Who would have thought all those years ago you'd become an internet influencer Rossco haha! Nice one.

Why the hell are all the ads on my Youtube now written and spoken in Croation/Serbian?? What's going on tonight?

I'm basically living in a motel these days for work and using their wifi. Think I seriously need to learn about VPNs.

Was doing some internet banking earlier too. Sheesh...

For some reason my "favourite" link changed from Youtube to Youtube(cz). Weird shit going on here. Have changed it back to normal and no more annoying ads in jibberish just annoying ads that I can understand again.

Hi mate, what platform are you using? PC or phone?

It could have been something you did accidental, but your PC could also be compromised. Personally things like that would be reason enough for me to burn it all and start again. (Or roll back to a backup from pre-CZ)

Also, adblock+ and ublock origin are available as chrome add-ons. Other browsers should have similar (except probably microsoft)
Personally recommend Chromium (not chrome), Vivaldi, Brave or Opera, as alternate and better browsers.

Not a silly idea. NordVPN is a minimal cost for the security benefit.
If you have a teenager, or an IT department, you could probably set up a PC at home/office that acts as your own private VPN and not have to pay for the service.

Easier to do it from the modem, but a VPN won't protect you from anything, just from filtering at the ISP level, as it creates a private tunnel to the www that the ISP doesn't monitor. Won't stop spam and won't stop malicious attacks either.

Need some help please...

I've been using powerline adaptors in the garage to connect my cameras and they've been playing up lately.

I'll found this.

TP-Link Deco E4 (2-pack) AC1200 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System

Am I reading it right. I want something that I can place in the garage, connect that unit wireless and then connect to my DVR by ethernet.

Cheers..
