Cute. I’ve resorted to taking a tiny OpenWRT router with me on trips to do pretty much the same (intend to switch to WireGuard on the next trip).

Can you provide more info about your setup?

These travel routers [0] [1] support OpenWRT and/or Wireguard, as client and server. They also support connectng to captive portal WiFi networks so they're perfect for travel.

Sure, it’s a NeXX 3020: https://openwrt.org/toh/nexx/wt3020

I have two of them, and use one as a Wi-Fi client/NAT/VPN gateway/ad blocker when I’m at customers and some hotels.

Setup is pretty trivial, you can do a lot with LuCI and the OpenWRT packages.
