- My wife and I travel with multiple devices (laptops, phones, Chromecast...) and when we get to a hotel/Airbnb, I simply connect my Beryl AX to their network (it deals with captive portals btw) and all of our devices automatically connect.
- I changed the `/etc/hosts` directly in the router, meaning I can test my local servers under custom domains easily on my other devices like phones/tablets without apps like SquidMan.
- I route specific domains through specific VPNs. Government websites, streaming websites, AWS services, etc.
- I can plug in a 4G USB modem into it and it can automatically fallback to it if the main connection drops.
- It has built-in Tailscale support.
Edit: it's not 4s anymore, I just measured with the latest version and it takes ~900ms. Insane.

A nice side-effect of it all is that many credit cards are offering great rewards without any annual fee. I get year-round access to VIP lounges at any airport here, car/travel insurance AND cashback/miles for $0, it's a very different scenario from say 5 years ago.

1. Ye, it'd be great if I could configure it to do 2FA on all online transactions. Does anyone know what exactly triggers 2FA?
2. I have an account with BTG Pactual (Brazil) and their virtual card gets a new CVC after each transaction, pretty cool.
They're working on an offline version now, we'll see... that'd be amazing.
All in all, I'll keep using credit cards for security (Pix transactions can't be disputed) and miles.
