Imagine having to pay a subscription for life or death situations...

Just teach your dad how to use CLI?

I have had the same issue. For me the last few weeks I keep changing VPN servers due to them being blocked.

Thank you for all of this, but a vpn solution won't work for me as I run a VPN all the time on all my machines.

Edit: Upon looking a little on tailscale, I might consider it, seems interesting.

I have read all comments and most of them provide useful information but I think this is what I need indeed.

Do you have any sources / guides on how to proceed with these configurations? :)

Which distro did you choose?

Is there an easy way to buy monero?

Thank you for the info.

Benefits and drawbacks?

What are you talking about exactly? Kindly disconnect from tor and lets have a chat about it...

I do not think there is a need for that. Try enabling the annoyances filters and try the site again.

It should work, I tested it with those filters enabled.

I fas as I am aware, Ubuntu ships codecs by default.

Fedora does not ship proprietary software due to license issues.

*This is just what I know, you should fact check both.
