... isn't this exactly that? am i missing something from your comment?`to be clear using mptcp your packets will leave your gateway on redundant links simultaneously while keeping connection characteristics such as bandwidth latency re

i don't think the typical NAT setup differs too much from a typical filtering setup. That is, only allow return traffic from public interfaces. While that is kinda implicit using NAT the change to being explicit is trivial. somewhat si

while i think this is true (any other vpn software would work too though) i want to point out that you actually can bring up a tun interface using ssh with the "-w local_tun[:remote_tun]" flag somewhat easily if you want to. It is

not sure about any details but i would guess its because for HTTPS there are security implications by doing negotiation in the clear whereas this probably doesn't have those.

is it possible to pass hardware peripherals to a virtual machine with this?

When trying to teach somebody how to do X i always avoid telling what exactly to do. instead i try to hint at my reasoning without giving the conclusion. otherwise i would probably just teach them to ask me what to do.

does somebody here know if you could install live tv providers like you could do with the usual Android based devices? i am specifically talking about this[0] app. It probably highly depends on the availability of the app store or sideloadi

i actually use fragmented mp4 streams as a method to live stream video directly to a browsers video tag. I can point any common browser directly to that stream and it will start playing immediately... ive written a small utility to proxy re

true, haven't thought this through apparently ^^

thanks for the tip but i will probably re-investigate using dnsmasq for whitelisting netflix and co using ipsets and nftables. it bothers me a bit having to set this up specifically for the TV but its probably worth it.

this is probably a good use case for an AVR (audio video receiver). you can plug the chromecast and your monitor directly to the amp and let the AVR route signals appropriately.

you can but if it cant resolve it will fallback to googles resolver automatically. At least this is what happened on my model.

i tried blocking DNS or whitelisting and you probably see that large amount of blocked requests because it tries like every second if you refuse the response.

AFAICT this works over the same pin that could carry ARC which is arguably more useful to most people and usually available at least on one port. However, devices could also communicate via DDC or CEC too although rather low bandwidth is av

i declined any agreement i could on a Samsung TV and it does not show those large banner ads to me but sometimes it shows some smaller ad near the source selection area. It looks like if you are paying enough you still get a spot there. Wha

this is merely a modification of the original software on the TV which is achieved by gaining root access on it which is currently not easily possible on more recent models.

the moment i saw something along the lines of "use Shazam on this ad spot to find out more" i was pretty certain where they were heading to.

are you really sure the problem was caused by the TV and not just exposed by it?

i had this issue but i just set the time to wait for propagation high enough to be somewhat certain and had no further issues since (its 10m i think). it does not really matter to me how long it takes as its an automated process... should b

its not really about network latency at that level. you need to acquire screen contents and render them too. if you try to send signals uncompressed bandwidth (pps) could be a problem too in that time frame. if you compress it you introduce

ive done the same on Linux using udev rules and a simple usb switch. i use it for a VM with a physical GPU attached and it worked great ever since.
