    I set up ProtonVPN on the router for a few months & the family hated it. HATED IT! They were constantly asking me to disable the VPN so they could log in to a site here, or make a credit card payment there. It was a mess.

    Eventually I just disabled it on the router & ran my VPN at the device level. Much better now & the family doesn’t hate me! :)

      Yeah, pretty much. You need to be able to split tunnel and toggle it on and off as necessary because many sites just assume that you’re doing something nefarious if you’re visiting from any commercial IP.

      @GrappleHat @Reverendender So many sites assume individuals who use a VPN are up to no good.

      Some may be.

      Most people though are just trying to draw the curtains so the creeps hiding in the bushes are less likely to see in.
