I did notice that Nik mentioned using an ssh tunnel for *all* system
traffic, and I like that idea, too. It sounds kinda like Tails, or its
Devuan version, Heads; I tried out both, but wanted to stick with my own
Devuan system, so that may show the way for me there.
An ssh tunnel for *all* system traffic is just a VPN. Buy a cheap VPS
(<$25US/yr) which becomes your 'VPN provider.' Then follow published guides
to setup you local proxy and/or network interface to route through the SSH
tunnel to your VPS.
It’s pretty easy.
To make it a bit easier (and harder at the same time?) setup a LEAF* box on a
Pi (or that other $35 dollar computer on a board) to provide DHCP and then
you computer doesn’t even know it’s being re-routed. This is the easiest way
to do ‘whole house’ VPN type stuff.
Best,
Michael
