if you are willing to put work into yourself.

Is my guess.

Certainly better than nothing. Going to a therapist can be hard, both mentally and economically.

I am not sure I understand your comment.

Blocking outgoing traffic blocks all outgoing traffic, thus including traffic outside of VPN.
Allowing outgoing connections to the VPN server simply makes an exception in that blocking, otherwise you couldn’t even connect to a VPN.

Oof, sorry. This will depend on OS and the software you use for FW configs. I am too dumb.

For example, I use UFW on Linux. So for me it’s

# Deny all incoming and outgoing traffic by default
ufw default deny outgoing
ufw default deny incoming

# Allow connection to VPN server
ufw allow out to <VPN server IP address> [port] <VPN server port number> [proto] <tcp|udp>

# Allow connection via VPN interface
ufw allow out on <interface name> from any to any

# Enable UFW
ufw enable

That’s just one simple way.

I’ve heard they monitor the torrents and try downloading from the peers as evidence of them distributing the content.

Anyway, you could set up firewall rules to only allow connections via VPN interface (and out to the VPN server, of course).

No kids.

I don’t want any more stress, and I don’t like kids anyway. Plus the idea of bringing someone else in this world… I want to die, why would I cause living to someone else?

And even if my views do change in the future, I’d rather go for adoption. Not only would I not create more life, but I could perhaps give someone a better chance.
I don’t really understand the appeal of your kids being blood-related anyway. What’s the point?

Overthink everything.
Not that I don’t do it otherwise, but in this case it doesn’t impact anything else… maybe besides my sanity.

And stuff like doing backups and updates. I use HDD, btw. Takes plenty of time.

I use desktop mode all the time on my phone’s browser because mobile sites are too limited. How can they just assume nobody is doing this? Sometimes I even use desktop version of Firefox in Termux because mobile browsers tend to crash large uploads with locked screen.

But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if they already do this hotspot usage limiting. Greed has no limits.

First solution is all in one app.

Only problem may be the client side as not everything has proxy support.

It seems this should work fine with a Steam Deck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrLNlHeO0eU

I know they do some hotspot restrictions over there in US.

You should be able to get around it with something like TetherFi: https://github.com/pyamsoft/tetherfi (Android)

It creates a legacy Wi-Fi direct group and runs a proxy server on the phone. You can then connect via the proxy in some programs on your computer (e.g.: Firefox).

You can also run a proxy server in Termux. I use tinyproxy because it’s easy to setup.

Both of these will also go over VPN if you have that connected on your phone, as it’s basically the app (proxy server) using internet on behalf of your computer.

Alternatively you can also use socat for port forwarding, for example to a public VPN server. Then on the computer you could set up the VPN connection as usual, but replace the IP/Port with those used by your phone locally.

Win I guess.

I can get it on Android too, but for like 3 years or even more.

But only if using US VPN.

I don’t know what qualifies as “girl” music.

I don’t want to get a license only to forget everything because I won’t drive.

I see having a car as a necessity only. For me, it’s only acceptable if public transport/bicycle is not an option. Unfortunately, the latter is almost never an option due to how everything is built car-centric, but the former very often is.

Also, I don’t know anything about cars, I don’t have to think where to park that huge piece of shit, I don’t need to be my own driver, I don’t need to do any maintenance, it’s more ecological and even cheaper than just gas.

And up to 18.3.

I can be comfortable from 90F to about 100F.

I envy you. I am already hot at 65F…

Go somewhere further away by a coach bus. Or maybe a 1st class train ticket (as a student I can travel in 2nd class for free in most trains).

I like travelling. Just sitting in a bus/train doing nothing.

Simple answer: No.

Find a job I’d love.

I don’t want to be useless, but now I wouldn’t have to be worried about money.

Nope.
