Review on 🌐 GL.iNet GL-AR150 White Mini VPN Travel Router: Wi-Fi Converter, OpenWrt Pre-Installed, High Performance, OpenVPN & WireGuard by John Mejia

Having bought other mini routers, the AR150 came as a very pleasant surprise. The GUI interface is clean, the instructions are simple, and the performance is very good. I use it to provide a secure OpenVPN tunnel in a hotel or public areas. The AR150 software does not support real-time interactive VPN connections. This means that when loading the OpenVPN configuration file, you will be asked for a username and password, which will be saved in the file. My VPN provider is set to multi-factor authentication. Without real-time interaction, it was not possible to enter a multi-factor prompt/input. So I switched from the GUI to the command line (SSH) only to find that similar to the GUI, there was no support for user interactions. After contacting GL support, an email conversation started and (in short) a version of the OpenVPN binary supporting multi-factor authentication was compiled. This is a great product and the support is even better. I highly recommend this product.
