Set up a WiFi hotspot for the Kobo to connect to, and set that to route via VPN either to a VPN server where you want it, or your own VPN.
I've got a Gl-MiFi hotspot which runs OpenWRT and a fancy GUI. And that connects via OpenVPN to my home TPlink TL-WR2543N which I've got OpenWRT and an OpenVPN server on.
That sounds like the sort of set-up I need. Would the Gl-MiFi be able to go directly to a proxy rather than using a VPN or would a VPN seem to be the only option?
A quick search suggests that Gl-MiFi is a 3G/4g device, or was it just something that ran OpenWrt easily?
