If you're serious about using a VPN, I strongly recommend getting an OpenWRT capable router and setting up your VPN there. Some benefits:
- It's physically impossible for your devices to bypass the VPN.
- It also works with devices that have poor or non existent VPN support (e.g. Roku, smart TV, etc.).
- You only have to configure it once vs having to configure it on all your devices.
- You can easily and quickly toggle the VPN by switching to a Wifi that doesn't have VPN setup.
I've been using GL.iNet's travel routers for many years and can't recommend enough (no affiliation other than being a customer). Just ordered their new Beryl router[0].
