So how do I make my mom do this? /s Seriously, even I would have to spend a day or two to figure this out. We need something simple for 99.99% of people to use.

- amatecha 2y agoYeah, my point is that toggling some settings in Facebook won't do much of anything if you don't want to be tracked by these scumbags. I mean, regardless, your mom doesn't have to do anything if you swap her crappy ISP-provided router with a new router running opnsense or pfsense (and a bit of configuration to block the Meta-related domains). Entire households can become Meta-free with a single hardware swap. It doesn't require that much tech knowledge to do it - the one tech-savvy person in an extended family of dozens can do this stuff.
- bjelkeman-again 2y agoI get it. A lot of people on HN seem to think every family has a tech nerd in it to do this. I’d rather we had spa consume solution for it. But I suspect we’ll never get there.
- ranguna 2y agoOnce you have things running, all you have to do is connect your mom's phone to your vpn.
- ericjmorey 2y agoSetting up a piehole at your mom's house would require your mom to do nothing. But it will break a lot of things that she'll prot complain about.
