Thank you both – and apologies. I feel I’m thick as porridge with this topic. I bought my Hassio Yellow months ago and I keep on pushing this because it is so daunting.

I finally understand the difference between what I have (connecting my device to a VPN service) and what I need (setting up a server so I can connect to my device) – so I can call myself wiser than yesterday!

ExpressVPN offers port forwarding and I’ve read about it on the Hassio website, but I am not sure that’d be the way to go for someone who baaarely knows what they are doing.

Ah. Shit (pardon my French). I understand.

I got a VPN router a while ago, and all my connections at home go through it (console, Hassio, laptop, etc.). This way I get to choose individual locations for each device.

I’m using ExpressVPN, by the way.

Would this be a first step for what you explain?

I see! I am not the owner of the license so I “piggy backed” without reading much about the options it offers.

I’ll read about it and try to set it up.

Thank you for taking the time to teach me about this!

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll check it out.

And they say money doesn’t bring happiness 😅 I wish I could…!

Sorry, I am not sure of how to answer your question…

I am using VPN to browse internet in general. If I try to access the (iOS) Hassio app without being connected to the same WiFi as my Hassio, I cannot do anything. It doesn’t even load. Should this be different?

✨Fashionably late✨

Thanks for your comment. It was hard to explain the extend of it at that time.

I basically apologised for having said it hadn’t been worth it and how I needed time to process my emotions, and he replied saying that until I apologised and explained what I wanted, he had the right not to want to interact with me.

When I apologised again and explained why I’d said what I’d said, he once again made it about his feelings and asked for an apology and for an explanation. It was making me feel really confused and disoriented, and I had to listen to my audios a couple of times to make sure I’d said what I’d said.

Thank you for this! Time for some shopping.

I agree… At least the article mentions comments saying it does work with Proton!

I see! I was also thinking the graphics looked too… chirpy for an Amnesia-like experience haha

I’ll put it on my list. Thank you!

First time I hear about this game!

You got me at connection and love. Definitely playing. Thank you!

Is it spooky but hopeful, or spooky and dark?

I’ve read “Lovecraftian creatures” and now I am worried haha

The images I checked out look beautiful.

Thank you for the rec!

Love the art style and colours. Straight to the list.

Thanks!

This sounds great. I had no idea it existed.

Thank you!

This looks wonderful. Hopeful and bright. Right what I need. Thanks!

Ooh this looks nice. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions – and the warning!

I’ll put them on the list to check out once my emotions have settled.

I knew nothing about planned pooling until your comment, and now I so want to torture myself with it give it a try!

Beautiful blanket, OP. I’m amazed at your perseverance!
