Hey everyone,

I want to build a self-hosted stealth VPN back to my home network for when I travel. The goal is to completely mask the fact that I’m using a VPN at all, and reliably bypass aggressive DPI firewalls that flag standard corporate VPNs (like GlobalProtect) or block vanilla WireGuard and OpenVPN.

My Setup:

• Server: Raspberry Pi 5
• Client: GL.iNet
• Network: Static IPv4 address

Given my specific hardware, what is the best censorship-circumvention protocol I should host on my Pi 5 to ensure absolute stealth?

Hey all,

I’m not a networking expert, but I’ve narrowed my requirements down to the following:

1. A portable router that can be powered by a power bank
2. Tailscale support (to connect back to my home network)
3. Support for standard VPNs as well
4. Ideally some way to disguise VPN traffic to get around GlobalProtect detection/restrictions
5. My most demanding use cases will be Teams video calls and accessing VMs remotely

From what I’ve seen, the GL.iNet Beryl line seems to fit best. Would you agree? And if so, would you go with the Beryl AX or the Slate 7?

My understanding is that the Slate 7 has stronger WireGuard performance, which matters since Tailscale is WireGuard-based, but I’m not sure I’ll ever actually need those speeds. On the other hand, the Beryl AX seems more than sufficient for my use case.

Also… the Slate 7 color is kind of terrible. 😅

What do you all think?
