#protonvpn — Public Fediverse posts

In case you missed it, a recap of my week. First, we should acknowledge that my irregular sleep habits and my lack of sustainable nutritional uptake fueled this week's technological adventure. I took my stock #ASUS RT-AX89X and flashed the #firmware with #OpenWrt. That was in itself a challenge. Then, after lots of failures and starting from ground zero countless times, I finally took this behemoth of enterprise hardware crammed into a consumer package and transformed it into the powerhouse it truly is.

I have full #WireGuard and #ProtonVPN with lots of bypass rules. I have a full #firewall with several special traffic rules. I set up PBR (Policy-Based Routing). I have #banIP and #Adblock — network-level and DNS-level threat blocking, running side by side. I have a full guest interface and SSID, a full secure interface and SSID. Special #DNS set up with #Quad9. I even managed to increase my storage on the router to 117 GB by employing extroot on /overlay.

I can now run the space-age version of home networking.

This was no small feat of perseverance — as much as it was brute force and stubborn willpower on my end. In my younger days this would have been a bit easier. Now my eyes do not see all that well, my brain really does not function correctly, recall of simple and complex protocols simply is not there. I use several search agents to assist remembering what I once knew. I had nearly an 80 percent downtime internet-wise experience going through this, which really complicated matters.

Then there is the human toll. I was basically awake and sitting in front of my laptop for the better part of the entire week non-stop. Not to mention my computer's failing keyboard and mouse that like to interject randomly. Then the fact eating nearly was impossible between the lack of actual foods and the ability to step away long enough to care for myself.

But hey, here it is Friday, and this disabled man existing in poverty took a stubborn, robust piece of hardware and transformed it into a powerful network routing machine.

Would I suggest doing this to anyone else? It depends. Are you ready to commit yourself to the insanity of countless trials and errors and the endless stream of forcing focus? I am but a simple failing human. Surely there are better suited for such an adventure. But I shall warn you, this is a labor of desperation and love. You must be prepared to commit to such adventure. But if you succeed, it is well worth the effort and knowledge you gain along the way. And no, do not ask me for help. I swear I pulled this off by the seat of my pants flying at Mach 9.

What it does: routes my main LAN through #ProtonVPN with bypasses for my server, email, and TV. Runs a fully isolated guest network with per-guest rate limits. Sandboxes my IoT devices with no internet access. Blocks roughly 33,000 malicious IPs and roughly 335,000 ad and tracker domains. Survives reboots, with a verified backup stored off-device.

A few weeks ago, Walled Culture wrote about Hadopi, France’s infamous copyright enforcement mechanism. The so-called “graduated response” – aka “three strikes and you are out” – has been around for over 15 years now, has cost French taxpayers a fortune, and has never achieved any of its aims. As the Walled Culture post suggested, the latest court ruling might finally put the […]
