    Needing recommendations on wiring house for ethernet

    We will be moving into a new (to us) home in a couple months. The house is 3800sq ft, is 10 yrs old and has had some work done already. There is an outdoor security camera system (Swann I think, with NVR) installed with PoE which is staying. The "media room" also has 1 ethernet jack installed...

    How best to utilize my VPN service

    So in light of the stuff going on in the US, I decided that now is the time to get a VPN service. I've settled on Nord VPN. The problem though is that it has a 6 device connection limit. Also the software doesn't seem to automatically start when booting (be it Windows, Android, or iOS). At any...
