Have been reading the guide on best ways to try avoid detection on the DN journey.
Option 3, the most secure mentions 2 VPN Routers from GL-inte to act as a server and the other to act as the client.
I’m also seeing an option with Flashed router which seems similar to the above:
Can someone clarify if they are both the same thing? Also if they are different, what option would you recommend to best go undetected?
Cheers!!

I use Gli net Beryl AX, I use multiple tab groups and log into tons of sites constantly because of numerous clients so its been awesome, barely any issues, except some places can tell I’m on VPN, but overall 100x better than without it (no issues with router functionality) especially using it for my computer, my phone etc. I use Wireguard with Mullivad VPN, Speed is just as fast as the internet on the original router. Using it now in Mexico. Solid purchase 
Zero times have I gotten caught up in Spanish Google or anything like that and it used to happen constantly when travelling. No issues with getting logged out of sites for having a foreign IP, always can easily log in to every site again. Able to watch Netflix, etc. Love it.
The only other thing I may have done differently is but a second one and set it up at my Mom’s house in the US, or get it ready to go, so I can use that (I don’t know the proper terminology) as a legit USA internet access point for login verifications etc. But I wouldn’t have needed it really except some issues with Paypal.
Yes, it’s the same thing. They’re just charging you more money for it to be (slightly) more “works right out of the box”. But GL-iNet routers are pretty easy to set up to do this same thing.
Also it looks like their routers only support OpenVPN, not even Wireguard, which could result in significantly slower internet speeds when you’re using your VPN.
Now that you’re aware OpenVPN is inferior and outdated, if you’re now curious about the differences between Wireguard and Tailscale I wrote a short article (5 min read) on it here.
My GL iNet Beryl supports Wireguard as well. I believe most or all models do.
e: a word

This was a huge point for me. Having spent years using OpenVPN, when I switched to a pair of GL-iNet routers using Wireguard. I actually thought my VPN wasn’t working at first it was so fast.
Super helpful, thanks! So flashedrouter only supports OpenVPN, that definitely would be a bit of a dealbreaker when it comes to speed.
Thanks for this 
tailscale = wireguard + convenience code
What situation would there be a firewall rule blocking Wireguard in a home wireless network?
Exactly. Please avoid these basically scam websites which many redditors have reported having issues with anyway. Doing it yourself is easy.
VPN server router: GL.iNet Brume 2
Travel router: GL.iNet Beryl AX

You may opt to use Wireguard or Tailscale or both!
The recommendation is Wireguard for maximum performance, but Tailscale is safest for compatibility reasons. It just works… no matter if CGNAT or not. I personally use both.
Yes, but the Mango is quite old and the max speed you’ll get from it using Wireguard is 45 Mbps. Whereas the Beryl AX is 300 Mbps.
A little more than convenience. It legitimately does more than bare Wireguard
