Hmm. Managed to get Wireguard to connect to my VPS, but that kills AdGuard. Phone is unusable without AdGuard. WG Tunnel app crashes when opening so guess I'm stuck for now. Need the latter to chain VPN and AdGuard.
I agree it isn't great. But I don't want to be in the abusive relationship with Microsoft. Yes I could probably just turn off the deep search option but they'll just do something else.
Maybe there's a better option than FUTO, it's just the first thing I saw as a recommended alternative.
It seems if I swype carefully it's reasonably accurate but I have to be patient.
This post has just reminded me to change from Microsoft keyboard to FUTO. I wasn't worried about the data harvesting, but it started redirecting my searches to Bing by hijacking the search button on the keyboard.
I'm 30% slower with FUTO though at this stage. Not sure if it's my swype style being slightly out of calibration or my device is not fast enough to keep up. (Moto g84).
I think it's in part because of NAT. Less and less people have a real IP address, so they can't share the torrents to others, and most VPNs don't provide an upload port either.
The tracker websites are also increasingly hostile with malicious ads, so those with ineffective ad blockers can't use them.
Hehe that was me 40 years ago. A Toshiba upright shoebox mono tape recorder, a 3.5mm to chunky headphone plug adapter, and a toiletries bag neatly stuffed with 20 cassettes. This was pre-walkman era.
Back then I was a dialup ISP I used to host network games of Quake 1 with my customers. At the peak though we found the Xylogics Remote Annex couldn't handle it, and it rebooted mid game.
