Title: small (mobile) wireless router solution
Post by: daanemans on April 25, 2017, 10:29:47 am
Hi all,

I opened a new topic as I was not successul  in finding an answer to my question.

I am looking for a small router capable of running OPNSense that I can use in a Hotel room.

When I am in a Hotel and want to use the local WiFi network.
I want a mobile router with its own WiFi network that I can connect to the local wifi network. The router then makes a connection via OpenVPN client on Wan port to my private Openvpn server and redirect the traffic.

My private clients are then safe throught my private connection, I dont have to setup openvpn connections per device/client and I can work around geo blocking.

Is this possible with Opnsense?

I found this: https://www.gl-inet.com/ar300m/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K6MHRJI/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

Its capable of doing what I want but openvpn throughput is limited to max around 10 mbit (based on forum posts)

I would like a little bit more, around 20 mbit throughput.

Is it possible with this router:

Thanks in advance.
