Anyone run a VPN that you can setup as a tunnel on your router as opposed to a client on each machine? Was thinking about making a second wireless network and set it up so that any device connected to it went out a VPN.

I am pretty sure High Sierra works on HFS+, here's instructions on how to prevent conversion to APFS

Yes: https://osxdaily.com/2017/10/17/how-skip-apfs-macos-high-sierra/
“ you can always install on another drive and clone it back to an HFS+ drive. “
That too.

I had to upgrade to 10.13 because of 1Password - they don't support 10.12 with any version of their software and some update broke the browser plug in.
But due to old software I wanted to keep HFS+.
IIRC the new versions of 10.13 installer don't work with some of the instructions - but I had an old 10.13.1 installer around and that worked great and then I applied updates.

Biggest issue I've encountered is finding a router with enough 'power'
and the client warez that works with the VPN provider.
FastestVPN has good tutorial on setup for different brands. https://support.fastestvpn.com/tutorials/routers
I have a VPN client on my Synology NAS that works well w/ several services,
something my previous QNAP couldn't do on any!

Thank you for the link to Tunnelblick and the info on ProtonVPN.
I'll check those out.
I didn't realize that High Sierra could stay as an HFS+ disk.
That's great news for me.
I accidentally upgraded my MB 12 to HS and it's now APFS.
That's not a big deal so it can stay, though I assume (?) that I could reformat the MB's drive to HFS+ if I went back to Sierra.
But I'd definitely want the mini to stay HFS+.
