OpenVPN in TCP mode wrapped around Stunnel. That’s the thing that works.

I have it set up to bypass VPN restrictions in some networks, but it also serves to bypass a lot more stuff if you know what you’re doing.

DPI will only see TLS traffic, and assume it’s HTTP. You can even try to fool it by modifying the packet headers, so dumb enough DPI will think you’re connecting to the site you choose.

I also had a machine that would randomly crash on Windows, but not on Linux.

I’m pretty sure it was some sort of hardware failure, as it also sometimes failed to boot Linux. But if it booted Linux, it would be stable until I shut it down.

You don’t need to do that with jellyfin either. It includes the website for convenience, but you can just disable it or completely remove it and have just the server.

I always recommend using your country’s state weather agency website. It will probably be the most accurate, and you can often get real time readings from the agency’s sensors around the country.

In my case, because I live in Spain, I use AEMET.

For sending files between a phone and a PC, I use KDE Connect.

For sending files between PCs, I use SSH.

Both are really simple and lightweight tools that normally come preinstalled, and you can use them with no configuration.
