All Cats Are Beautiful
On Linux you can do this with full control via network namespaces. I use vopono to automate it - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono
But if you can afford it I'd recommend paying for Proton's services as they offer a lot together, or a low-end VPS (where you could do it yourself, although be careful to find ones that don't ban hosting Wireguard, etc. for example). Both are really useful if you want to test making something local available on the Internet e.g. ports for multiplayer games or a webserver prototype.
ProtonVPN for port forwarding, Mullvad for easy usage (Wireguard on Linux).
I use vopono on Linux too.
The DRM is so stupid - now in the era of streaming you can get literally anything webripped day1.
DRM is obsolete (and it never really wasn't tbh).
Wasn't the bigger controversy about law enforcement and intelligence agencies buying it to bypass the need for warrants?
It has outside the UK, like the oft-presented US graph of earnings vs. productivity.
The issue in the UK is the flood of cheap labour which led to a reversal in automation e.g. car washes becoming manual again instead of machines.
As they mention in the article - the UK is almost entirely dependent on American Tech companies for cloud services, etc. so all those numbers end up better reflected in the American economy.
Really you need policies that drive a high-wage, highly productive economy - free education, high minimum wages (to effectively ban non-automation), scrap in-work welfare like tax credits subsidising unproductive companies, etc.
Wish they'd go further and encourage European industry and FOSS - the US has already gone full protectionism with the Inflation Reduction Act. And now Europe faces being overtaken by China in terms of real-terms take-home pay.
Don't just fine Apple over the App Store monopoly tactics, but actively support FairPhone and Spotify against them - with tariffs and more anti-trust rulings. Fund Arch Linux, LibreOffice, Matrix, MariaDB, etc. to cut out Microsoft and Oracle completely.
This has worked wonders for the Chinese Tech industry with Baidu, Xiaomi, Huawei, Bytedance, etc. able to compete at the highest-levels now - imagine if they'd just let their markets be dominated by Google, etc. too and be happy with their engineers just being a pool of cheap labour for them?

Worth noting that the main migration happened in 2007 and start of 2008, but look how it managed to drag on for another 4 years before really dying.
I think the same will happen here - like there'll be a lot of users on Reddit still, but it'll be heavily corporate controlled and moderated, and most comments will be on the level of "Putin small pp" etc.
Because they want only 4 people to have absolute power managing every single community and registration.
Surprise Sherlock, it isn't doable!
And then they have the audacity to demand the ability to comment and view other instances' posts without giving those instances the same right to their content.

No port forwarding really kills the utility though - I mainly use the VPN to do port forwarding (e.g. for video games, Plex, etc.) as my ISP is shit.
Like I'm not worried about state-level de-anonymisation, I just want to be able to share services remotely and have a minimum level of anonymity.
