    SteveGaming got a reaction from da na in Experiences with non-techies   
    Last night, my mother asked me to put Breaking Bad Season 1 on the DVD player for her, I turned it on after finally skipping through episodes to find out which one she was to watch next as she had forgotten... She then called me through to her room three times; because she accidentally turned it off (She tried to pause it), I put the episode back on and went back through to play CSGO she shouted for me again, this time she tried to turn the volume up and turned the DVD player off a second time! I then went back through to continue playing my game, twenty minutes later "STEPHENNNN, STEVEEEE" This time she accidentally hit the remote and again turned it off.

    Let's say you get this to work. You block your own access to the US servers. Then what?
     
    You've not changed the preference of the local server co connect you to a game on a US server. All that's going to happen is the matchmaking system is going to push your system to a game on a US server, you won't be able to connect and get dropped out of either that match or the server in general. So you'll go from joining games with high ping to not being able to play at all.
     
    You can try using a VPN service with an exit server in the US. I've read posts that guys were getting lower pings while using VPN. It's possible that the VPN provider may have a better route and shave a few ms off of your ping. In the end, there's nothing you can do about the propagation delays, so it won't help all that much.

    While I'm no expert, this is my understanding of how the connection sharing in windows works - the two adaptors turn into a virtual switch, and instead of your computer getting internet directly from the port that is actually connected, it gets connected to this virtual switch internally. Only after this virtual switch does the Windows Firewall come into play. Things are different for Windows Server running the RRAS role, which basically makes the server into a router.
    So for you, I don't think there is a way to do IP blocking with your current setup. I would suggest, as you said, a router that can do the IP blocking.

    UPDATE
     
    Today at work, Kirsty was fired for not showing up on a sick day... I'm not going to lie I was extremely happy. Then I get a call when I'm leaving to walk home from my mother telling me to come home as soon as possible, Kirsty has showed up at the house with her mother explaining the situation... We all sat in my living room and talked it through and Kirsty's mother was explaining she wanted to go to the police but after I explained my side of the story as best as I could we have found mutual ground and we understand how this whole drama happened. This is the best way this whole situation could have been resolved, they are not taking it any further with the police and we have all made up. 
    From this whole experience I have learned that I need to stop pretending I'm someone else, I'm a good person but I've tried really hard to fit in and it's back fired completely. I appreciate everyone on this forum helping me through this time... I can't thank you all enough for showing support to someone you've never met and for that I'm forever grateful.  
    I would also like it for a moderator to remove this thread as I would like to remove all trace that this ever happened.
    Thank you.

    You are giving great advise, and I'm so glad you are caring about some random internet guy sitting at a computer... I can assure you I'm not normally the sort of person that gets involved with these types of people, before this job I barely would drink at all maybe once a month if that and I only smoked weed like once every two months so the drugs have only been since I started this job. If you've seen Wolf of Wall Street that is kind of a good comparison to the place I work only we collect debt by calling people who owe money. Pretty much everyone I work with goes out every weekend and does the same thing. 
    They do have my phone number and they do know where I live... so yeah.
     
    I can't leave the job or I'll look like a pussy, and I'm not the best at arguing as I don't have much experience with that... I'm terrified.

    You were not sleeping Kirsty...
    If you're saying I touched you up that night why didn't you tell me to leave right away?
    Why did you ask me to come into your room after we woke up? surely if something that bad happened you would've kicked me the out of your house?
    If I really sexually assaulted you which is what you are claiming then why wouldn't you call the police and get me arrested?
    The answer to all of these questions is because you're a lying slut and you need to fuck off and leave me alone i don't want anything to do with you, Karris or anyone who believes their bullshit.

    You don't deserve it dude. Women these days (most of them) are cold emotionless harpies that only want to hurt. All I can say is that hanging out with large groups of people is always a bad idea, as people these days "use people and care about stuff" rather than using stuff and caring about people.

    I'd love to provide some advice here however I'm in pain right now and I can't read through everything due concentration being cut ughh(I apologize)....

    Can someone summarize this for me?  
     
    From what I'm able to garner right now, this seems to be a classic case of work and personal life separation issue. You keep work and personal life things separate from one another, they should never meld unless your work requires it. Got a job? Yes? Then do your job right keep that personal life drama out of it, professionalism is something you should keep up at high standards when it comes to work.

    All right, now that I know that then this will be easier. 
    What to do: Keep a low profile like I said earlier and do NOT talk with any of the girls outside of your work environment. These people seem cruel, as simple as that. It's one thing to reject you or say they're not interested in you but it's a completely different thing to damage your reputation like this. Seriously, DO NOT interact with any more girls from your workplace. I just keep repeating this because for us men, it's so easy to fall for a simple: "Please please... I really want to set things right between us" or something like that. I don't want to scare you but you are lucky none of them is threatening with alleged sexual assault or something like that. That's why you have to think really hard about this following week.
    Drugs and alcohol: I'm just some dude behind a computer helping another dude behind a computer so you may or may not take this next piece of advice but... that doesn't mean I won't stop trying to help you. If I were you, I would quit both of these for now. I don't know if you're a heavy user or not but, seriously, you need to have your brain turned on for these next couple of weeks. Whenever you start feeling anxious, sad, angry or any other feeling, do exactly what you did in the first place: write everything on a piece of paper and then rip it apart or burn it. Trust me, you will feel better.
    BTW, do they have your cellphone number or email address or anything like that?
