  • I have a router with opnsense which has q plugin for wireguard making things quite easy for me.

    A router is usually also always online and sits at the center of a network so it is the best place for it but there is nothing stopping someone from setting it up with commandline on a home device.

    https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/

    There are many online video guides that cover different ways to do it (like docker)

    In all casss you first setup a main server on the device that stays home and from it you generate a peer per device you want to connect. (A bunch of settings/codes) Sometimes a peer is a qr code that your device can scan (wireguard app for some devices) otherwise you have to manualy type.

    Once set you can just leave it on. The only exception i found is some apps for local payments, presumably because they require both devices to report the same location to perform a transaction.


  • It is a valid use case. But thats not my usecase by far, which is what was asked.

    My comment is slightly directed at people i know irl that are not very technological and believe that surfing the web is inherently not safe, but completely safe one you pay to connect to name_tm.

    My apologies if it felt condescending for people who have good reason to tunnel outside there local jurisdiction.


  • I get the idea but all of it depends on placing your trust in some company who’s entire business model is to sell you privacy.

    If you live in an area with such heavy censorship then can you trust the business that is legally allowed to advertise and sell to you?

    I personally think such company is way more likely to sell my data on the dark web then the government has resources to investigate what web domains i have visited.











  • Can absolutely, should without further context? Hard no.

    If they pose an actual threat you have a right to defend your family. Thats an entirely different then they should be hurt as payback.

    Mentally ill people are not fucking around. They are also not finding out because they don’t always understand what they did or why others reacted, They just need help.

    Actually i think you might be one of those people.

    My kids have like all kids acted inappropriately in public at times, and i don’t want to know how you would respond to it if they accidentally invaded your personal space in the process.



  • How do you know this is a pervert and not just an awkward confused elder?

    It could have been a pervert yes, thats why you get up and tell them off. Make it clear that they’re being inappropriate.

    Public shaming is incredibly effective in altering future behaviour.

    But you don’t actually know their motives.

    I also don’t think the old man is pretending anything, it’s seems to be his son who is doing that and talked to the media.

    Personally i think that son should realise dad is at a stage where they should not go outside on their own.


  • I am worried for you repeatedly concluding that violence is the only way to send a message of disapproval.

    You can use your voice, you can use verbal signs like getting up and closer, without touching. Showing that you are ready to physically defend your child if the stranger does not back off right now. There is a huge realm of interaction between “letting it pass” and “violence”

    The message the child receives is, someone randomly invaded my personal space and my parent got very upset with this person.

    What message does it send to a child to respond to any socially wrong interaction with instant violence.

    Being a parent though i can understand the sudden emption causing a violent outbursts. But at least these parents understand after the fact that they could responded better.
