Hey thread -- I live in a small apartment and currently have cable internet with a cable modem I own, plus a TP-LINK Archer C9 (AC1900) router. I'm planning to switch to FiOS soon, and I'm not totally sure about what the deal is with their "router." Is it actually a combo modem/router, in which case I need it to have modem functionality, or is it just a router and I'd be a dummy to get theirs when I already have one? Secondly, and not totally thread relevant, but I might as well ask -- I haven't had cable TV for years. Is a DVR worth it if FiOS has on demand anyway?

THF13 posted:FIOS doesn't have modems so if you're getting only internet it's possible to use your own router but a little complicated (Making sure you are provisioned for ethernet vs coax, activating the service requires an official fios router). Alright, well, I can just use theirs as a bridge to mine, right? Or is theirs good enough that I should just consider using that as the primary?

Hey goons -- the goon-run VPN service that was in SA-Mart for years has finally shut down (RIP). They were pretty great and I never had any issues at all, but now I'm stuck without. Anyone have any recommendations for a replacement VPN?

SamDabbers posted:What are your goals with VPN? Anonymity? Geo-block circumvention? DMCA avoidance? Thanks for this -- ended up going with Private Internet Access. I thought I would have wanted to keep using OpenVPN as the client, since I did with HostVPN and liked it, but honestly...the PIA application seems pretty solid so far. I looked through this, but I think it's a little more setup than I was interested in doing. Thanks though!
