SG-1000 as secure Wireless / Hotspot?
-
First, sorry if this is the wrong place..
I'm curious if anyone is using the SG-1000 as a wireless bridge/VPN end point for use of protecting yourself while on Free Wifi at hotels / etc and or if anyone has has configured one with a 3G/4G modem to provide a hotspot with a hardware based VPN?
This is a nice looking box, I just wish it had wireless / Cellular support built in. The possibilities would be endless. Now I'm wondering if I can get a reliable setup using a wireless bridge plugged into the WAN port, and either a wire from LAN to a laptop, or ideally a small AP to provide wireless to multiple clients.
Thanks.
Edit: To be clear, I'd love to replicate this setup with pfSense: https://iadgov.github.io/goSecure/

Perhaps not what you're looking for but I've used my SG-1000 tethered, via the OTG port, to my Sony Xperia. Eventually I bought a short Micro-B USB to Micro-B USB cable for that.
I also tried it with a Sierra Wireless 4G hotspot (AirCard 706S) but it wouldn't work. Probably driver related.

I run one of my SG-1000 units with http://a.co/c2x0WsI connected via OTG for wireless and it works fine (well, as fine as wireless can work on FreeBSD/pfSense). AP and Client mode both work. That little wifi dongle gets HOT though. Fair warning.

Thanks for the help.
I'll consider these options. -
I'm using the IOgear GWU 637:

It's definitely not convenient, but I will keep trying until it's definitely confirmed as useless!
Less and less hotels these days with wired Ethernet, so I can't even use this normally…
