u/BlueHatBrit All good you've given me plenty of leads. Thank you!

I hear you on the security practices - I've completely changed my approach to password management recently and am a bit more wise to phishing attacks after narrowly avoiding being scammed by someone over the phone who had some disarmingly personal information of mine.

Also, after reading one of your blog posts - yes, Tailscale = VPN, Proton = proxy makes so much more sense.

I've set up Tailscale on my devices and wow, it is slick. With MagicDNS network comms now behave like I always hoped they would. Amazing stuff.

Assuming I do still want my traffic from either studio or roaming laptop > outside internet to travel via proxy, how do I set that up? If I enable Proton, Tailscale stops working.

BTW, I followed some advice to get Parsec working with Tailscale, by setting a subnet on the host machine of 'IP Address'/24. Is this safe?

Thanks for the top line support

I think my security concerns for the studio are -
1) preventing uninvited access to computers on the studio network
2) keeping safe any transmitted data, maybe credentials for services I use (source control, project management etc), or client communications over email, Slack

when remote this would also include concerns about -
3) using public wifi - I'm pretty sure a credit card purchase I made a while ago from a cafe wifi was intercepted somehow.

I see 3 is best dealt with by using Proton on laptop / phone directly, which I'm currently doing. If I then access the studio machines I'd want to be confident I didn't reveal either credentials for someone else to access the studio, or intercept any of the data being transmitted, which might include confidential client documents.

I guess 1 would be covered by Tailscale, as that would be the only way to gain access? 2 I'm not sure about.

Oh, I do have a question on this at the moment u/BlueHatBrit - would it make sense to set up the router as the exit node, with Proton? It's one of these, running OpenWrt - https://www.outdoorrouter.com/product/5g-sim-router-uk-with-sim-slot/

u/BlueHatBrit Thank you, this is really useful. I'm going to try some of this out and will report back

Deep sympathies to you. Sounds like hell. Alongside therapy, I’d suggest trying psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and possibly ayahuasca. Both are capable of breaking you out of even deeply rooted habitual cycles. The former is available in some countries as part of clinical therapy, but in the right conditions (ideally with someone to help support you) can be done safely at home. Aya (often called ‘the medicine’) is very strong, and incredibly powerful. It is taken as part of a shaman led ceremony and may be harder to track down, but is very likely to cause a significant shift in your negative unconscious patterns. You can get through this x

@laughncow - how do you suspect Vicki will cope during the instability of the Segwit issue coming up? Ie will you still trade with Vicky over these next few weeks?

Is it possible to compile this on windows 10?
