    Use routers that support site-to-site VPNs, that way any additional households connect to the main household, and everyone’s IP address looks like it’s coming from the same, singular household.

    Note that I have no idea how the Steam client is verifying location. If they send out ARP probes and cut access if they can’t detect the other device running Steam on the same layer 2 network this probably won’t work. People use segmented subnets and vlans in their home networks though, so i would assume that it’s just a public IP thing.

    You presented one that doesn’t have security vulnerabilities? Here’s yet another CVE out for trendnet: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-19239

    Every. Single. Brand. Has. CVEs. I’ve used Mikrotik, I’ve used Cisco, I’ve used Juniper, I’ve used Ubiquiti. I have a trendnet Poe switch in my attic powering some cameras and an AP right now. I have no “problem” with any brand of anything.

    I do have a problem with you implying that a company doesn’t take security seriously when they do. I start to think you’re intentionally lying when you lift up trendnet as the model, because they have quite an especially atrocious history of it.

    Yeah I’ve worked at WISPs that were pushing TBs through their core routers every day. Those core routers? Mikrotiks. Every apartment buildings core routers and fiber aggregation switches? Mikrotiks. You had to get down to the access layer switches that fed the individual apartments to hit Cisco equipment.

    This person is just repeating some shit they read somewhere, hoping it makes them sound knowledgeable. In another post they’re recommending trendnet shit. Get back to me when you can set up BGP peering on your trendnet lol.

    I currently use AI, through Nvidia Broadcast, to remove the sound of the literal server rack feet away from my xlr mic in my definitely not sound treated room so people I’m gaming with don’t wind up muting me. It also removes the clickety clack of my blue switches and my mouse clicks, all that shit.

    It’s insanely reliable, and honestly a complete godsend. I could muck around with compressors and noise gates to try to cut out the high pitch server fan whine, but then my voice gets wonky and I’ve wasted weeks bc I’m not an audio engineer but I’m obsessive, and the mic is still picking up my farts bc why not use an xlr condenser mic to shit talk in cs?

    Edit - Oh, I also use the virtual speaker that Broadcast creates as the in-game (or Discord or whatever) voice output, and AI removes the same shit from other people’s audio. I’ve heard people complaining about background music from another teammates open mic while all I hear is their perfectly clear voice. It’s like straight up magic.
