I disagree that users won't do stuff on their own. They will, but they will allocate very little time to it, on average, especially when compared to a tech savy person.

"quotes" make sure all results contain the word.
-apple make sure you wont see results where the page contains this word

to simple wireguard? there are wireguard based mesh network solutions out there
