You used to be able to buy dual USB cables for the scenario of needing more power. If one port (such as the charging one) doesn't give enough juice, then connect to a second one as well.

Do you know if it's possible to get on the VPN from a Linux PC?

I wonder if Cisco's router on a stick will work, the ASAv?
https://blog.sanghera.me.uk/cisco-asav-vlans/
Cisco ASA not for the faint-hearted though and I'm not sure the above link is what you want, might get some ideas from it though....

+1 for
RPi+3g/4g usb stick
configure the pi's wifi module to accept ad-hoc connections and share the VPN connection.
Along these lines.

Some of the TPlink devices are either dd-wrt or tomato compatible. So you could pick one of those and make your own.

Those type of routers are more for a fall back in case the ADSL goes down they can still work over LTE.
I am resigned to the fact what I want doesn't really exist

In others words I dunno!!

I had one in Spain and it got a private IP and routed out to the internet via the telco's gateway, same with Three in UK.
