You still have to connect to the website’s IP address which your ISP can match to a website.
Correct. Israel brought us the Pegasus Spyware. Yes, it was the spyware that was purchased by Saudi Arabia in the targeting of Jamal Kashoggi.
dVPNs are expensive scams. If you need truly strong privacy and anonymity, use Tor. End of story.
If you run a node don’t you run a risk of the FBI knocking on your door if people visit certain sites and download illegal content?
Excuse my ignorance I haven’t checked it out yet but those would be my conserns.
We appreciate you wanting to contribute to /r/privacy and taking the time to post but we had to remove it due to:
Your submission is about specific VPNs, crypto-currencies or blockchain-based technologies. All three of these categories require knowledge that many general audiences have, so we suggest you repost in one of the Subs that focus on these topics. Thanks!

Ive been peeping Orchid for a while. Is there a decentralized VPN you favor more and why?
So TOR, only it’s a scam you bought into. Cool.
people is now using https://privacyguides.org/, the owner of privacytools.io went bad, can’t trust his site or sub anymore
“If your government censor you, you should evacuate from you country or else start revolution to throw away the oppressive regime.”
I’m glad its nothing too complicated, i struggle setting the time on my microwave.
The VPS service provider can still log in/out communication without you noticing, but if it’s encrypted
how does one achieve an encrypted connection?
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.
…What? If the service is running, it’s not encrypted on the machine. You have to decrypt something in order to run it. They have physical access to the machine, so they can see whatever you’re doing so long as the service is live. And even if this word salad made sense, then why wouldn’t VPN services just do that too?
Not only does this not make sense on its face, but VPS hosts log way more data than a VPN host, because they’re handling way more and have way more at risk. And it’s exactly as easy for the authorities to go to your VPS as it is for them to go to your VPN.
Its typical usage is connecting office private network from your home for the remote working.
Much like a proxy, a VPN doesn’t have a single use and can be used as a gateway out or a gateway in.
If I were to use VPN for the proxy(which I don’t. It’s pointless)
Just factually false. Obscuring your traffic from your ISP and obscuring your identity from your end point are both extremely important for maintaining privacy.
Basically, why would I trust a postbox company with my data over an isp which is actually under constant scrutiny by my government?
Read the stickied thread. Also you’ve recommended a VPN who had their servers seized by Ukrainian state security and they turned out to not be encrypted.
There are also things like comparison tables. For example, the one r/vpn that mods built. This one. Looks decent enough, not an aff link in sight.
As someone who’s constantly fixing computers with “Windows Firewall”, I can assure you they still get infected.
VPN’s can help, but most of the ads you see oversell them and most people don’t need them. IVPN is the only one that is bluntly upfront about what a VPN does and worth a read on their site.
Is there a safe browser to use? Aside from TOR.
Lol, western bro, a company being Chinese or American makes no difference to me.
So what, are American companies not evil or exploitive?
I mean you see CEOs of tech companies visiting POTUS in the White House, but “SINO BAD”. Lmao.
Don’t see how’s that relevant for privacy. That’s more of a piracy concern.

Despite its no IP logs claims, the company acknowledged that while it’s illegal for the company to abide by requests from non-Swiss law enforcement authorities, it will be required to do so if Swiss agencies agree to assist foreign services such as Europol in their investigations.
The Israeli GOVERNMENT is scum*
