"Show HN" is nice because it signals to the community that the submitter is posting their own work. I hope merging the threads doesn't spoil the feeling :)

It was incredibly confusing before I saw this comment LOL.

I was saying to myself I know that the one that I submitted yesterday didn't make it to the front page and I know I wasn't imagining it.

However, I'm not sure by your comment if the assertion was I did it under two accounts. If for any reason there was that presumption I would like to state I didn't make duplicate posts under multiple accounts. That was someone else doing it on their own.

Also curiously the post lost its points it seems? No matter just noticed.

Oh I came across your post on Reddit and got interested in using it; I already use pihole for local DNS and need to set up a VPN.

I submitted it to Hacker News this morning and looks like they just merged threads. Sad to lose mine :'(

Thanks and glad it was of use! Sorry you lost yours.

No shame in that, just dropping links and references. Great project!

Thanks!
