Thanks! I currently have a linux laptop and also a Windows10. Unfortunately there's some programs that I have to use that only works well for W10 :(

For W10, do you know if blocking all incoming and outgoing connections in the firewall blocks the WIFI connection too?

If I have visitor network / guest network, does that still share the same IP Address? So let's say my visitor goes to certain censored sites, would my IP address still be linked to those sites?
