I tried tailscale first but to be honest wasn’t a fan. I moved to Twingate and found it much simpler to set up

Personally I use twingate, free for 5 users and relatively straightforward to set up.

It’s also great for taking crayon drawings off walls.

Have children to learn hacks ;)

Unfortunately that’s very true especially regarding TV Shows.

Is it not also possible that people have found “better” ways to pirate and are not, therefore, directly visiting the sites.

My personal usage it’s most definitely up in the last 12 months but I’ve never actively searched for anything directly and I don’t torrent.

Maybe it’s just old school piracy that is down.

I don’t use reaction glasses simply because they don’t work in cars due to the UV filtering in modern glass, so I have prescription sunglasses and often forget the clear ones so if I’m out and about they’re staying on otherwise I can’t see or read.
