I think openvpn works completely fine for most use cases and didn’t have any trouble with it at all. I did however switch to wireguard on my gateway and I get a little better throughput compared to openvpn. That being said, I’m also using a pfsense box as my home gateway, so access to internal services has been easy as general routing gets.
I mean, if demand for restaurants goes up, wouldn’t there just be more restaurants opening up?
I agree with the landlord thing though, cause landlords are generally dicks. Maybe if local governments imposed more rent caps.
