Have some fun at the same time: 1) get a vpn account (proton, other) 2) hack your worst enemy's wifi with your favourite tools 3) while outside your enemy's home, boot a linux live distro 4) change your computer's name to your enemy's name 5) connect to the enemy's wifi 6) try to visit all the sites banned by your country 7) insult your country's leader in a public forum using your enemy's name 8) test the speed of the suspected rate-limited site 9) set-up your vpn account settings 10) using your vpn, re-test the rate-limited site 11) subtracting a fair percentage slow down because of the vpn, gauge if there's a significant difference between the two tests 12) turn off computer, go home, enjoy tasty beverage 13) grab some popcorn, go watch your enemy's house from a reasonable distance 14) post video on youtube of your enemy getting busted, using your favourite heading

If that's all too much fun for you, then skip most of it and only do #s 8 to 11 from your own network or favourite hot-spot.
