Kevin Karhan :verified:Issues aside it's now 15 years since I started using <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Tor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tor</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/@torproject" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@torproject</a> & <a href="https://social.librem.one/@guardianproject" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@guardianproject</a> / <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Orbot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Orbot</a> on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a> full-time.<ul><li>Not just for <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a>, but because it acts as a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PerformanceProxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PerformanceProxy</a> on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/throttled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#throttled</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/German" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#German</a> mobile networks!</li></ul>Because in <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/EDGEland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EDGEland</a> they yeet users to 64kBit/s if not even lower to 16kBit/s past paid bandwith and instead of properly renegotiating the bandwith, they trottle connections by reducing the packet rate / dropping packets, making it as <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/laggy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laggy</a> as a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GSO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GSO</a>-based <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SATCOM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SATCOM</a> connection! <ul><li>On top of that, almost all <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MNO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MNO</a>|s & <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MVNO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MVNO</a>|s illegally use RFC1918 Address space, *espechally <code>10.0.0.0/8</code> for <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CGNAT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CGNAT</a>, thus bricking <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/VPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VPN</a>|s and sadly <a href="https://social.bund.de/@BNetzA" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BNetzA</a> doesn't really give a damn!</li></ul>

Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://mastodon.nl/@Germo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Germo</a> The problem I have is that <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/eSIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eSIM</a> restricts my <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FreedomOfChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreedomOfChoice</a> re: <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Devices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Devices</a>.<ul><li>Yes, I do use multiple devices and I want to be able to pick them freely.</li></ul>Same with <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/eSIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eSIM</a>: I can put that on a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SIM</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Card" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Card</a> *but I can't swap the soldered-down <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Chip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chip</a>!<ul><li><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Fairphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fairphone</a> could've offered / included an <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/eSIMcard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eSIMcard</a> (yes, these do exist!) and thus solved the entire issue: offering <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/eSIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eSIM</a> & <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DualSIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DualSIM</a> without the need of a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TripleSIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TripleSIM</a>-capable <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Baseband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Baseband</a>!</li></ul>And yes, I routinely use <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/eSIMcards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eSIMcards</a> because I get the <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freedom</a> and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/flexibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flexibility</a> of choice, because it's noone's business which <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/device" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#device</a> I use Which <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/plans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plans</a> on!<ul><li>And whilst courts in <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Germany</a> ruled it's illegal to charge for <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DeciceSwaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeciceSwaps</a> re: <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/eSIMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eSIMs</a>, that is only enforceable against <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MNO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MNO</a>|s & <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MVNO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MVNO</a>|s from <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Germany</a>!

Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@forceofhabit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@forceofhabit</a> yeah, blocking <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/CGNAT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CGNAT</a> address ranges is a good thing.<ul><li>Tho most <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MNO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MNO</a>|s & <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MVNO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MVNO</a>|s violate <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NetNeutrality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetNeutrality</a> and <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/IETF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IETF</a> standards and use <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RFC1918" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RFC1918</a> (i.e. 10.0.0.0/8) for CGNAT.</li></ul>Also thanks for reminding me to never set foot into Belgium again, cuz that sounds like a facist policestate!
