Hey everyone. I saw that (while not available here in the U.S. thanks to a new dumb law) there is a new gl.inet travel router, the slate 7 pro, that promises vpn obfuscation.

I have heard of a vpn SERVICE offering "obfuscated servers" and decided to look into that a little more. I think this page does a good job on describing some of the basics for a newb like me on this topic. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/vpn/guides/vpn-obfuscation/

However, I don't see gl.inet spell out anywhere just HOW their HARDWARE is helping w/ obfuscation.

I am a (very, very) disabled person that spends much time in hospitals. I also like security and privacy (what a shock, I know). So travel routers (when I have the strength to set them up) appeal to me. I bought the prior travel router, the slate 7 (non pro). still in the wrapper. lol. hey, I'm disabled.

Is there something specific the slate 7 pro is doing that an existing travel router like the slate 7?

How about something I can set up on my home pfsense or Proxmox can also do, beyond choosing the servers w/i a "privacy vpn" that offer obfuscation?

And yes, I'm aware that "privacy vpn's" are not the end all be all that they'd like you to think they are.
