Thanks a lot.
I have a few questions:
- Does this still require the main ISP Router to work?
This test is to have it as a secondary router connected to your router. You could use it perfectly well as a main router, even if you have FTTH you can connect it through an ONT such as the 'Alcatel G-010G-P'. It all depends on how your connection is
- Is MikroTik recommended, or can I use other routers like Xiaomi?
If you have the opportunity to try MikroTik I recommend it, there are no limits in the configuration and you will have many updates
- What is the watt consumption?
I'm no expert on this, but the specs are: DC jack input Voltage 12-30 V Max power consumption 21 W Max power consumption without attachments 16 W PoE in input Voltage 18-28 V
- If I use Proton VPN, how can I easily change to a different country or make other configurations easily?
I think if you use a free service like ProtonVPN you don't get configuration data for Wireguard, I haven't used it in a while but I think it was APP only.
Thanks ;)

Not worth for me. Having an extra router (which can cost a lot to buy), plus 21 W is quite high for a device that will be running 24/7/365. I have ProtonVPN premium, but i don't see how can i easily change VPN configurations with no Proton VPN app UI.

Regarding the consumption you have equipment that works with 5V, which even allows you to have a great portable tool, even with LTE modules.
In order not to increase the consumption you could change it for your current router (I do not know which one it is) choosing the hardware that suits you best.
Some devices can also lower the processor frequency to lower their consumption in a very easy way.
About the VPN service try to contact support because I do not know if it is possible to manually configure your service with wireguard.
Thank you very much.

Maybe this will help you:
https://protonvpn.com/support/wireguard-configurations/
I think it is necessary to have a Premium account. In the link there is a WireGuard configuration with the necessary data to be able to import by changing the variables that I put in the script.
Any doubt you tell me!

Invizbox router is miles away easier to setup for Proton VPN.
