I will be located in a country where the Internet is EXTREMELY controlled and filtered. Not sure if I can even bring my current router with me(seems forbidden), so turning my RPi4 seems a good idea… Don’t you think?

    Appreciate the detailed answer.

    You’re right, OpenWRT will not hide but let’s say protect my home computers from being monitored.

    Also, VPN is a must and need to figure out the best way to handle that.

    I don’t think they will forbid me to bring the Pi.

      I don’t think it’s usual to forbid bringing hardware. And in some (many?) internet-restricted countries VPNs and things are also not illegal of themselves, and still less punishable normally. Because practical reality is foreigners have a variety of reasons for circumventing restricted internet and the state’s interest is mostly in restricting their own citizens.
