Taiwan is awesome. You still get a developed country but lots of mountains. Nice bus transportation though it gets super windy and nauseating around Alishan on those buses.

Could you try using Tailscale instead? It's simplified Wireguard and easier to use. No port forwarding!
What kind of speeds/latency is it providing? Just curious.
Averages like this are about as useful as internet speed averages for locations. It really doesn't help because all we care about is the details of the specific accommodation that we rent out. It's similar to the way a 5 Mbps avg download speed in some city in Mexico means nothing when I find an Airbnb in that same city that gets 100Mbps/100Mbps. It could be useful to see extremes I guess.
Just use a Raspberry Pi 4B? The GL-iNet routers don't even officially support Tailscale. It's still beta. So why trust it with hosting your exit node?
If you're not connecting via ethernet (yes, you can do this with an iPhone), then you're already exposing your location via Wi-Fi location data from receiving other networks around you.
Digital nomads don't want to share internet with everyone else, which is what happens in most hotels. Better to have your own router that no one else can use/stream from.
Yeah it does seem a bit expensive. Don't even look at the U.S. ones. Hopefully it will get cheaper though once he gets more hosts on board.
+1 for Orcapass. Great founder, too.
Check out https://thewirednomad.com. We're actually partnered with Flatio and have all of their listings that possess internet speeds. You can search by speeds and/or location, wherever you're interested in traveling in the world.
And then get hit with a currency conversion fee? Probably would come out the same as if you'd sold back home.
