Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not clear on how it would help me. <br>
My workplace already has VPN access; I'm sure they're not going to want <br>
to host a second one just so that I can access personal websites from <br>
Cushman. Or does the VPN have Tor-like capability to tunnel to those <br>
sites without the need to configure a host? Or am I misunderstanding <br>
entirely?<br>
<br>
Also, while a solution that I can set up on my own laptop would be <br>
appreciated, I am hoping to be altruistic and find a way to solve this <br>
problem for everyone, so each Cushman patron doesn't need to install <br>
their own copy of third-party software.<br>

Hi Alan,<br>
<br>
I subscribe to a commercial VPN service. I generally have it turned on <br>
unless I am at home. There are many to choose from, and many blog posts <br>
compare these commercial offerings. Nord VPN is constantly given high<br>
Marks, also Proton. These are usually affordable.<br>
<br>
Lately I have also been using TailScale for more nerdy reasons. Note <br>
that this solution won’t do what you want at Cushman “out of the box” — <br>
but you could configure it to do so pretty easily. It’s an amazing <br>
service especially if you want to be able to access your private <br>
infrastructure from anywhere. The free tier is very generous.<br>
<br>
And boy do I love Cushman ! </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">❤️</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
<br>
Noah<br>
