Port forwarding with a privateinternetaccess.com VPN
I use a VPN to encrypt all of my traffic. It's great when you're on a network that likes to monitor what you're doing, or when you want to be somewhat more difficult to trace, or when you need to get around location-based restrictions. But there's one problem: using a VPN means that there's an extra routing step between you and the internet, and if you want to have internet-facing ports open, they'll need to be forwarded. The problem with that is that your host will usually have a number of clients sharing the same public IP address at the same time, so you can't just get them to forward whichever ports you want. The service I use does offer the ability to request that a port be forwarded, but you don't get to choose which port it is, you only get one, and it might change each time you connect. I want to have a port open for bittorrent, but I don't want to have to constantly check which port I got forwarded, then manually change the bittorrent sett...

A: So, are you coming to the halloween party?
B: Are you kidding? It's the highlight of my yearly social calendar!
A: So i take it you already have a costume?
B: Yes, i'm going to be a gypsy.
A: Fascinating. What kind of a gypsy?
B: What do you mean, what kind? A gypsy costume is a gypsy costume. You've seen them; they're kind of like pirates, but with more gold and ruffles, and they live in wagons instead of ships.
A: Thank you for educating me!
B: Any time. So, what are you going as?
A: Well, i was going to go as Catwoman, but i find your idea of impersonating another ethnicity highly inspiring. I think i'll go as a Gadje.
B: A what?
A: A person who is not Romani, a non-gypsy. Generally understood to be a member of the majority white population.
B: That's weird. That doesn't sound like fun. You can't really dress up…and you sound kind of angry.
A: So in your culture, dressing up as another identity means you're angry at them?
B: That's not what i said. Why are you hispanics always so defensive?
A: I'm not hispanic!
B: Sorry, "latino".
A: I'm not latino, either. But i'm going to have a lot of fun with my costume. I find white Americans very exotic, in a lightly seductive way. They're kind of like the English, but instead of tea and crumpets they all drink coca-cola and eat grilled cheese sandwiches. It's really no wonder you all have such poor nutrition.
B: What the hell are you talking about?
A: I'm joking about your culture. I have read many books and made some astute observations. I have to go make my costume now. It will be sooo authentic.
