    Sure… but now you’re supporting their whole network because you need the vpn in place. It quickly becomes a whole thing of support just to let your cousin’s kid watch some old shows you have in your library.

        Well I was taking it gracefully as a split-vpn. But yeah it’s a fair question to have if it’s misconfigured, or relying on something in your network (Eg, maybe you also setup a pihole and they lost DNS resolution due to vpn going down.) God knows with these random half-features that many consumer “routers” that are out there.
