  • Proton VPN doesn't work but my cheap shitty VPN that isn't well known works. Linux with Firefox or android with ff

  • This is what I am doing to offsite backup my files. B2 has great pricing!

  • Looks like I got the bad wifi ones.. trash can! Thank you for assistance! Very informative!

  • Its still expensive. I get better speeds from 5g/LTE. I live in very rural farm town usa. My LTE is through T-Mobile for $45/mo and average speeds of 80x20mpbs. Peaks around 200mbps down and 180upload.

    I do have the antenna pointed directly at the tower above the tree line.

    Wave form antenna kit - $400 Spitz modem - $400 But my only alternative was starlink so the ROI on this setup was real fast compared. I also have a Verizon simcard as a hot fail over. But that Sim is data capped. I work from home in IT so I need the Internets.

    Ive thought about side hustling my setup and selling it to my neighbors. But it would just congest my tower more... Lol

  • They have the Spitz out now. I live rural and actually have this as my whole home modem.

    I have a pfsense modem between it and my network for routing/vlan but its great! I have the modem paired with the waveform antenna on a 40ft tower. I love that it tells me connection speed to the tower similar to how your WiFi network adapter will tell you the speed between it and the WiFi access point. It will say like 200M. So I know I can get up to 200M but because of prioritization+usage on the tower my actual speeds are 80mbps during Netflix hours but closer to 200m when I first wake up.

    Tldr: glinet makes some solid hardware and software. (I know openwrt did most of the heavy lifting. But its well polished. )

  • This is great! I knew they were tricky to flash! But this is very detailed in the process. Looking forward to trying this when I get home from the office today!! Thank you!!

  • pfSense on an old PC with two NICs should do well. You could buy dedicated hw like a protectoli. Ive had one for 6 years now no issues.

  • Where I live I only have LTE/cell for internet. I work from home. I use this https://www.openmptcprouter.com/

    So I can have multiple WAN connections at home. Not sure if it would work in reverse. Maybe if you installed it backwards?

  • "If you VPN supports p2p just use that" what does this mean? Use p2p to access reddit? Is that a thing?

  • EBay doesn't work well in general. Literally the slowest loading website.

  • I use kagi.com as a search engine and it automatically does that for links I click on thru them. I think there is a browser extension for Firefox that will do this for you as well.

  • I turned my WiFi off and opened the app it was just a white screen. I suppose its beta still. But my dream is to keep a local copy of all my mail just got a cache.

  • It does not. Which is the reason I wanted the app...

  • My work uses gondaddy. I hate every minute of trying to navigate their site.

  • Proton drive will auto backup photos. Google is the last person I want having all my photos. If its features immich is awesome. Self hosted.
