Ubiquiti has another cool device: a little travel router that you can configure with WireGuard to VPN into your home network and make yourself safer while on coffee shop and airport wifi.

It is nice to be able to access your local NAS and LLMs while away from home too.

It is indeed nice to be able to access local things while away from home but a VPN isn’t making you meaningfully safer on public WiFi networks. They’re all using proper encryption over the air now, I can count on one hand how many coffee shop networks I’ve seen without client isolation, and anything that matters should be happening over TLS regardless which means at worst the network operator sees your DNS requests.
