This is off-topic and the only connection with CentOS is that the laptop will be running CentOS...
I am looking for a travel router/firewall for a number of reasons:
Protect against outside attacks when outside the office/home not relying on whatever protection the laptop/tablet/phone offers.
Allow for fast transfer for data between devices without being limited by the bandwidth of the hotel etc., even without being connected to the internet.
Allow for multiple devices even when the hotel etc. only allows one device to be registered.
The ideal device should:
Be small, ideally be able to be charged via a USB port.
Use open-source software that the user can update.
Allow the user to log on the device and set up the connection with the hotel etc. which often requires a userid and password to be entered on a browser page.
Allow using either a RJ-45 wired or wireless connection to the outside net.
Have at least two RJ-45 ports to connect a laptop avoiding WiFi.
Allow for VPN tunneling.
If anyone has suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated!
