    I have a router with opnsense which has q plugin for wireguard making things quite easy for me.

    A router is usually also always online and sits at the center of a network so it is the best place for it but there is nothing stopping someone from setting it up with commandline on a home device.

    https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/

    There are many online video guides that cover different ways to do it (like docker)

    In all casss you first setup a main server on the device that stays home and from it you generate a peer per device you want to connect. (A bunch of settings/codes) Sometimes a peer is a qr code that your device can scan (wireguard app for some devices) otherwise you have to manualy type.

    Once set you can just leave it on. The only exception i found is some apps for local payments, presumably because they require both devices to report the same location to perform a transaction.

    It is a valid use case. But thats not my usecase by far, which is what was asked.

    My comment is slightly directed at people i know irl that are not very technological and believe that surfing the web is inherently not safe, but completely safe one you pay to connect to name_tm.

    My apologies if it felt condescending for people who have good reason to tunnel outside there local jurisdiction.

    I get the idea but all of it depends on placing your trust in some company who’s entire business model is to sell you privacy.

    If you live in an area with such heavy censorship then can you trust the business that is legally allowed to advertise and sell to you?

    I personally think such company is way more likely to sell my data on the dark web then the government has resources to investigate what web domains i have visited.

    Not sure what the context is to warrant this reaction. I am not part of the anti-everything-ai mob.

    I fully agree on both points. Llms are here to stay and people need to learn to use them.

    That said: “please check the output before you hand it out” seems like such a basic minimum.

    i am actually shocked that usually smart people, including school teachers. Don’t practice this minimum of quality control.

    But this wasn’t a teacher, this was “the administration” a plural of people of which any could and should have done this minimum.

    At that point just hand out empty notebook instead. Its would actually be useable. It would be way less damaging to the image of the school. A School that cant write legible text in officials documents isn’t worth sending my kids too.
