Bluesky Blocks Access from Mississippi IP Addresses
Well this fucking sucks. I replaced Twitter with Bluesky since it’s not overrun with nazi bullshit and kept up with friends there. I love the freedom living in this shithole state offers. Edit: Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN works to keep accessing the site, but I’m still very pissed this is even

**VIDEO GUIDE **WireGuard on Unraid. The Best Method for Routing Containers through a VPN for max privacy
This is a very slick solution, however it does have one sticking point, no incoming port assignment, especially for VPN providers that generate dynamic ports (PIA), that's going to be a problem for Soulseek and especially bittorrent. u/spaceinvaderone with your docker image, is there any chance you

Google launches NotebookLM for Android
I am in the US, and the Play Store tells me it is not available in my country, which is weird. I am using an unlocked Pixel 9 Pro XL. [Update]: I used a VPN (PIA) to put me in another US state (Main had a low ping so I used that one) and went back to the PlayStore. It worked right away.

Best VPN
Been using PIA for years, good speed, selection of servers, apparently very security conscious (although my knowledge of their security side of things is from a few years ago when I was deciding on what VPN so definitely do your own research there).

PIA's DNS broken?
I recommend using dnscrypt-proxy. If you don't live in a free country, your dns is poisoned by an ISP. In EU that is the case and using EU region pia vpn does have the same issue. I had to actually hand pick servers for dnscrypt-proxy to avoid it because even via dnscrypt-proxy many servers just use

Wreddit's Daily Pro-Wrestling Discussion Thread! Comment here for recommendations, quick questions, and general conversation! (Spoilers for all shows) - April 24, 2026 Edition
ahhhh...I've been using the same one for ages....but I'll try that out. Some other locations I tried (Chile, and Denmark stand out)...I couldn't use them at all. But so far....Manchester seems to be working. I'll stream that today/tomorrow to see if it's any better. Thanks! Only using PIA since Nord

Is Private Internet Access worth getting, and how does it compare to the usual commercial VPNs?
I just renewed mine for 3 years also, been very solid. Moreso than my experience with paid ProtonVPN...but that could just be me. PIA doesn't give you wireguard profiles to download and plug into your router though. Only OpenVPN.

What is a good VPN to use here in Japan?
Be aware that even with a VPN you still might not be able to access geo blocked sites. I had PIA and wasn’t able to access most sites run by the state of Ohio.

pia-tun - Lightweight PIA + WireGuard container with port forwarding, qBittorrent port sync, and zero leak killswitch
I've been playing with your image -- thanks for making this easier than fighting with gluetun and editing wg0.conf files! Never did get the custom config to work. I setup lsio/speedtest-tracker alongside your container to measure vpn performance before adding the rest of the stack. While tuning serv

TLS Errors, Self-signed Cert Errors
For anyone that comes here in the future, I was able to get up and running again. Fix:Turns out the whole issue came down to two things: PIA killed port forwarding on all U.S. servers, so Gluetun couldn’t find anything usable when I had VPN_PORT_FORWARDING=on. I was trying to connect to a US-based ser
