Hi all,

I am travelling soon to the US, for my vocation and as a long-time private person I will be taking some steps to maintain my privacy as I enter the country.

As this is an interesting area of the topic, I have decided to throw the question open to all of you.

What precautions (IT, physical, mental, otherwise) do you undertake when travelling internationally?

M.

    DD-WRT is fairly easy to set up and has VPN support. I recommend using Wireguard as opposed to OpenVPN due to efficiency, ESPECIALLY WITH CHEAP WEAK ROUTERS.
    I mean, it’s a huge difference from my tests. With OpenVPN I hit 100% CPU usage on my Cisco Linksys WRT160NL at just 5Mbps. With Wireguard I was doing 25Mbps with just around 20% CPU usage (reported by top, not webUI).
