functionalities.
That's intriguing. I'm thinking about it in combination with https://www.amazon.com/MeLE-Quieter3C-Computer-Function-Industrial/dp/B0B74KLMWQ as media server. That would still be quite portable.
The $100 router has a built in VPN?
It has a built in VPN client and server. Client for you to connect your home to a VPN provider or your on VPS. Server for you to connect your mobile devices to your home when you are traveling.
I bought this router recently. It's really good.
Seems like a good way to be sure guests get routed through a VPN. Now to figure out how to disable their 4G/5G connections when in a specific geolocation and force them through the VPN...
This is great, thank you. Thoughts on the Firewalla gold as a simpler approach?
