【ENCRYPTED DNS WITH CLOUDFLARE】DNS over TLS is a security protocol for encrypting and wrapping Domain Name System (DNS) queries and answers via the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data via man-in-the-middle attacks.
【SEPARATING PRIVATE WIFI AND GUEST WIFI】A guest Wi-Fi network is essentially a separate access point on your router. Your home devices are connected to one point and joined as a network, and the guest network is a different point that provides access to the Internet, but not to your home network. This could increase security for your network.
Customer Reviews
I recently took the GL.iNet GL-A1300 Pocket VPN Travel Router on a cruise with Carnival, and it performed exceptionally well for my family. Here's a detailed review based on our experience:**Pros:**- **Great for Travel:** This router is incredibly compact and easy to carry, making it a perfect travel companion. Its small size allowed me to easily fit it in my bag without taking up much space.- **Wi-Fi Sharing:** One of the standout features was the ability to connect to the ship's Wi-Fi and share it with multiple devices. We only paid for one device connection and used the router to provide Wi-Fi for the entire family, which was a huge cost saver.- **USB-C Powered:** The router is powered via USB-C, which is very convenient as it can be powered by the same charger used for most modern smartphones and laptops.- **Features:** The router comes with excellent features, including dual-band Wi-Fi, VPN capabilities (OpenVPN and WireGuard pre-installed), and network storage options. The setup was straightforward and user-friendly, even for someone who isn't particularly tech-savvy.- **Security:** With features like a VPN internet kill switch, VPN policies, and encrypted DNS with Cloudflare, it provides a robust layer of security, which is essential when using public Wi-Fi networks.**Cons:**- **Wi-Fi Repeater Strength:** The only noticeable downside was the speed drop-off when using it as a Wi-Fi repeater. While this is somewhat expected, it can still be a bit of an inconvenience if you're trying to maintain higher speeds.- **No Built-in Battery:** Although it's powered via USB-C, having a small built-in battery would be a nice addition for times when you don't have access to a power source. However, this isn't a major issue as long as you have a portable charger.Overall, the GL.iNet GL-A1300 is a fantastic travel router that offers great value for its price. Its compact size, ease of use, and rich feature set make it a must-have for frequent travelers. The slight speed drop-off in repeater mode is a minor inconvenience compared to the overall benefits it provides. Another feature I would appreciate is if the USB C port doubles as power and an Ethernet port so I could just plug it into my MacBook and have the same cable power the router and have a wired internet connection.
