I am looking for a compact travel router that I can use to always appear in my home country when I am travelling. This router should have a killswitch if the VPN is disconnected so as to avoid leaking my location.

This is a pretty esoteric question, so I’m super curious as to the responses you get.
I don’t have a recommendation, but I can maybe suggest an avenue to explore…
If you can’t find a router that does this out of the box, there are a few high-end custom firmwares you can get that can be used on MANY commercial routers that add extended functionality. The one I’m thinking of is called “dd-wrt”.
I strongly suspect you could get such a system set up on a router running that firmware… And I’d be surprised if a guide didn’t already exist for that.
An alternative to a router would be to build an intermediary device to act as a VPN tunnel so that neither the gateway OR the computer is aware. I’m imagining a raspberry pi, maybe with a second wifi dongle.
Interested in seeing what other recommendations you get!
