Thanks! Unfortunately my VPN is OpenVPN and doesn’t support Wireguard yet :(

Cool! And you can easily control the mini router from your devices so that it connects to the hotel WiFi or whatever network you want?

Interesting! I’m new to this, this is really valuable! What made you choose this approach?

Understood, yes it’s a kill switch. I’ll test your set of rules in a bit and let you know!

Except that that set of rules doesn’t work, or do you mean defining a default gateway?

Interesting, but by the time I apply the rules the VPN connection has already been established. Wouldn’t that remove the necessity for the last line?

I guess what I’m really trying to do is make sure that whatever happens, if the vpn fails (tun0), there is no more communication with the Internet.

Hmm, but wouldn’t that allow applications to communicate on wlan0 without using the vpn?

Thanks for your help and excuse my ignorance.

I see, but then how would I disable everything else? Should I not use the default rules?

It does, but later I have the rules to counteract those, for the VPN specifically: sudo ufw allow in on tun0 sudo ufw allow out on tun0

So that would open that up again, or am I wrong?

That makes sense, but it’s possible that the VPN connection drops for a second, and then it can’t re-establish it, right? How would I deal with that?

What field do you work in?

Soon maybe not anymore

I need to use those drivers since I’m an avid gamer, so maybe Debian isn’t the right one for me. I’ll look into Mint. I’m not entirely new to the space, I’ve configured headless raspberry pi’s and have a little home server, but I’m new to using it as a desktop environment.

So would that mean that Debian tends to be more stable?

Linux isn’t that far behind anymore in terms of gaming. Business applications are a real issue though. I use Adobe Premiere Pro, as far as I know there’s no good alternative on Linux

I just switched everything over to a European provider: cloud, email, office programs. I’m also seriously considering using Linux now

I’m entering the Linux space, is Debian better or worse than Fedora?

In what way does it look outdated?

I don’t think the main message is not approaching women anywhere. I think the main message is actually making friends before making a move. Not just asking someone out.

I’ve had 2 relationships and am in a happt marriage going on 10 years, and each one started by being friendly and sharing interests, because then it’s natural to go do something together sometime.

Don’t overcomplicate it, just be friendly and make it natural to spend time together.
