@CppGuy yeah, @torproject really got better since I started using @guardianproject / #Orbot 15 years ago because in #EDGEland, #Tor is a #PerformanceProxy!

@snep espechally on mobile!

• In my 15+ years of experience, @torproject / #Tor works as a #PerformanceProxy on #throttled #mobile networks in #EDGEland since #MNO|s and #MVNO|s don't properly negotiate a "link width" but #throttle by #dropping packets, adding #TCP #SlowStart as #latency.

OFC it won't make shit go faster, but more reliable.

• #latency is shit on all mobile networks that ain't straight-up #IP-based like #WiFi, Tor doesn't add that much to it...

In fact, Tor makes #throttled connections bearable for me for >15 years, as even back in 2008 one couldn't just get "unlimited data", espechally not as an individual (school child) without income or wealth!

@clubchonky I disagree.

• OFC @torproject / #Tor never was designed for low-latency, high-bandwith useage, but that's not the point.

IMHO using @guardianproject / #Orbot as a #PerformanceProxy even makes throttled #WWAN networks bearable!

• In terms of scale, Tor is pretty good and if all peers are within Tor, shit works just fine...

Issues aside it's now 15 years since I started using #Tor / @torproject & @guardianproject / #Orbot on #Android full-time.

• Not just for #privacy, but because it acts as a #PerformanceProxy on #throttled #German mobile networks!

Because in #EDGEland 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 #laggy as a #GSO-based #SATCOM connection!

• On top of that, almost all #MNO|s & #MVNO|s illegally use RFC1918 Address space, *espechally 10.0.0.0/8 for #CGNAT, thus bricking #VPN|s and sadly @BNetzA doesn't really give a damn!

@ajn142 @tinker @Em0nM4stodon +9001%

• Never stopped using @torproject / #Tor because @guardianproject #Orbot is a #PerformanceProxy on #EDGEland throttled networks!

@cr0n0s granted I'm quite happy with @monocles as #ItJustWorks with @guardianproject / #Orbot to connect any #OnionService / @torproject / #Tor-hosted #Server and beyond...

• Espechally since Tor works as a #PerformanceProxy on #EDGEland networks...

@ada I can recommend @Tusky / #Tusky because it's like the original #TweetDeck #App back in it's days but better and works perfectly fine over @torproject / #Tor using @guardianproject / #Orbot for #Torification...

• And yes, you want to use Tor as #PerformanceProxy espechally in #EDGEland...
