Among other features WireGuard has roaming mode, it's fantastic for mobile devices. Just try it, it's easy and quick!

In my experience the problem with roaming mode is it blocks the login page for wireless networks. IE: in a coffee shop. Maybe that's been fixed recently, but it was a giant PITA in the past.

You could run a portal login helper in a network namespace that doesn't go through the vpn. https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/...

I suppose because of DNS servers. Shops give you own "correct" dns for showing you adds on any first request.

You can use iodine for those wi-fi hotspots that charge for access. It tunnels TCP-over-DNS

I never even thought about using a DNS based tunnel for this problem. Amazing.
