- mapgrep 13y agoAh thanks. The TLDR seems to be "VPN can handle UDP and other non TCP connections, e.g. for YouTube".
- dschep 13y agoSimpler, more vpn-like solution can be done via Sshuttle[0] or (albeit less simple afaict) with `ssh -w local_tun[:remote_tun]` [0] https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle
- bluedino 13y agoYour apps have to support SOCKS proxies for one.
