surely one of you #infosec peers has a guide or article on why #VPN services aren't the privacy silver bullet they often advertise themselves to be. something that mentions you're paying co-conspirators to #mitm your own traffic in addition to lowering the reputation to that of your new address space?

For those interested I have completed my publication of a detailed #tutorial on
"#Security #Hardening: a journey with eyes open"
The tutorial is biased towards #Linux. But, it should be widely OS agnostic & relevant (aside from command line & scripting guidance). It consists of some ~10 webpages. Most pages are mine & hosted on my site. All eirenicon and external references are linked from this page:

Still no #VPN fan but @airvpn / #AirVPN at least has a purpose given they have an #OnionService at: http://airvpn3epnw2fnsbx5x2ppzjs6vxtdarldas7wjyqvhscj7x43fxylqd.onion

Today’s podcast ads have had localizations for both NYC and Boston (in the same episode) as well as a Valentine’s sale.
I guess my #VPN is translating me in time as well as space.

@Andromxda @pixelcode How can you claim something you can't evidence?
- Pretty shure if it's not @signalapp themselves, then their centralized architecture and unwillingness to even have an #OnionService on @torproject makes it trivial to pull a #Room641A on them.
It makes you look like one of those folks shilling #VPN|s that ain't logless after all...
- I don't believe in #marketing #lies and #Signal can't (and won't) be able to evidence that they don't log shit.
At least they should be honest about things and not claim bs, cuz demanding a #PhoneNumber is just #KYC with extra steps like demanding any #SSN or other #PII. Makes them look like chinese MMORPGs that demand ID card numbers for account signups, thus #paywalling the ability to use their service anonymously...

They literally don't store anything about you, other than the phone number you used to sign up, and the timestamp of the last login. They can't fulfill any kind of subpoena, because they simply don't have the data. This was proven in court:

I don't know what your mission is, any why you're constantly spreading misinformation about a secure communications platform, trying to discourage people from using it, without naming alternatives.
It's pretty suspicious at the very least.
@Vivaldi just updated their desktop #browser to include the free version of @protonprivacy #VPN built in!
I just tested it and it works perfectly.
Amazing work - great value add - thank you Vivaldi team!!
#VPN は、出先で公共 Wi-Fi とかに繋げた時に使うと同じネットワークに繋がってる人から通信傍受されたりしない、というくらいの浅い理解でいる
