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.

I know proxysto.re and like it a lot, but what is anonstore? I looked it up but couldn’t find anything.

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… ;)

I am in Southern Europe now and consistently see temperatures reported even by huge companies like accuweather several degrees hotter than it actually is. This may be bigger than a local Swiss thing. I have 2 thermometers with me for checking.

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.
