I'm currently stuck in a used bedroom infested with flies at the time of writing this.

My parents have decided to block internet whenever I try to move my PC back upstairs. Asking them wouldn't work out because it usually falls on deaf ears.

A few days ago, they moved it without my knowledge, and I noticed that my folding table was gone from my bedroom.

I'm planning to set it back up again, but they might turn my internet off when they catch me. I'm trying to get a few ideas and create a plan to move my PC back upstairs.

I found a few tutorials on getting through parental controls, but the tutorials are done on Windows and parental controls are set up using TP-Link.

One of these is $40 USD, and can be configured to provide a VPN for all through-traffic. They're small, portable, discrete, and cheap. I love these devices. The slightly more expensive model gives you WiFi 6. They were designed as portable bridges for insecure locations, creating a private LAN; they are powered by USB-C, so could be run off a laptop.

This would be the first thing I'd try.
