'Four years ago, in the wake of some controversy over another
Kickstarter-based launch, a team in Ireland decided to produce a
better Wi-Fi router for travel privacy. Called the InvizBox, the
router was focused on making connecting to privacy-focused network
services such as VPNs and the Tor anonymizing network easier.

A lot has happened since then. And now, InvizBox has released a new
iteration of its wired Wi-Fi router, the InvizBox 2. Two years ago,
the InvizBox team achieved its crowd-funding goals to move ahead with
this design. After a long road, that funding has finally paid off.

Totally open source, bundled with a VPN service capable of delivering
up to 100 megabits per second of traffic (your broadband willing), and
painless to configure, this little disc-shaped router is powerful
enough to be a primary home router—or it can be used on the road when
plugged into a potentially unfriendly local network to tunnel users
out to safety. The router can also be used in concert with InvizBox
Go—a mobile Wi-Fi router with VPN capability—to create a safe tunnel
back to your home network. The base price for InvizBox 2 is $99, but
there's a discount available right now for orders through the InvizBox
site.'
