I know, and I fully understand if you stay far away from PIA for those reasons. But like I said, PIA has proven (in court) that they actually provide anonymity.

I know this was all a big deal when PIA was taken over, and everybody was afraid PIA would be ruined. But none of that happened. Maybe it’s just a matter of time, who knows.

PIA has port forwarding and have proven not to log user data too.

I use both and let the “arr suite” decide which one to chose. I mainly use torrents for international stuff like movies, usenet for local (Dutch) stuff like TV series.

Why don’t you host your own server? You need as much as NUC or Raspberry Pi even combined with a couple of harddisks or SSD’S.

I feel your pain, I wish pi’s could be powered with PoE without modifications.

Yes I think you’ll need Home Assistant for that. You can add any Zigbee device to Homekit if it’s connected to Home Assistant; that’ll bypass the Hue account requirement.

Just buy a Zigbee stick and you don’t have to change all your existing hardware.

Shelly works with Wi-Fi which I don’t prefer personally.

Who would have expected that?!

You need more?!

Looking into privacytests.org, the main developer behind it is someone who contributes to Brave source code. He may not be officially affiliated with the company, but it would be hard to ignore any sort of bias towards Brave.

(how do you tag someone here?)

Buy a zigbee stick and use zigbee lamps; they are widely available (Ali, Ikea, Philips etc) and this solution doesn’t cost a fortune. It also prevent you from needing to throw the lamps away whenever the app stops working or the manufacturing company goes bankrupt.
