<p>Yes, google: "gl inet travel routers". 
Supports everything.<p>And this: <a href="https://www.gl-inet.com/products/compare/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gl-inet.com/products/compare/</a><p>I have about 5 of these at home, each configured at different subnet and VPN for different country. One i always take with me while traveling to securely connect   via shady hotel Wi-Fi's.<p>You can even go crazy with it - install ZeroTier directly in the router by typing few commands and access low-level config of the router from anywhere.</p>

<p>Have a separate small travel router with embedded VPN support to connect printer to Wi-fi hotspot with whatever region it wants to see.<p>It's not HP's or any other vendor's business to know where you are. This is an easy solution to this.<p>I have a few routers at home with a separate Wifi hotspot each configured for separate country to avoid exactly this nonsense for different services.<p>Advantage of this approach is you can travel with a small travel router all over the world while feeding each of the service with a consistent country location.<p>Added privacy is a benefit.</p>

<p>Already successful business will strengthen their presence with app but not through app.<p>App-based business models are recipe for disasters. 
Many horror stories of app banned because scammy competitor complained. Apple or Google won't care.<p>High app rating for new app is a sure sign of cloned app or scam.<p>I won't download 95% of apps if i see "includes in-app purchases".
Special purpose apps like "All Trails" or specialized aggregators/organizers that require lots of work to deliver - typically justify the cost.<p>Cute calculators that require recurring payments to disable annoying ads is complete nonsense</p>

<p>It sits between your router and your endpoints (computers, laptops).<p>It can connect directly via ethernet cable or broadcast it's own WiFi SSID's to which you can connect.<p>You configure it to always connect to VPN of your choice using OpenVPN or WireGuard protocols.<p>Then you may connect to this device SSID and your traffic always be routed via VPN connection.
This is way better, secure and more reliable than "VPN software" or "VPN apps" solutions.<p>Not sure if i answered your question?</p>
