I would suggest trying wireguard first as it’s much less complex to set up. Once you have a handle on that, you might consider moving to a mesh network. I personally would love to use a mesh network, but have not been able to get it configured correctly the few times I’ve tried.

I ended up going with migadu. Seems great so far. Already up and running with 3 domains and dozens of aliases.
Forwarded mail but it may be two way in the future so it would probably be smart to just go that route from the beninging.
Problem solved. The firewall was attempting to pass traffic through the default gateway. You have to create a firewall rule to allow whatever traffic you want but in the advanced settings you need to select the wireguard gateway instead.
I'm using a pretty good VPN and I still get ads.
amazonads has already been blocked but I just blocked amazon and waiting to see if that does the trick.
I haven't.
Yep. Also as extra protection from any phoning home to Topaz. It’s not possible run the software firewalled, since it needs to download the AI models once you try to run anything.
I tried a couple but had no luck running them in VMs so I gave up.
With this method, would I be able to use an iPad as a display for windows 10? If so, are there any downsides? I remember trying Duet Display years ago but they charge a monthly fee which is absurd. And performance was not great.
Good idea. I was leaning heavily towards those raspberry pi monitors.
Your question is a good one. I'm not the one who downvoted you fyi. To answer your question, it is absolutely a personal anecdote based on my own experimentation. I'm sure others will add their own experiences. Based on my experiences there's no doubt about twitch shadowbanning based on VPN use. I'll admit I don't have a basis for Linux and adblockers being a part of the equation, but I made it clear in my original post that those were assumptions.
To further speculate, I have an idea that the shadowban may actually be triggered by somebody using the same VPN server doing something that triggers it, affecting anybody else on that server. I can't possibly provide evidence for that theory, but it would explain the seemingly random nature of the shadowbans.
