I’m currently stuck in a used bedroom infested with flies at the time of writing this.

My parents have decided to block internet whenever I try to move my PC back upstairs. Asking them wouldn’t work out because it usually falls on deaf ears.

A few days ago, they moved it without my knowledge, and I noticed that my folding table was gone from my bedroom.

I’m planning to set it back up again, but they might turn my internet off when they catch me. I’m trying to get a few ideas and create a plan to move my PC back upstairs.

I found a few tutorials on getting through parental controls, but the tutorials are done on Windows and parental controls are set up using TP-Link.

    Add in the modern problem of having the kids use up all our bandwidth downloading games

    My wife and I WFH and could run simultaneous web calls no problem. As soon as a kid started downloading a new game or update, our meetings lagged

    We have fibre now so it isn’t an issue, but these are things my parents never had to deal with

      For people still dealing with this issue, check the QoS (Quality of Service) features on your router if this sort of problem happens to you. You can give priority to certain types of traffic (like streaming or video conferencing) so that the massive 100+GB Steam download won’t ruin your day.
