I’ll quit YouTube before I watch ads.

Long time ago, already downloading it

Doesn’t it require holding over 100k with BofA?

I use it. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best free one out of all I tried. Been using it for a few years now.

The $0.99 prices is the stupidest thing in America, I haven’t seen it in any other country. Also, agreed on including sales tax and rounding to .25. Would actually make using cash tolerable.

I think what you’re doing is fine, in fact, it’s one of the Microsoft recommended methods of doing it.

Not really, if it’s on TCP 443 it will look no different than a typical HTTPS traffic.

What are you trying to accomplish? Hide/anonymize your Internet/torrenting activity? Or access your LAN devices from the Internet? Because those are two different use cases for VPN. One requires paying a third party provider, the other - hosting a VPN server on your network.

What if VPN traffic is on a non-standard port?

If the respondents are defining “financial freedom” of course they’re going to say they don’t have it.

I make a decent salary and I would still say I don’t have financial freedom.

Large trucks are the third-largest vehicle sales segment in the U.S., after compact and midsize SUVs

That’s like saying chicken is the third most expensive meat after steak and pork.

It doesn’t matter as you’re encrypting your cloud backups anyway. You’re encrypting backups, right?

Not cool, bro, it’s against the pirate code to cheat at multiplayer video games.

Yes, you’re punished for saving while those spend all they earned are rewarded. It’s a messed up system.

Site is dead

I use ecobee and block it from the Internet. Works great with Home Assistant via Homekit.

It’s never enough, soon they’re going to show ads even to you, a paying customer. It’s happening to some streaming providers already, it’s coming to YouTube too, mark my words. Online streaming is turning into cable.

You’re comparing apples and oranges, reverse proxy and VPN serve two different purposes.

Make sure to do the math if solar is even worth it for you. Electricity is relatively cheap in my area. When I did the math, it would take me at least 20 years to break even (that’s if I paid cash, even longer if I finance). Considering 25 years is an average panels lifespan, it would not save me any money.

Being independent of the grid is the only selling point, but I haven’t done enough research if that’s even true with solar. If it’s still connected to the grid, will I even be able to utilize my panels if there’s an outage in the grid?

You did see the numbers? I mean, what else do you need?
