So I've gone down this 3 hour rabbit hole and now at my wits end. So let me start at the beginning... I decided I wanted to set up a vpn, I created a nord account. Then I set off to get it working on my PC, I saw that you can make your router run off of the vpn-- so that became my plan. "can not resolve host name" well asus says it's free and maybe I need to brute force the host name. *20 purposeful tries and another 30 random bs, still nothing. Ok I'll use google and buy a domain of them, easy. After spending the $12 I think I can now use sites.google.com to host my website that I made for shits and giggles. Nope... Ok I'll try google cloud, *set up 90 day free trial* ok now I can do the website thing? No... now I have to figure out which service and how to do such, some of them need to go to a different website and create an account there. "Ok maybe I'll try AWS" oh... I have no idea what I'm doing.
Anyway, wanted to share. Now I'm down 40 dollars and all I have to show for it is a special email YAY! a good use of time. now time for me to figure out how to do the vpn thing normal.
