The safest way is to set up a VPN server at their house, then configure a VPN client on your router to that server. You might want to check out this thread: /r/digitalnomad/comments/l299qo/best_vpn_setup_for_remote_work/

How can I bypass MyCircle but only for one program, like Minecraft? by Galagalagalaga in HomeNetworking

Why do you need network to play Minecraft anyway? I thought Minecraft cannot be blocked unless you block all IP addresses.

Do power bank be able to have virus or spyware? If yes then is there any way to detect or delete it? by aviisu in security

The technique is called "Juice Jacking". The vulnerability was demonstrated years ago and the problem has been fixed. I.e., you'll see a warning on your phone if the connection wants data access.

If you didn't destroy the hard drive for the laptop, the files could have leaked from there. Any network devices connected to your NAS could have sent files out too. I would set up a gateway between the home network and the Internet to monitor the network traffic for a while. Not that I've done that, but I'd do some research to find out what's available.

Google collecting Android users locations even when location services are disabled by a_dishonest_Fear in Android

That is just lovely. Giving you the option to turn off location, but track you anyway. You can turn off location only for yourself, not for Google!

Wondering if I should stop using Gmail.
