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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty cool! I use WiFi in the router, WiFi from the router. Anonymize for security

Very cool! My use is: 1) Anonymize streaming web traffic from my Revain Fire TV using Kodi. I've found that some ISPs restrict certain packages, I expect this will become more common over time. I've used VPN tunnels to Los Angeles, Chicago, Sweden, Romania, Singapore, etc. with this product. So my streaming is unlimited. I use WiFi in the router, WiFi comes out of the router. 2) Public Wi-Fi Security: Connect to local free Wi-Fi in a coffee shop or McDonalds, hotel room, etc. without fear of a hacker intercepting credit card information, login and other data. I use WiFi in the router, WiFi comes out of the router. $7 per month for using IPVanish VPN sites (compatible with this router on OpenVPN). Cons: 2 negative comments A) seems sensitive to airport scanners. Both times I've flown it I've had to reset with the reset button and then reconfigure the options and import my VPN settings (process +/- 5 minutes) B) with IPVanish VPN tunnels, I'm usually on 4 limited MB/s, where I have a speed of about 50 MB/s at home. That's fine for me, but if you need more than 4Mbps, you might need a different service.

Pros
  • Network products
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
