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.

    So, you can work around these things but you’re going to run into problems if you do:

    -If you reset the router, you need to restore the original password else they’ll know

    -if they notice you using these devices when you wouldn’t have access, they’ll remove them further from your reach. Possibly permanently.

    -If detected, a larger conflict is likely to be escalated. This includes a loss of the benefit of the doubt in the future.

    I’d suggest that this is not the battle to fight. They’re likely fighting your apparent obsession with tech. Let them have this battle and continue your fun later.

    Try the Stormlight Archive, wheel of time, or mistborn books. Maybe the redwall books if you’re younger. Fun and focus can still be had without a computer!
