I will be located in a country where the Internet is EXTREMELY controlled and filtered. Not sure if I can even bring my current router with me(seems forbidden), so turning my RPi4 seems a good idea… Don’t you think?

    I don’t think it’s usual to forbid bringing hardware. And in some (many?) internet-restricted countries VPNs and things are also not illegal of themselves, and still less punishable normally. Because practical reality is foreigners have a variety of reasons for circumventing restricted internet and the state’s interest is mostly in restricting their own citizens.

      Depends on the hardware… Copy machine is forbidden for example.

        Wow. That could be a hangover from laws to stop independent printing press and newspaper. I’ve come across that once.
