Nobody else mentioned DuckDNS. It’s free and has worked great for me for years.

You’ll need to install a client that syncs/auto-updates your public IP, then pretty much never touch it again.

Not that big of a deal IMHO; it’s what verification is for, unlike X’s blue check model.

Obligatory fuck ICE.

I’m liking COSMIC better than GNOME, personally. Not sure why you are mad that something else exists?

Finally! I’ve been on Cosmic for months. Waiting for search results to be relevant again, rather than assume I use Gnome.

Ah, sorry I hadn’t appreciated you were after split tunnelling… You can do this with Tailscale for services where you’re connecting to a fixed IP/FQDN, which I think rules out torrenting/P2P unfortunately.

The only way I’ve seen to pass a specific app’s traffic through Tailscale appears to be an Android exclusive feature.

If I’m wrong someone please correct me!

You can absolutely use Tailscale; your host in the unrestricted country needs to be set up as an exit node (CLI argument in Linux, or a menu option in the system tray in Windows.)

Then, your local machine needs to be set up to use that remote machine as its exit node. (tailscale up --exit-node=remote-tailnet-ip-here)

Disturbingly similar to my employer.

I’ve been boycotting them for a while (BDS), but it’s good to see that more people are joining in.

If I’m completely honest, after reading both your account and theirs, I don’t really understand why you’re this hung up about it.

It’s almost like you care more about credit than a port that actually works. I know you weren’t done/that it was a WIP, and they told you to wait, but at the end of the day it’s open software, and literally anyone could have beaten you to it.

I don’t think you’re wrong to feel that your efforts should have been represented more, but I honestly would have backed off like 10% through that conversation and just started working on something else. It’s not worth it man. I hope you can feel better about this whole situation soon.
