Still having a hard time finding fun things to watch that I couldn’t watch any ways in the US but that’s why i’m doing it
Have a business ISP connection at home with blocks of IPv4 and IPv6, so run my VPN here. Unfiltered internet connection.
- Bypass mobile network restrictions
- Use on open/untrusted WiFi
- Access to IPv6 internet
- Access local network resources at home
bypass school wifi blocking sites.
Researching, working with VPN, and searching for the best prices.
I think VPNs should go beyond just security and IP fooling - they should make connectivity faster
To connect in turkey and buy software cheaper. Got Adobe photoshop for 20 euros a year
I use mine to hide my phone traffic from my employer while on their wifi network, since cellular signal inside the entire building sucks.
I very occasionally connect to a paid VPN to mask my IP address when doing things I’d rather weren’t tracked.
Much more often, when I’m on the road, I connect to the VPN I run on my own home network, to access resources there without having to make them exposed to the Internet at large.
Setting up sdwan/VPN for a major restaurant chain to protect financial data and transactions.
Honestly I got into using a VPN for the privacy factor, I stayed for the nice extra layer of defense it gives in combo with a good firewall. Most of the computer herpes I’ve caught over the years (innocent web browsing) has been when I’m cruising without my VPN on.
Persistent connections at hotels where they’ve enabled NAT on each of their 600 of their WiFi access points.
(It least that works in Wireguard)
Secure connections between servers in different data centers, for things that don’t need to be exposed publicly (e.g. MySQL replication, DNS replication, etc).
Wireguard is great because it doesn’t rely on a central server like OpenVPN does. There’s no such thing as a Wireguard server, just peers. If you configure each node as a peer on every other node, you end up with a mesh network where every device can access every other device securely. These days, Tailscale is a much easier way to configure the same thing.
Torrenting is one, but I also like the fact that it stops my ISP from capturing any of my personal data to sell.
Connecting back to the office
Connecting back to my home servers
Connecting home servers to Canada for… stuff.
At the time I had just dealt with a browser hijacker of an unusual level of an annoyance and inability to tag it with any tools. I generally refer to computer herpes as a blanket term malicious computer crap idk
to open restricted sites, such as… reddit
indonesia bans access to reddit, so that’s that
I need more info on this!
So thats what all those Digital Nomads are doing then - Heh.
literally in thailand rn and was upset i couldn’t use hulu… got nordvpn and got my life back 
Tried this but my employer contacted me saying they can tell I’m using a vpn
