  • Thanks for the question - I value the ease of configuring SOCKS5 directly in an application. As you mentioned, WireGuard split tunneling can be done with a bit more work - which is knowledge I don’t have at the moment and will take time to acquire.

    My ISP is not proactive in deep scanning my traffic, so SOCKS5 has been entirely sufficient in in covering me against copyright notices for the past years.

    I have Gluetun ready to go for for my torrent program on my server that I can better seed, but on my workstation I’m typically not running a VPN - and the odd time I might fire up a torrent program it is nice to have the proxy settings baked in to the application in case I forget to or don’t care to toggle the VPN on.














  • The war-bond setup is what killed my interest in the game. I had the time to play 1 - 2 drops a week in which there is no way to earn enough premium currency to come anywhere close to unlocking a war-bond, meaning all the glory points (or whatever it’s called) from completing missions sit there maxed out and any new ones are lost until some are spent - but I have nothing to spend it on until I unlock a war-bond.

    Too much of the design is around FOMO, so I opted out and shelved it.





  • NWN is one of (if not my all time) favourite game, both offline and online.

    I played through the NWN2 SP campaign and thoroughly enjoyed it ( though I started and never finished the final expansion.)

    The biggest disappointment for me was the changes to multiplayer that made it a lot harder to drop into servers. If I am recalling correctly, you had to pre-download (outside of the game) the meshes for landscapes before joining a server. It was a huge barrier to entry, and even dedicated communities that tried to move from 1 over to 2, faltered.
