At the firewall level, port forwarding forwards traffic bound for one port to another machine on your network on an arbitrary port, but the UI built on top of it in your router may not include this.

If it's not an option in your Fritzbox, your options are:

  • Make the service running on your internal network listen on one of those high-number ports instead.
  • Introduce another machine on the network that also performs NAT between your router and your machine
  • Try to access the underlying firewall in your router to tweak the rules manually. Some routers have an admin console accessible via telnet or SSH that may allow this.
  • Get a new router.

The first and last options on this list are probably the best.

It would be absolutely bizarre if you couldn't connect with WireGuard port and Wireguard obfuscation set to Automatic. Things to try first:

  1. Connect without your VPN and try to access a single website like the theguardian.com
  2. Once that's working, enable your VPN and that should do it.
  3. If you still can't get connected, try switching out different countries. Each country listed corresponds to an IP to which your machine will try to connect over a benign port like 443 -- so blocking that sort of traffic would be mad unless the IP is explicitly blocked. Therefore, driving to different country targets offers a different IP every time. They'd have to know Mulvad's whole list and block them all.

If the above somehow doesn't work, Mulvad offers support through which you can get a temporary Server IP override. You can enter that in the bottom portion of your app's settings.

As someone who has used and loved Docker since 2015, but never used Podman, can you explain the difference and why I might want to make the switch?

Nebula might be the answer for you. A low annual fee means every video you watch gives a portion of that fee to the artist.

Thanks for posting this! I have the same router.

Honestly, this is so much better than those cases when the codebase is an absolute fucking nightmare are the senior dev doesn't see it. Instead they gaslight you into thinking that this is actually best practice.

Honestly, after having served on a Very Large Project with Mypy everywhere, I can categorically say that I hate it. Types are great, type checking is great, but applying it to a language designed without types in mind is a recipe for pain.

Heh. We've convinced our kids that Paw Patrol and Cocomelon "don't work on our TV". All I had to do was let her select it a few times and then kill the network connection when she wasn't looking. After that, we marked them as "disliked" in Netflix and now they never appear.

It may not last, but I'm doing what I can :-)

Snowfl has some pretty good results (note the addition of the keyword complete). But you can do a lot better than Paw Patrol! "Bluey", "The Owl House", "Hilda", and "Kipo and the age of the Wonderbeasts" are all far better choices for kids and your own sanity ;-)

Mozilla's VPN is just reselling Mullvad, so you can support Mozilla and use Mullvad at the same time if you like.

 

The other day someone was complaining about the new ad blocker-blocker on YouTube and I mentioned that it might be fun to write a Firefox extension that would just load up yt-dlp and play the video through mpv.

It turns out, writing a Firefox extension is easy and tricking Firefox into launching yt-dlp isn't much harder (though it does require some annoying configuration on the user's end).

Anyway, if you're a Linux user, feel free to try it out. I don't know how much I'm going to pour into this, but as an exercise of "can this be done", it was pretty good for a few hours on a Friday night.
