Since I work mainly with workstations, and rarely ever with laptops, is there a plan to bring something like Obscura to a router running DD-WRT or OpenWRT? Or would I have to get a full-fat router running OpenBSD/PFSense in order to hook Obscura into it?

If I get any kind of a VPN system, I would want it to cover the entire network with just a single installation. Targeting routers running open-source firmware would be a great next step after the three main desktop platforms.

Plus, this then allows Obscura to protect any manner of net-enabled device, regardless of installed OS. Even my HaikuOS systems would be protected that way.

My second question involves roaming devices, such as phones -- will there be a mechanism in play that would allow a phone to recognize a “friendly” or “home” network, and disable its own Obscura install in favour of force-redirecting all network communication through the home Obscura? Or would it simply default to running Obscura-within-Obscura?

My last question involves multiple households: is there any plan to provide a bridging solution between multiple households, so they effectively appear like one giant network with a shared Obscura bridge to the Internet? The point being, I have services on my own home network that I would like to share out to my parents and my brother, which is very doable with a home-built VPN, but I also want a VPN that is a lot like Obscura to protect everyone with regards to direct Internet communication.
