This was the result of much research, I’m not entirely new to the space. No one got these peripherals to work on that device, unfortunately.

I don’t understand what you mean by this isn’t an issue for most people. Most people do care about a webcam not working right. Or do jou mean my device isn’t representative? That could be, but it doesn’t mean people with this device have a good Linux experience if they install it.

I wanted to give new life to an old acer laptop/tablet hybrid. I installed Linux, but the webcam and microphone just won’t work no matter what. The power button also doesn’t work.

There’s still a long way to go before any casual user would accept this.

In the Netherlands, almost all houses have a thermostat. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have one

Thanks! Unfortunately my VPN is OpenVPN and doesn’t support Wireguard yet :(

Cool! And you can easily control the mini router from your devices so that it connects to the hotel WiFi or whatever network you want?

Interesting! I’m new to this, this is really valuable! What made you choose this approach?

Understood, yes it’s a kill switch. I’ll test your set of rules in a bit and let you know!

Except that that set of rules doesn’t work, or do you mean defining a default gateway?

Interesting, but by the time I apply the rules the VPN connection has already been established. Wouldn’t that remove the necessity for the last line?

I guess what I’m really trying to do is make sure that whatever happens, if the vpn fails (tun0), there is no more communication with the Internet.
