> [@ninabretina](#): > > I thought the whole purpose of these travels routers was that they are 100% leak free. 100% in IT is not really possible. Mostly never. They are pretty leak free, but it depends on different things. Using a repeater in a hotel is one of those things that might leak a few packages, mostly DNS. > [@ninabretina](#): > > I guess the best would be not take company laptop. I have that option. I can take personal laptop. Since no tracking software, then all company will see if that my public IP is consistent, then its ok? Just don't use your companies' laptop to enable the repeater mode and login into the captive portal. If you turn your laptop on **after** the router is connected to the hotel's Wi-Fi, all will be fine.

During portal authentication stage, generally you don't have any Internet. So your data is not leaked to the Internet. But once the portal authentication is finished and there will be a very short time you have Internet. Before vpn and vpn policies are enabled again, your data maybe be leaked. But this has been a big improvement than asking the user to disable vpn etc. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/gl-inet-gl-axt1800-for-travel-robust-vpn-config/47410)._
