Evening Reading

The presents are under the tree and it's a long haul until Saturday! Definitely looking foward to seeing what I've got coming to me this year and excited about what I've gotten for my fiancee.

I'm also looking forward to playing some games on my backlog from this year over the short break. What will you be playing on your vacation, if anything?

Can someone tell me what is wrong with my internet? I can't access any websites, chrome keeps trying to connect but times out.

I can ping the addresses just fine (ie. google.com etc) but going to the url by ip doesn't work either.

If I connect to a VPN everything works. Disconnect and I can't resolve shit.
