I just purchased a Beryl AX and a Brume 2. I plan on setting up wireguard server on the brume 2 at my home network and using the beryl ax as a client vpn router. I work using a company issued laptop. There seem to be two use cases from what I’ve read:

When at a remote location where I…

  • can physically manipulate the router managing the local wifi network (IE hotel room, airbnb, etc.), I plug my client vpn router directly into the router using an ethernet cable. Then, I connect my work laptop to the beryl supplied wifi network.

  • cannot physically manipulate the router managing the local wifi network (IE a coffee shop, lobby of a hotel, etc.), I plug my beryl ax directly into my laptop using an ethernet cable… thus all internet traffic in/out of my laptop goes through the vpn client (a gateway if you will) and then the client connects to the local wifi network

Are there any flaws in my interpretation?

    I never plug my VPN client router (also a Beryl AX) into my current location’s router. I always: connect my Beryl to local WIFI, verify it’s working, connect work laptop to Beryl via Ethernet.

    This is the safest and most convenient route 99% of the time
