Comment Attn. Router Owners (Score 1) 110

Just start using any of the open source firmwares that are constantly tweaked and updated (almost to a fault) like Tomato and DDWRT. They are very flexible and have different flavors to fit your needs and nothing you don't want so as to lessen the target size and entryway vector number and are fully auditable. I recommend the Toastman tomatousb vintage with VPN and 5ghz.

Comment As An Aside... (Score 3) 107

As one of a lot of "early contributors/gamma testers" I can say this will be a rather good game, at least better and more approachable than EVE Online...which I despise. It has more of a BattleTech/XvT vibe. It won't usher in Ragnarok or raise the dead but it will be worth the wait for most people who would decide to play it anyway.

VPN sessions are most likely strongly encrypted insulating against any snooping on your connection...any cookies needed for the session are ephemeral keyfiles. Make sure your connection terminates quickly enough if the tunnel is broken and watch for DNS leaking. No logs could betray any data that would be of any use, some VPN companies say they don't keep logs (probably true, don't bet your life) and you can change server/IPs in a couple clicks. If you are paranoid, connect Tor through a VPN tunnel but this can be risky unless you watch what you are doing. Most VPNs are very safe, much safer than not having one at least.
