Maybe this will help you:

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!
If I'm not mistaken you can also install openwrt on those devices, I don't know if they come with other custom firmware out of the box.
About the type of VPN, wireguard is much faster and easier to configure than OpenVPN, but yes, both are good ;)
The idea is that each user takes his necessary hardware and installs a suitable OS that allows many configurations and upgrades and personally I think there is more variety in MikroTik than in GL.inet:
I would very much like to do more testing with other hardware.
We continue to contribute ;)
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.
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 ;)
Speed tests...
It all depends on your connection, your VPN service, the distance, etc...
But it is not bad to get about 300Mbps symmetrical in almost any location, even much more.
The advantage of being able to connect several mobile devices to a new wifi network with VPN is very convenient.

-pfsense is a good option, but you will need specific hardware for it, several network interfaces, etc. If you value consumption, maybe this is not the best option to start with.
If you need something specific, put it in the comments and we will look for it ;)

-pfsense es una buena opción, pero necesitaras hardware específico para ello, varias interfaces de red, etc. Si valoras el consumo, quizás esta no sea la mejor opción para empezar.
Si necesitas algo específico, ponlo en los comentarios y lo buscamos ;)
Thank you for your guides from which I have personally learned a lot and shared. It's an honor that you responded ;)
