Would this be good for something like connecting the Pi to a VPN for say Canada, then broadcasting an SSID for it.
Then connecting a Fire TV Stick or Chromecast to this AP, and tricking it into letting you stream Canadian Netflix or DAZN etc.

Also, we have the same "content can't be offered here by Netflix because the local IP license has been bought out by a different owner" problem that the US and many other places does; but in Canada's case, most of those local IP owners are conservative dinosaur media companies, who either haven't managed, or haven't bothered, to set up their own alternative streaming services yet. They just... hold the licenses, doing nothing with them. Hoarding them, like a dragon. So there are many shows you just can't stream in Canada at all, no matter who you're willing to pay.
If you can use Ethernet (e.g with a dongle on the Fire stick) and turn all the device radios off then there are less inputs available for the device to determine it's location.
Untrusted Wifi > RasPi Client > OpenVPN > AP
How would you go about routing the VPN device between client and AP?
edit: Now that I think about it, what's the difference between using the Pi as an AP and using it as a DNS server?
