VPN on Router Issue
I’ve used a VPN on individual devices for some time now. Every once in a while I come across a website that says it’s blocking my access because of my IP address. I then change to another server until one isn’t flagged anymore. The problem is there isn’t one server that’s free from this issue....

A senator has complained that American law enforcement agencies snoop on US citizens and residents, seemingly without regard for the privacy provisions of the Fourth Amendment, under a secret program called the Hemisphere Project that allows police to conduct searches of trillions of phone records.
Privacy Practices in public registries for developers
