Great concept but not stable enough for serious use.

Yes, people should not be looking for ways to watch youtube secretly, but support alternative platforms that don’t censor and intimidate people?

Yeah, the title of this post is misinformation. If you read the article it says: “The government, however, has said the bill does not ban end-to-end encryption.” Even in extreme cases it says scanning will be required where “technically feasible.”

People need to relax and pay attention.

They are pretty solid and I trust them. Their spell checker is a bit poor, but Its pretty good for privacy.

You just seem very passionate about the subject. Almost nobody would take that much time to argue in the favor of a small, relatively unknown VPN. But also you suggest that I’m incorrect when I say VPN’s cannot be trusted ultimately. Only someone who was interested in maintaining the “VPN is private” illusion would say that.

Anyway, I don’t care if you do work for a VPN or maybe even own your own. But it’s gonna be hard to push it in privacy forums cuz there are a lot of people who know better. Well, there are also a lot of people who don’t now that I think about it… ;)

Do you work for Cryptostorm?

I have nothing invested in proving it one way or another. It is something I saw a few years ago, and thought I’d mention it now to warn others. If you think it went from honeypot to non-honeypot, then by all means use it. At the end of the day, you cannot fully trust any traditional VPN because they can do what ever they want and we’d be none the wiser, despite all the big claims. VPN’s are for watching geoblocked movies and stuff like that. That’s about it. If you want privacy, you’ll have to look into other things.

I think Tor is kind of stuck as it is. To really fix it’s issues, a new system needs to be built from scratch. Until then we’ll be working with patches and hacks.

It was a big scandal some years ago and I don’t have the time to look it up for you. You can take it as you like.

It was a big controversy years ago. You can take or leave the info. I don’t have the time to look it up.

Does i2p support udp?

Cryptostorm is a honeypot that was discovered years ago. I’m surprised anyone even talks about it still

LibreWolf is about as secure as a browser can get out of the box. Check out the stats here.

IVPN and Mullvad are probably the best VPNs if you simply want to transfer full view of all your internet activity from your ISP to one of these 2 companies. If you want to keep your internet movements private from everyone, use Tor browser. Its slower and doesn’t do udp, but it is much closer to real privacy than the commercial VPNs. Of course, if you are a high priority target of a large nation state, then Tor might not be enough for you, but for most people it works well for those things you want private. If you just want to watch movies, torrent and stuff like that, regular VPNs are the way to go.

Signal has much work to do to be a real “privacy” app. Get rid of phone numbers, get rid of metadata, stop contact mining. They say they don’t mine contacts but it is easy for them to do if they wanted to, so I assume they do.

Tor is great but has speed issues and no udp, so no voip. A lot of room for improvement there also. We should welcome all that try to improve on what we have.

I’m gonna assume you’re being funny

I see what you’re saying, but contrary to Twitter, Brave works very well and has very good security and privacy features. In fact it significantly improves upon Chromium which it is built on top of. It also offers massive improvements over Chrome in the privacy department. So whether he agrees with you that guys can become girls or vice versa, or whether he believes the same narrative that you do regarding corona is simply irrelevant. If you have found a new security or privacy flaw, I would love to hear about it. But pushing your irrelevant opinions on others who are not interested, is unpleasant for us, and a waste of time for you.

Stop with the ad hominem attacks. We are interested in the tech specs and not your personal opinions of what is “right” and “wrong.” Stick to the point, which is privacy and the tech that goes with it.
