Away unit
Home unitEach pair is set up and tested end to end before it ships, so setup is plug in, sign in, go.
1
Plug it in beside your home router. That's its whole job.
2
Plug it in at the hotel or Airbnb and join its Wi-Fi.
3
Laptop, phone, TV stick, work computer — they all leave through your home internet.
Getting a home connection to work from the road once is the easy part. Keeping it reliable, and making sure your traffic never quietly falls back to the local network, takes careful engineering and constant testing. PacketMole delivers that work already done.
If the link home drops, traffic pauses instead of slipping out the hotel network.
Signed updates install overnight and roll back automatically if the unit isn't healthy afterward.
Designed for Starlink, T-Mobile and other 5G home internet, where home VPNs often fail.
PacketMole is a two-device hardware set — $349 one-time, free US shipping— that lets you keep your home IP address when you travel. A fanless GL.iNet Brume 2 stays plugged in at your home router. A pocketable GL.iNet Beryl AX travels with you. They're bound by an encrypted Tailscale tunnel, so your laptop, phone, and tablet on the road appear to be at home. No monthly subscription. No account with us.It's a pay-once alternative to KeepYourHomeIP, and it is designed to work on CGNAT-based home connections (T-Mobile Home Internet, Starlink, cellular, and some apartment networks), where do-it-yourself home VPNs that need an open port fail.
Why do-it-yourself home VPNs break
T-Mobile Home Internet. Starlink. Cellular hotspots. Some apartment Wi-Fi. These commonly put you behind CGNAT — carrier-grade NAT — which prevents the direct inbound connection many self-hosted WireGuard setups expect.
Tailscale can relay around that barrier.
PacketMole uses Tailscale, which can fall back to its DERP relay network when a direct path is unavailable. Actual connectivity still depends on both internet connections and the local network allowing Tailscale traffic. On a CGNAT connection, the public IP that sites see is your internet provider's shared address, which can change; it's the same address your devices get at home.
When the tunnel is connected and selected, internet traffic through the Away unit exits from your home connection. Services that use IP address see that home IP; they may still use GPS, device, account, or other signals.
To be clear, PacketMole isn't a privacy VPN — it makes you look like home, not anonymous, and your traffic still exits through your own home internet. How they differ →
No monthly fee, no annual fee — you own the hardware outright. KeepYourHomeIP adds $96/year on its annual plan at our dated USD snapshot, and a paid VPN keeps billing you for as long as you use it; PacketMole is one price, paid once.
We never see your traffic. We don't host your tunnel. It's your home network and your devices — we just sell the hardware that connects them.
