[Discuss] Request for possible topic for next LINUX Group Meeting

[Murray Strome]

Hi Craig and Jean,

Thanks for the links.

I have difficulty in seeing how $85/year and from what I read about it, 
to be effective, you would need at least two VPN accounts for vpnrotator 
to offer any extra protection.

Unanswered: Is there any point in installing Wireguard server on the 
OpenWRT router and client on the computers on my LAN?
