ZDNet has an article recommending 5 VPN routers from $79 to $250. I am not familiar with all of them, but it should get you started. I like the Firewalla product because of the other security features it provides, like blocking incoming traffic flows or device-specific service rules, and PiHole is amazing.

It's outside your budget, but you should look at Firewalla. I think their least expensive model is the Blue Plus, but it provides security capabilities like firewall and VPN as well as routing and DHCP. The Gold even supports Docker containers - I'm running PiHole in a Docker on my Gold. I'm not using VPN client capabilities, but I know they're there.

Oh goodness, I hope it's nothing minor.

While she ought to be tossed in jail, she is likely shielded by the Speech & Debate clause.

At the same symposium I met Dick Rutan. I was standing in a group and he was across from me wearing his full dress uniform. Out of nowhere he sucks his hand out to me and says "Hi, I'm Dick Rutan, I flew around the world. Maybe you've heard of me." My response was not eloquent.

I was at E3 once talking to Jordan Weisman about MechWarrior 4 when Steven Spielberg walked up. He said, "My kids aren't going to believe I got to meet you!", which left Jordan and I stunned. Apparently he and his kids were big 'mech fans.

Neil Armstrong. Got to shake his hand at a symposium where he gave a talk.

There may be a difference between habits and muscle memory. Seatbelts and parking brakes would be the latter.

LOL! I had to screen shot this response. Thank you, I needed that laugh! 🤣

And tomato soup to dip it in.

I bought M.A.S.K. on streaming to share it with my kids. It did not live up to my memories.

If not, nethack has probably consumed close to 1000 hours of my life.

I don't know who you are, but I love you.

I couldn't get into GW2, but I put a ton of hours into Guild Wars. My top three are probably Star Trek Online, Guild Wars, and Borderlands. Honorable mentions for Nethack and Command HQ.
