Sometimes surprises come when you least expect them. A few months ago, I helped an acquaintance install a #MikroTik router at his house. He is very happy with it; it does excellent load balancing and failover over 4G.
A little while ago, he sent me a message about how "Back to Home" helped him bypass the limited connection at the hotel he is currently in.
I hadn't tried it yet, so I did a couple of tests.
It's really practical and quick to set up. Well done, MikroTik! @mikrotik
