  • I can’t speak about pfsense or router-based configs, I have zero experience there. The Proton website does have openVPN and wire guard manual setup instructions though. You could try it with a free account first to make sure everything works before committing to paying for it. If you’re interested, I can show you the changes I made to the openVPN config file to allow split tunneling. Again though, I don’t know how that translates to pfsense.





  • My understanding of the issue with static discharge is not necessarily that everything must be at the same grounded voltage as your home’s circuitry per se, but that your body’s voltage (static electricity potential) must be the same as the component’s voltage. You can accomplish this by “grounding” yourself to the component by touching bare metal away from any IC components before handling it. You can also use anti-static wrist straps that essentially do the same thing continuously by maintaining a connection between your body and the component you’re handling.

    I am open to someone who knows more about this chiming in to correct me here.




  • Honest question, why is there a difference between preference and orientation? If I’m ordering pizza and ask you for your topping preference, you’d tell me pepperoni, for instance. You don’t get to choose what your preference is, it’s just what you prefer. There may be reasons you have that preference (the taste of pepperoni, you don’t like mushrooms, etc.), but it’s not a conscious decision to prefer pepperoni, it’s just what you like. I couldn’t negotiate with you to make you like mushrooms over pepperoni, it’s something you have to discover on your own.

    I guess what I’m getting at is that I don’t understand why there’s a difference.
