To answer my own question, in the hope that maybe it helps someone else…

So I tried

• openwrt
• dd-wrt
• tomato
• merlin

Finally I found Merlin. Merlin let me configure OpenVPN with a .ovpn file.

There is an option “Redirect Internet Traffic” you can set to “Policy Rules”

You can use CIDR notation to specify all client IPs on the subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.0/24, destination 0.0.0.0

And you can select “Block routed clients if tunnel goes down”

You mod 16 subs, what do you get?

Another day blocking API requests.

Saint Peter don’t DM me cuz I can’t go.

I owe my soul to Spez’s asshole.

Everyone says, they are not bringing their best angles. Triangles. Quadrangles. And some I assume are acute angles.

Management wants us to add more AI and Machine Learning so the user ends up in the parking lot.

But I thought Putin’s whole invasion was about removing nazis from Ukraine.

I would guess most timezones have less than a billion people. (Does China still have a single timezone?)

Now I’d be curious to see overall population based on timezone.

Edit: I found this https://distributionofthings.com/world-population-by-time-zone/

I was wondering if there are like island nations in the middle of the Atlantic or pacific that would be parts of time zones with super low populations. But I’m also guessing most such nations would want to associate with more populous neighboring time zones (for like commerce reasons, communication etc.) which is why time zones aren’t straight lines of latitude. So then that makes me wonder if for those reasons there are time zones with zero population.

Edit 2: And this https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/12504/least-populated-time-zones#:~:text=2 Answers&text=There is one timezone that,the UTC-12%3A00. Seems to answer my follow up question. Seems there is a timezone with no inhabitants.

What the hell is Woola and Nocco?

Had not heard of block mode. I need to try this.

The router will need to look up the IP address of the vpn server using DNS. None of the other clients on the LAN should be doing that. Point is I only want the other client devices to have access to the outside world if the VPN is connected. If it is somehow disconnected, I don’t want those other LAN client devices to access the internet.

Thanks! That makes sense. I’ll give this a try.

I want it to drop all connections if it is not on the vpn.

First Hamas. Now hezbollah. Pretty weird stuff.

I use ddg. But that just uses Microsoft’s bing on the backend right?

Was this in the US? Because then you had PAL vs NTSC, which is think would be an even bigger problem.

I get mine on Amazon. But I know a lot of people don’t like Amazon.

Get a 2tb or 3tb external USB drive. They are pretty cheap.

Yes

Backup vhs tapes? They put copy protections on those too, which made that difficult. In the 90s I had two VCRs, I ran the output of one to the input of the other to record duplicates. Some of the copy protection schemes would fuck with the signal or the tracking.

Well I hate you all.

You need the requirements doc from marketing. Then it will all totally make sense for sure. No cap.
