    I worked at a hospital for 20 years… in IT,

    Hi there, I work in a small lab just upstairs and was wondering if it’s okay if I spoof a few MAC addresses to get wired internet and then use my personal VPN to torrent a few GB’s of films and games? I’m sure you understand

      I mean, a few GB would probably be done in a few seconds, so no big deal, just don’t seed past 1.5. The VPN actually makes it easier on the routers if there’s any NAT going on because the VPN handles managing the individual connection forwarding table.

      Now if you said a few TB, that might be an issue.
