What hardware do you use to avoid slowdowns?
Comment on Does anyone use a VPN to subvert the Netflix household device fencing?

I do live at 3 locations in 2 countries for work reasons and have a wireguard VPN server at my primary home that acts as a gateway for all my traffic, not only because of streaming but also because my bank locked me out for suspicious behavior before.
No issues with this setup, I can only recommend it. I also have a centralized NAS this way and all my home assistant instances are interconnected.

I have 10 GBit Fiber :)

That’s a pretty good solution I suppose.

In all locations presumably? Do you know if it’s indistinguishable from you being at your main residence? Like are there any technical ways a service you’re connecting to could tell that you’re going through a VPN? (Just curious BTW!)

No one location has DSL and the other 5G. Both have around 200 Mbits but thats totally fine.
Ot’s completely indistinguishable from my main location and nobody can see I am using VPN.

In terms of bank, I recommend switching to one that won’t block you for travelling, like Revolut

Revolut effectively blocked me for using custom ROMs on my phones. Fuck them.

So do all banks, that’s what Play Integrity Fix is for.

My bank doesn’t.
