Some friends have safety concerns that mean they need to appear digitally as if they’re inside the USA while being elsewhere physically. Standard commercial VPNs are easy to detect (else I’d recommend Mullvad), so they need an option that looks like a residential connection.

They could potentially DIY it by leaving a VPN server at a relative’s house, but I’m asking here for subscription services. It’s best if they have a Mac OS app that’s foolproof, with a clear visual indication that it’s in use, and a feature to block traffic if the VPN is disconnected.

tl;dr: what’s the closest residential VPN to Mullvad?

    This is accurate but you don’t need a GL.iNet router to act as the VPN server at home, you just need any device that can act as the server at home.
