"If you're carrying around an additional piece of network filtering hardware, you might as well just run the VPN client on that, too."

Perhaps - and of course that point is well taken.

However, if the hardware device is complicated enough to actually run the VPN then you are back to wondering how it can fail, who can attack it and how things can accidently go around it.

Not so with a slug - it is a dead simple bridge that can't be seen on the network.

I assume you mean wired, then? So, for the usual connection of laptop on wifi, there would be an ethernet dongle, to the slug, to a wifi client bridge? Three external devices?

If you meant wifi, do you have configs available or hardware you recommend?
