From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I used to use proton vpn but I recently learned that torrenting is not allowed on the free tier, so I had to look for alternatives, and none of them offers a free tier with openvpn or wireguard keys that allows torrenting :(
Ah, well I just learned about the existence of free vpn services. I'm going to use it to set up a free guest wifi, so the neighbors, guests (and I) can do whatever with it. But I also struggle with the setup. It's complicated to get the wireguard interface set up, the guest wifi isolated and set up the split routing and everything so the different wifis on the router forward the traffic over different services.
