Re: Firewalled

No changes have been made since August of 2022 that would affect your "connectable" status (how "firewalled" is defined in the database).

Something changed in the network routing between you and TTD. My former ISP (Verizon DSL and FIOS) somehow blocked the entire bittorrent protocol and I was firewalled to all sites. My current ISP (Spectrum aka Road Runner) doesn't block it in my area. However, I read that others areas are blocked. After I found out that governments around the world are saving every byte of data you transfer for analysis, I got decent VPN service. I read that the gov't is just storing the data for now and are developing AIs to analyze it at some point. It's far too much raw data for humans to analyze.

Anyway... search OVPN. My friend tells me they are a good VPN provider and lets you bypass ISP blocking and stop gov't spying for $5/month (I pay $12/mo the one I have now).
