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 know that I'm doing so. 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.

there's two possibilities for this wifi blocking:

it's setup to only allow whitelisted devices, in this case you're fucked, only option is to pretend to be some whitelisted device
it's a blacklist, in this case changing your mac address will make you appear to be a new device, anyone monitoring the device list could see the unknown device appear

I know nobody likes a know-it-all. But FYI: The current suggestion is to call these allowlist and blocklist. I'm not sure how they're called on the router. The terms have been out there for a few years already.

Are people really trying to make blacklist and whitelist a race thing? Good Lord.

Are we going to start referring to cables as having female-identifying ends and male-identifying ends? Are USB-C cables non-binary?

hi, nonbinary person here

no, you fucking doughnut! just say plug/socket or port/plug or keep calling it M/F, there are thousands of better fights to fight than this, and if anyone says otherwise, let them yell at the clouds alone.
