Exactly, it’s all just smoke and mirrors.

"Hey, look over there while I do something under the table“

Unbelievable but true.

Thanks for the link.

In all my travels, in all the cafés, libraries, hotels and co-working spaces I’ve used around the world, never have I seen anyone pull out their own router.

I’m not dismissing it’s potential or usefulness, I just think that for me to avoid adverts and to connect to a few streaming services from weird locations it might be a bit overkill.

💯 This is absolutely true. I’ll look at Proton. Thank you so much

Appreciated, however I’m down to a 45 liter carry on bag now and I literally have no space to carry my own router around.

Much appreciated, thank you!

I travel full time, so I don’t have my own internet connection.

Like I said it will be unpopular, but it’s about to expire anyway.

A more helpful response would be to recommend an alternative

Probably not a popular choice, but my VPN comes with an ad blocker which works great.

I’m still using Nord VPN as I got an insane deal a few years ago. Now it has something called Threat Protection which blocks all ads whether on my desktop browsers or on mobile.

✨Edit to add: Yeah down vote me. Nord was a blackfriday deal from 3 years ago. Much has changed since then.

I travel full time and I’m now in the market for a new VPN provider. I don’t have my own router… I don’t even have a home.

Instead of just down voting, perhaps come with some constructive ideas or suggestions, thank you! ✨
