Would want OpenWRT if possible.
they don't have to decrypt the traffic to know it is a VPN connection... in fact, it is freaking obvious it is a VPN connection going to your server if you do openVPN or wireguard. they just decide not to block it since you server at home isn't big enough for them to register. the act of adding encryption isn't what made your connection possible. unless you do some fancy stuff like shadowsocks or shadowsocksR (SS/SSR), V2ray, Clash. those disguise your connection using HTTP/HTTPS/SSH ports, and you are utilizing a large pool of cloud sever providers as your connection points.
that said, if going over the firewall is all you want to do, keep in mind that just about anyone can get extremely cheap eSIM data that allows you to browse anything you want, and if you want to enhance privacy by adding IPsec, sure. but that IPsec isn't what allows you to go through the firewall. that's why if you use a US cell carrier that has foreign data plan, even if you are in China, your data is not subjected to firewall blockage, even if it is from the same domestic cellular provider (china unicome, china mobile).
i think the last i check was like 12 dollars for a 15G data, and 30 dollar for unlimited monthly data. just got a phone that accepts esim and run whatever vpn you want there. i have a travel router, but i felt for your use case, you better off with a cellphone that takes eSIM.

Logging into a captive portal, especially if you need to reauthenticate every 24 hours, gets real old if you travel with more that 1 device. it's also a real pain on devices like a Roku or fire stick or gaming devices.
I'm only on the road about 4-5 one week trips a year, but adding a mobile router to my setup was a game changer in ease of getting setup/settled and managing connectivity.
But those are differences where any new GL.Inet would be an improvement over your Slate. This Asus has the additional benefit that it's part of the normal Asus ecosystem so if you have an Asus primary router, you could use this as an AiMesh node at home, but then detach it to come on the road with you when you travel. This has identical hardware to the Beryl AX.

Most Android phones have hotspot capability built in. More advanced routing capabilities can be achieved if the device can be rooted, but a VPN or adblock needs an app at most.
