Few thoughts on the Mudi:
*Supports out of the box OpenVPN and Wireguard Server and Client and with the latest firmware TOR client.
*VPN access on/off can be controlled by a physical on/off switch. So you could connect to the Mudi WiFi "normally" and when you want to you can flick the switch to turn on the VPN.
*Via the web interface you can switch VPNs. I have a Wireguard client back to my home router server for security and Australian internet access but also have 3 OpenVPN countries setup on Nord/Pure for geographical VPN. It's easy as dragging a CFG file into the interface to setup and the web interface lets you change between them
*One thing that isn't mentioned is the security implications on connecting to an open network. You end up with your own firewalled, subnetted network (This is why Chromecast will work on a hotel captive portal network)
*Only has 1 LAN/WAN port as standard but you can add another via USB-C replicator
*Because it's OpenWRT based you can add any of the packages out of the OpenWRT repository. I have run VPNS, AdBlock, Transmission Torrent downloads to the USB stick connected etc
*It can also be used as an AP or repeater. Handy because of it's size
*Full LUCI interface can still be accessed outside of the Gl.iNet wrapper
*If you're on holidays with the family you can configure all your devices to attach to the Mudi and as you move from free WiFi to free Wifi you don't have to reconnect all their devices just the Mudi once. You can put a USB stick on it to share music/movies/photos (or in a car, or on a plane) even without an internet connection or us the micro SD Card Slot
*Because the router presents itself as a device to the network, and all connected devices to the Mudi present as the Mudi (if that makes sense), gets around restrictive WiFi networks where you can only have a limited number of devices. Useful too if you're paying for per device.

  • Wow both look like cool devices. Has anyone had any experience with the Brume? Looks ideal for my home setup. Seems really similar to the SG-1100 from Netgate which is $300+ locally. I wonder if it can run pfsense…

    • +1

      Brume is the one product I haven't really spent a lot of time with. Just really used as a Wireguard Server attached directly to my FTTN connection to see if it worked. Didn't even do any performance testing compared to my normal B1300 Wireguard server/router.

      It appears you can load pfsense on Ubuntu so I assume you could load Ubuntu instead of OpenWRT and load pfsense?

      Maybe ask on the gl.inet forum.

      • Actually I take that back, just properly read the article and it's running on a VM on Ubuntu…..

        Sorry my linux skills are…. low :)

        Still you could ask on the forum :)

  • is there a link for the other product?

    Can't find using Brume MV-1000 in the search link

  • +1

    It is cheaper from their website https://store.gl-inet.com/pages/mudi-gl-e750-4g-lte-privacy-…
    Only $240.00 including shipping and you can apply discount code "GLFANS5OFF" to bring price down to $235.00

    • Appears to be in USD?

      • Correct, their website as default is USD so $240USD with EP06 (so $385AUD shipped with the $5USD off)

  • Hi OP, any chance of getting the the GL.inet GL-AR750S-EXT (Slate) Travel Router on sale soon?

    • Was talking to them earlier in the week.

      Stock levels at Amazon AU are low and shipping times are slow :(

      There will be something soon, but can't tell you exactly what or when :(

      Sorry.

      • No worries mate.

        Looking forward to hear back from you.
