My corporate VPN wouldn't connect to same public IP after 24 hours (I work from home). So I wrote a very crude bash script on Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (which also runs local DNS server), which would telnet into the router 5 minutes before my login time, and reboot the router

I had a router that would need to be restarted every once in a while, so I just plugged it into a Christmas light timer to go off for 15 minutes early every morning. Worked well until we left that apartment.
