The responses I received were exponentially more helpful than scouring for the information myself (which I had done).

Everyone here had experience and expertise that I did not, and I had a working solution running on my computer within 10 minutes of asking.

Part of the purpose of a community like this is evident in posts like this.

Your response, though funny, is damaging to the community, and unhelpful at best.

I understand where you were coming from, but please don’t.

This is how I would have done it in 2001.

It is my understanding that the only reason to go this route in this day and age is if you prefer to survive off the tears of cybersecurity professionals.

I’m sold! Setting it up now!

Any suggestions on where to start when looking into buying and setting up a domain?

As averse as I am to spending money on subscription services, having my own domain for less than 30 bucks a year might be worth it.

I think I’m going to try out the tailscale VPN route first before I fully warm up to buying a domain.

*Edit-You’ve definitely got me sold on getting a domain! Thank you so much for all the info!

Got it! I think this is the plan of attack I’m going with

I appreciate your response!

It looks like a VPN is the option I’m leaning towards, but I’ll definitely put the idea of buying a domain in my back pocket for a while.

That is the answer my intuition was leading me to, but I hoped I was wrong. It looks like this is an opportunity to learn something outside of my comfort zone.

That is a new concept to me, but I’ll definitely look into it.

To be clear, your suggesting I set up my home computer as a virtual private Network server that I would connect to from the TV or device outside of my home network?

The third act started on a punch to the gut that marred the playful fun the game had built up to that point.

Maybe it was because I had done Iki Island (director’s cut DLC) just before starting the third act, and it was pretty amazing. I think it hit the redemption notes of starting from scratch much better than the third act did.

Even moreso, it was also hard for me to buy the contempt against the ghost for going rogue. You’d think they would appreciate someone taking out entire armies by themselves.
