Man, if you’re hosting, you HAVE to know what you’re doing. In my life I recommend hosting anything…ANYTHING…for those who are truly willing to accept risks. I personally feel like a common person would fuck up a Plex server if you let 'em.
Anyone know a good host to run your own? Would that IP only be me though? Thats the thing with VPN services - multiple people using the same IP is plausible deniability. Wait, who the fuck am I kidding, Im on win10 and IME is underneath it all…
host yourself
Most people fail at it. Either they have terrible implementations or terrible applications for it that put them at heightened risk for malware and spyware attacks. Nobody that just wants to use it for browsing securely will bother with it and it’s sad because of how easily implemented it actually is.
Maybe you meant for: https://privacyguides.org/providers/vpn/
Thanks for the reply, looks like there is something better, this shit is always changing.
They are, just had a look and it is a link, but it is clearly labeled as sidebar rules.
It’s rule #13. Your problem is probably specific to your Reddit client. Check your Help system to see how to view the sidebar. If you check on desktop or other mobile clients, they’ll show up.
There are three sources where groups of providers are reviewed. Two of them are from registered non-profits with solid reputations. Versus an individual saying, “My VPN is the best!”
The former reccs are more objective. The latter, most of whom are genuine but are hard to differentiate from reccs planted by VPN providers, are less so.
But as I note elsewhere in this post, check out all three, then make the decision that best suits your individual circumstances!
The Freedom of the Press Foundation is an outstanding group. Also a great reference!
And you just replaced that isp provider with a vpn company.
Not a direct comment on you, but most of the people buying a vpn thinks either that the IPs they visit can’t be read by their vpn provider or they won’t sell it to advertisers.
The vpn industry always advertises in a way that using a vpn circumvents any privacy issue they face, which is just not true.
In above example, pia was always advertised as this amazing vpn that doesn’t sell to advertisers, but after this sale, all of the data pia had on their users would be sold to advertisers. Not sure, if my isp having that data about me is better than this shady vpn company
even if you use dns over https?
CloudFlare Warp (well Warp+) is a VPN. https://developers.cloudflare.com/warp-client/
I dont remember shaking my mouse around to generate a key for https , then again im pretty ignorant bout theses privacy thingy ,what i mean is having human ramdommness as a factor ,like a program that would encrypt your stuff with befores even using https , which make you vulnerable at the end of the tunnel . Saying this i realise that like veracypt encryption is a concept that should get his vpn , like id actually trust a veracrypt vpn . Idk if https is unbreakable but i know it doesnt hide your queries n builds a tunnel between u n the orwellian corporation ,like using https everywere plus dns script doesnt protect u from the website u visit .But how internet work my thing just couldnt exist as the website simply wouldnt recognize what u want at all your packets would be encrypted they wouldnt know what to do of your queries ,Enlight me sensei
Imposter … The website
Honestly I’d go to privacytools.io I trust that site because the basis of their claims seem sound for the things I don’t know about, and I agree on the things I do know about
Any VPN service is not recommended.
VPN is not meant to be a proxy. It’s just Virtual(ly connect to the)Private Network. Its typical usage is connecting office private network from your home for the remote working.
You think VPN service provider didn’t log your communication? You can’t tell, because you can’t examine their implementation. So assume they log.
If I were to use VPN for the proxy(which I don’t. It’s pointless), I will rent a VPS and set it up as a VPN server. That way, it’s a lot harder to log. The VPS service provider can still log in/out communication without you noticing, but if it’s encrypted, all they can log is which IP you connect to/from. They can’t inspect the content.
To log more, VPS service provider have to modify your VPS instance which is hard to hide from you, or modify VM which is technically difficult and unless you are Edward Snowden, or Julian Assange, it’s not worth it. If I were one of them, I will never relies on VPN anyway.
People may argue VPN is still good for the geo-blocking/censorchip. I don’t think so. If it’s the commercial movie or song provider geo-block you, these content doesn’t deserve my precious time. Why do I have to buy a content they don’t want to sell to me?
If your government censor you, you should evacuate from you country or else start revolution to throw away the oppressive regime. It’s not the Internet anymore. Your life is in danger under the government who doesn’t honor the basic human rights of the citizen.
Can you DM me what they said please? lol

They’re still pretty much useless considering Windows Firewall is now one of the best ones out there. So anything on top of that is redundant. VPNs I’m assuming will go the same way, they’ll eventually be absorbed into OSs and secondary software will be made obsolete.
Opera is not a safe browser to use though.
