So I have a Samsung TV that uses Tizen OS, which unlike an Android TV, is very limited with customization. I've been trying to figure out how to get the TV into my vpn and I discovered the Mango Router by GL.inet. It's basically a small travel router that allows you to use openvpn or wireguard to set up VPN. I figured this might be a good workaround to get my TV and other devices that don't support the mullvad client into my VPN. And if you're wondering why I don't just set up vpn on my primary router, I work from home and my company's systems trigger alerts when they detect logins coming from known VPN IPs, so I don't want to just pass all my traffic at home through my vpn. I'm also afraid of flashing my router and bricking it lol.
My question is, does anyone know if this use-case will work? I'll essentially set up mullvad on the Mango router (the docs say mullvad is supported), connect the Mango to my primary router, then connect any device that doesn't support mullvad to the Mango router. I'm aware of the potential degradation of speeds, but if I only use it for my tv, the Mango's 10/100Mbps ethernet speed might be enough if I hardwire everything.
Edit: I just saw in the documentation that the Shadow, the next model up from the Mango, has a maximum of 50Mbps for wireguard, which is I believe good enough for 4k streaming.
Thanks!
I believe I can set up static routes, but then I can't set up vpn on my home router without flashing it with openwrt first, which I'm trying to avoid.
