Can anyone recommend a good travel router? I’m planning on using my TorGuard streaming IP on it with my PS4. It will be connected to my current home network.
I’ve always had good luck with the GL.INet range of routers as they are small, easy to use, cheap and work but have been a while since I’ve used one.
I’m using the GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2. Works pretty well with OpenWrt and WireGuard and everything.
Question about Netflix VPNs? Have you checked out the Wiki? https://www.reddit.com/r/NetflixViaVPN/wiki/index.

I was looking at the GL-AR750. Might be the way to go.
I have the GL-AR750 and use it when traveling in Vegas. It’s OpenWRT based, so it’s pretty robust and you can get WAN access thru the WAN port, WiFi, a USB modem, or a tethered phone. You can even have concurrent WiFi clients and hosts on the same band (i.e. connecting to “UnsafeHotelWiFi” as a client for internet access on 2.4Ghz while also running “PlzDon’tHackMe” for your personal network on 2.4Ghz AND 5Ghz)
It has OpenVPN and other common protocols built in, IIRC. And I think it even has zerotier if you want to give that a shot. I’ve used that in the past as it can route over 443, though setup can be qwirky. It also has a tor package, though I have no experience with it.
Lately, I use an OpenVPN tunnel from the router to PriTunl on a $5/mo VPS and it works pretty solid. The most annoying part is you have to drop the VPN to log into the hotel networks sometimes, though I have built bypass rules for some hotel chains. Not a huge deal and it’s nice to be able to have my computer, phone, and Chromecast on on a private-ish, protected-ish network (nothing’s perfect!). I have also setup PiHole as the VPN’s DNS to take the load off the router. It also lets me have adblock on all of my devices as I VPN direct to the server when not on the AR750.
I would definitely buy it again or it’s big brother, the GL.iNet GL-AR750S-Ext, that has gigabit ports and adjustable antennae.
Not affiliated in anyway, just happen to use one regularly!
Cheers!
EDIT: added the tor package link.
