Publisher matters. Some random website advertising a disk cleaning utility could be malware while a Fitgirl repack most definitely isn’t. Installing something from an official Ubuntu software repository is also pretty safe, while something from a 3rd party repository or community development library could be malware. I also generally trust PDFs from Anna’s Archive and Libgen or Internet Archive, because of the reputation loss to them if it were. You can minimize your risk to a tolerable level this way.

I’ve got news for you, that’s slime not mint.

Mac OS X was installed in 2010/2011. Back when people didn’t hate Apple.

My dad did in 2011. Wikipedia says this is a popular model to Hackintosh.

In that instance maybe run docker with gluetun and qbitnox. It’s a bit difficult to setup but will sort of achieve what you’re looking for.

Can you set the interface in qbit to tun?

I watched some old Minecraft let’s play a while back and I think it’s gone forever now. Really wish I had somehow downloaded a copy before it just bleeped out.

I call them after what service is running on it. E.g. openvpn.

AirVPN is great. I got it during the Halloween / Cyber Monday sale. 3 years for $70

OK. I think I get it. So people enable uPnP on their routers and then open Minecraft’s port using uTorrent (or any other program that opens a port with uPnP). And they do all of that instead of just logging into their NAT routers. Honestly, sounds like something I would do before I knew networking concepts, though if it were explained to me it would be a million times more confusing than just learning how to configure NAT.

Can you explain this? I have so many questions.

This is hilarious because I can attest to this. I took a class where we were partially graded on security - part of that was proper SQL parameterization. Half of my team couldn’t / wouldn’t be bothered to do so. It was just impossibly hard to get them to do so, almost as if I was asking them to do 10 pushups for every line of code.
