I use a similar model to this extensively.

1. Hotels where you have to pay a "connection fee" you only have to pay once

2. I travel with a chromecast that can connect to my private network

3. I run wireguard, so all my traffic back is automatically encrypted

4. I can position this to get a better wifi signal, "boosting" the signal (via my private network) for all my devices

Yeah especially when not travelling alone. Some places are really exploitative with this.

Drop the Starlink into bridge mode, use the Gl.inet in front as your edge router, have WireGuard/Tailscale/etc connections back to more permanent infrastructure.

Even without a SIM card itself -- Android and iOS devices will tether over USB, so you can tether your own phone directly in and share the connection to other devices as well when you don't want to mess with Starlink.
