Dad may be installing a network proxy, help. (Rant on parental restrictions)

if it's "part of being human" then yes it does. if not having love doesn't make you less human, then having love isn't part of being human

not having love at all is certainly less normal than having love. you're reading too far into what he's saying if you think he's saying they're sub-human.

Spark up the Tor browser, my dad has some OpenDNS stuff on my network (not to restrict me even tho it does block research). Works for me.

Now that you know that I don't have my own password.

you're not the only one
i'm 18 and i don't have my own password
on the bright side my network usage doesn't get monitored, so there's that

[Blake1Studios]

Stand up for yourself, Blake
I'm serious, this will probobaly only get worse over time it's best to make a stand right here right now
Tell your parents to back off a bit. Tell them you're a responsible teenager, you're growing up and they don't have to watch over you like eagles or something

We've had several discussions around the same context. It's usually resulted in the same fate of, "can I have an allowance?" They say make some changes and I can get a bit more freedom, when at the same time they're afraid to give me said freedom. Sucks.

Your parents sound like liberals

So the odds are he will either add it to your router, in which case your forgeted. But if its a computer application then he surely isn't going to install it on your mom's PC... Right?

Uh I dunno. If he does I'm completely screwed as that is my current means of getting on during the night, since I'm rarely on during the day anymore.

What has me curious is what in particular that they saw on the forums

To be quite honest I don't know what they saw. It was back in December when I was flipping out at everyone and got drama'd, so I'm assuming they saw my banned account and stuff. They intended to talk to me about it, and even hinted that I had been "saying inappropriate things on the internet" but they never punished me or discussed with me about it.

We used to have OpenDNS before the old router and modem got fried by the lightning strike a year ago. I never really cared too much about it, all it did was monitor network usage with some stupid graphs and block suspicious websites. Now of course if there's heavy network usage at 12am (caused by me) they'll most definitely get suspicious, but it's my only means of actually getting on the computer now.

Yeah it sucks. :(

I have never had this issue because when I got really interested in my tech stuff, I became the IT Admin for the entire house. I setup routers, I setup new installs, I keep everything alive. I know all the passwords cause I made them.

just change your password and don't tell them what it is

[shitlord]

i think you should just boot a linux distro
i see no reason to do anything else

This is actually not a bad idea. Just rip one to a usb and boot it live.

[The Murderous Cop]

Use another proxy.
Seriously, get OpenVPN and a good profile (some you might have to pay for) and you'll be set.

[CRITAWAKETS]

From what i read by fox your dad is just trying to fix network issues,no biggie.

excuse me son what are you doing on these forums I thought I blocked them???

[-Setro-]

if they caught you it's all on you for using the internet at night (when they specifically told you not to, im guessing?)
if they didn't then they're dumbo

[Gojira]

just change your password and don't tell them what it is

i don't have the password for the main account
and they get mad and pissy when i don't tell them the password for my new account
but for years they've been withholding the password from me so

[Harm94]

you mean

conservatives...

right?

It can go both ways
