      Think I’m going to start using a VPN for streaming location spoofing and privacy from my ISP. The easiest way would be to just run the VPN client on each of my devices. The problem is that I’ve been using a pi-hole and after seeing how much gets blocked I’d like to keep using something like it. I know just enough to be dangerous and I’m looking into pfSense so I hope you guys can answer a few questions before I jump in...

      I assume I could keep using a pi-hole if I wanted to while also using a VPN configured on a pfSense router right? I understand I could also use PfBlockerNG instead of a pi-hole to do the same things I think.

      I’m still looking at VPN providers but what seems to be common amongst all of them is that it is pretty easy to change servers if you are using a VPN client on a device but a pain if you are running it on a router. It would be nice to be able to switch geographical locations while using the VPN. Can I pre-configure different VPN server locations in pfSense and then turn them on and off as I need to?

      Alternatively , can pfSense make a streaming box use a particular VPN server and all other traffic on my network use another?

      Thanks for any info you can send my way!

              Yeah knew that was going to happen.. Could tell from the IP.. I don't think we have 1 legit user from there.. It's just spam..

              Your googlefu in finding the threads they are coping from is better than mine - I searched and could not find where they had copy pasted from.
