Is it just part of the enshitification of everything?

Yes

Have I just gotten old

Get off my lawn.

Those domes better be rocket proof. Or just rock proof.

To answer my own question, in the hope that maybe it helps someone else…

So I tried

• openwrt
• dd-wrt
• tomato
• merlin

Finally I found Merlin. Merlin let me configure OpenVPN with a .ovpn file.

There is an option “Redirect Internet Traffic” you can set to “Policy Rules”

You can use CIDR notation to specify all client IPs on the subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.0/24, destination 0.0.0.0

And you can select “Block routed clients if tunnel goes down”

Or just have some random subset of browsers support them for some reason and other browsers not so much. It’s the html way.

They automated randomization of the commit messages? Wtf?

That’s odd. I’m allergic to cats but ended up with one. Took me about three months of misery sneezing and runny nose, but after that my body became used to it, and I was fine for years after that. But that’s somewhat different than your symptoms.

Is there a picture of the package on the package? It’s virtualized.

Yeah that also usually comes up in these types of discussions. Even for technical people, that approach can be a pain to manage.

I’ve used this many times before. But this is so well known I wonder, why wouldn’t spammers/scammers just remove the “+” and trailing characters before “@“?

Don’t skip scarf day

The router will need to look up the IP address of the vpn server using DNS. None of the other clients on the LAN should be doing that. Point is I only want the other client devices to have access to the outside world if the VPN is connected. If it is somehow disconnected, I don’t want those other LAN client devices to access the internet.

Thanks! That makes sense. I’ll give this a try.

I want it to drop all connections if it is not on the vpn.

Or left hand hovering 1 and 4, right hand hovering in over 6 through 0.

Seems like you’ve given this some thought.

Why not?

Was this in the US? Because then you had PAL vs NTSC, which is think would be an even bigger problem.

Wouldn’t Mozilla have a conflict of interest?

I get mine on Amazon. But I know a lot of people don’t like Amazon.

Get a 2tb or 3tb external USB drive. They are pretty cheap.
