I keep telling this story on every opportunity. I found out that IT blocked some game on my kids school network, and their peers were sharing this wisdom to get around it: "go on the app store, search free VPN and install the first one that comes up.

That is how this backfires. It just sets kids up as targets of the worst scum. And turns their devices into good little botnet nodes.

My kids devices went on my own tailnet that night so they could play the game.
