For mom, perhaps, but for a hacker, they don't do near enough.  In fact
they don't even do enough for mom.  VPN technology is sorely lacking
from (almost?) all of them, just for starters.

If Mom needs a VPN, she can run an OpenVPN server behind her appliance and forward UDP port 1194 to the server. The applience can have a route through the remote clients via the VPN server and redirect requests addressed to those clients (if the size of the local network precludes configuring a static route on each local host).
