That’s the thing I hate the most about free hotel breakfast: by the time normal people get up, they’ve already shut it down for the day. I swear they do it on purpose to save money.

You won’t convince anyone one here that crypto isn’t a scam. These people are set in their ways.

Good to know, thanks.

I know but what you specifically want is not possible. But yet again it doesn’t matter because you don’t need a VPN when you use a Debrid service.

At this point you’re just harassing me to be a pendantic asshole. So I’m going to do what’s best for my mental health and dip out of this conversation. You are exhausting. ✌️

Don’t even bother. You’ll never get through to these drones.

Your existence is a scam.

And I’m telling you that you don’t have to if you use a Debrid service.

But if you insist: all you gotta do set it up on the DNS level. Find out the IP needed to connect to your VPN via DNS, then change your TV’s DNS servers to that IP in its internet connection settings.

I use SponsorBlock for more than just skipping sponsored segments. It’s also useful for skipping intros, “like and subscribe” messages, and other general annoyances in most YouTube videos. Once you get used to it, you can’t go without.

I miss the early days of WiFi, when routers were unsecured by default. If you lived in the city or suburbia, you were pretty much guaranteed free wifi.

Back in the 2000s I lived with my grandma for awhile, and even though she had internet, I would use the wifi from a few houses down. I only got 2 bars and was limited to 1.5Mbps, yet it was still over 5x faster than her 256Kbps DSL line.

I would but my issue with that is that SponsorBlock doesn’t work on downloaded videos.

Same. When I opened the Stats for Nerds pop-up, I noticed that I was being throttled to 1500kbps. Anything above 720p was unplayable this week.

But apparently the Ublock Origin devs yet again figured out another workaround, because streaming speeds are back to normal for me as of yesterday.

The only other thing I can think of is that you’re dual-booting and Windows isn’t playing nice with GRUB as usual.

If that’s the case, well then this is why I gave Linux and Windows their own dedicated drives, with a switch installed on my case to physically select the drive. That way they can both have their own bootloaders so Windows can’t get in the way. They’re not even aware that the other OS exists.

Again, you don’t need a VPN if you follow my guide. Your reading comprehension is worse than mine, and I have ADHD. *sigh*

Bro you asked for a guide, I gave you a guide. The fuck you want from me? (For convenience sake I even made as short as possible. Literally less than a 45 second read.)

I put a lot of effort into that comment to help you out, and instead of saying “thank you”, you respond with this bullshit? What the hell is wrong with you?

Ungrateful prick.

Are you using a Debrid service with it? It’s a much better experience if you are. Give Real-Debrid a try with Stremio. It’ll change your opinion.

Again, not an issue if you use a Debrid service, because no files are being uploaded.

Exactly, which is why you don’t need a VPN if you use a Debrid service. No files are being uploaded. The Debrid service handles that for you by downloading the torrent to a remote server, than giving you a direct download link to the file. Nothing is being uploaded from your end.

No problem. It’s a classic from my meme collection that is so vintage, it predates smartphones. I needed a good excuse to dust it off.

I’m not the person to ask this kind of question to. I use DNS-level tracking protection in my router (via NextDNS), but I’m not a privacy expert.

If you’re living in a country where censorship is a thing and/or privacy is of upmost importance, then you should still use a VPN in addition to a Debrid service with Stremio. Or you can nix the Debrid and just use a VPN if you don’t mind more buffering and all the downsides that come with torrents. (VPNs can be setup to run on a TV through DNS settings either on your router or TV itself, though this may not be 100% secure. Again, I’m not an expert.)

The Trump-branded T1 Phone will apparently be made in America.
