Can't quite remember the setup but I used to use Privoxy on the N900 to route my traffic through a remote connection while mobile. VPN/SSH tunnel style. I do use Pihole, but I think this is more versatile. At least it would be if

A Japanese friend tells me the blue is in reference to the 'Mongolian blue spot'[0] that most Asian, Pacific, Native and African American babies tend to have.... Basically bodies with lots of melanin in them; it's a cluster o
