Yeah, I know I can get more hardware to fix it (or set up a BSD router again like I did way back in '04 or whenever) but it sucks that I already have a good system that works perfectly for my needs and required no tech horse-shit on my part (I'm just... so over doing that stuff when someone's not paying me to) and the schools are punching holes in it. Got this great smoothly-running machine here, and they're tossing a wrench in the works. I did try that already with Google's router (we have Fiber) but of course it doesn't have mac-level blocking. I could swear it used to, but if it did, it doesn't now.
