  • goes to Google, on the raw network, and on the VPN.

    You can’t “go” to a destination on two networks in a single request. It’s all packets on a wire, if it comes from two sources, it was two requests.

    Unless you mean two different requests. As in while on the VPN everything is tunneled, and while not on the VPN it’s not, but this is the opposite of what the OP was asking for. He wants the VPN on for some use cases, and off for others. That’s split tunneling.

    He’ll likely wind up with difficulties around trying to figure out which destinations he doesn’t want routed through the VPN, because there’s no way to do it by protocol, since routing happens on layer 3, not 4 or 7. He’ll likely need to know those address in advance.










  • Pass uses GPG and git under the hood.

    You create keys to encrypt your data, and keep the encrypted data in git locally which can be cloned to github, gitlab and the like.

    It’s just files on your computer, so you can back them up that way, or use a thumb drive as a remote git repo and push to it.

    Day to day Type pass and tab complete to find the entry. Enter the command and be prompted to unlock it. It will then print the credentials to the terminal.

    To create a new password, you type and add command followed by a name and a text editor opens up for you to type credentials in, or it can generate them for you.

    To keep your backup up to date you just git push to the remote of your choice. I use github

    The majority of the Internet’s routing and switching architecture is BSD based. Historically it had the most stable and performant network stack of all the OSs.

    I used it extensively at one job in a previous life when I was a network appliance developer. It was rock solid and lightning fast. Tried it as a desktop at home and had a terrible experience.

    The little differences in the Unix commands used to drive me nuts as well…
