| Tailscale running in subnet router mode on a GL.iNet router comes close. You can setup Tailscale through the GL.iNet GUI but to have it also route traffic for everything over to your Tailnet you need to flip one setting via an ssh command. Not as convenient as this travel router sounds though, but comes close-ish for techies. (wish it didn't require that tweak via SSH. Maybe it'll be added) |

| Why do you think this would be difficult to do using openwrt? Wouldn't you just set up the travel router to have the same ssid and password as your home network and configure a wireguard tunnel from the travel router to your home network (that is if you want to be in your home network) |

| ▲ | anon7000 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Because manually configuring wireguard tunnels on random devices is a simple task for most people lol. Unifi’s whole stack is all about making powerful tools easier to use for people who don’t want to fuck around with networking. | | |
| ▲ | devilbunny 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Agreed. I use Tailscale (which the gl.inet devices support, because they're basically a pretty front end for OpenWRT, and it supports Tailscale) for my stuff, because I can do it and it's not a real pain to do, but you do have to know a bit at least about networking. This thing looks extremely promising for the "I know this should be possible and I want to do it but have no idea how" level of knowledge as well as the "I want to spend as little time as possible on configuring things" people. |

| ▲ | lostlogin 28 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | You’ve reminded me of a project I started and never got it working. A home network on a vpn to another location. So the usually ssid is in my home country, and another ssid is based somewhere else geographically. | |
| ▲ | shermantanktop 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | In a 1 bit environment (==single SSID visible), sure. But most of the time multiple SSIDs are visible, and correlate to each, making detection of abnormalities easier. And the lat/long is also visible to help disambiguate. | | |
| ▲ | gruez 18 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | I think OP meant the opposite issue of broadcasting "I live at 123 evergreen terrace" everywhere you go, because SSIDs are vaguely unique. | |
| ▲ | walterbell 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Would both the stationary and mobile instances of that SSID be visible on public databases like https://wigle.net? |
