Chris,
Two things:
1. Get yourself high speed internet at the house. Your life will
improve greatly. If nothing else, get a MiFi from Verizon.
2. Get yourself NordVPN (or equivalent). It's a game changer. You are
trying to survive on just firewalling the bad guys out, but in
reality, you have to completely isolate. The two ways to do that is
with your own private hotspot (MiFi or home system), and a VPN.
