Setting up your router with a VPN is not as complicated as you think. If you want complete protection for the entire network of connected devices, it's well worth the effort. Whether it's your home, office, or business, your VPN router can bring the benefits of a VPN connection to as many users as you want. I went to bestvpnprovider, and I chose one of the best VPN for torrenting on the market which are, and I use one of them. It helps a lot when you have a business, and they must be maximized when needed. Do you use VPN for security?

Kinda hard to do when you're already out of town. Can people just post helpful information rather than blaming the family?

Oh, I forgot. This is DCUM.

sometimes you have to use your phone as a hotspot and then connect to hotel wifi to accept the terms and conditions page. google hotel wifi and you should be able to find the page the wifi is sending you too.

Exactly! Talk about entitled!

To be fair they may be housing insecure or need to be in a hotel for a reason that isn’t traveling during a pandemic

Thanks. Was it a MacBook too or was is an iPad? My ES DD has no problem connecting to this same WiFi on her APS iPad.

Yes that what we’re doing now. But we don’t have unlimited data so it could become a quite expensive workaround if APS doesn’t help solve it...

Unable to get any response from APS so asking here. We’re at a hotel right now and its WiFi has a login page. DS’ APS MacBook does not connect to the internet even after it gets past the login page. He said the APS VPN is blocking it. He’d tried to contact the IT department since Sunday but hasn’t heard back yet. If your kid had this issue before but was able to get around please share the solution. I’ll post back if APS gets back to him.
