The RESTRICT act (S. 686 - The “TikTok ban”) is a hot mess and I cannot support it in any fashion. Trojan horse with a dramatic impact on privacy and freedom of speech. 100% not good. Go read it. #RESTRICTAct #privacy #FreeSpeech #surveillance #tiktok #vpn #crypto

Call your representatives to oppose the RESTRICT Act. While it's described as a ban on #TikTok, the bill actually gives the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security authority to execute blanket bans on software and hardware. And using a #VPN to circumvent the ban could bring a fine of $1 million or 20 years in prison.

S. 686, also known as the RESTRICT Act, is about WAY more than TikTok. It leaves WIDE authority for the U.S. government to monitor, control and force the handing over of private data.

Among many other issues, it mentions fines and prison time for things like using VPNs, which is insane.

There's a lot in it to unpack. Just please, stay informed, and call your congresspeople if you can.

RESIST this dangerous garbage.

The misguided push to ban #TikTok instead of establishing robust #Privacy protections has now resulted in a broadly written piece of legislation that threatens all foreign contributors to the internet including #VPN

“As written, the broad language in the #RESTRICT Act could criminalize the use of a VPN, significantly impacting access to security tools and other applications that vulnerable people rely on for privacy and security.”

While I get that having state actors (from ANY government) control and influence a social media platform, turning someone into an instant felon because they chose to use a VPN to access a social media site is ridiculously heavy handed.

Yet, that’s exactly what the Senate wants to do with #S686, the #RESTRICT act with a 20 year prison sentence, too, just for accessing #tiktok through a #VPN.

Due to privacy, I don't insert a SIM card in my throw away phone. My phone is more or less a brick without WiFi. To mitigate this I connect to free WiFi for non-sensitive communications with a VPN. Yes, I also understand IMEI catchers before someone asks.

Most WiFi spots will ask for an e-mail address. I've started using BloodFart@gmail.com as my log-in e-mail. It works. I've stated to chronicle this, and I'm taking a certain level of joy in doing so.

#security #streaming

“Esistono servizi di Dns alternativi: di Google, di Cloudflare. Li sostituisci una volta e invece di andare ai Dns dei provider vai a un’altro, che mai blocca le richieste”, spiega Flora. Il perché è faccenda complessa e si iscrive nelle grandi regole violate dai grandi fornitori di servizi che non sempre vogliono sottostare a leggi nazionali. Ma ora, il blocco a livello Ip cambia la partita. Perché si va a bloccare direttamente l’indirizzo del sito, senza passare dal Dns.

Really good summary what a VPN really does. I want to mention that u can hide your domain requests also by using a private DNS, but your ISP or Mobile Network Provider will still be able to see which IPs you're connecting to if you're not using a VPN or similar.

Some of you know that i own a couple of GL-AXT1800 for my home with a maximum vpn speed of 550 mbps (thanks network balancing) it can be more if done correctly on both of them (and your network support it), with a @mullvadnet subscription to be protected from my evil ISP.

So i've bough a GL-A1300 (with a maximum speed of 170Mbps) but with a lower consumption (and free wifi always slower than that anyway).

But it help me to use it on my powerbank, and the lower consumption that let me room to add a 5G router later.

But for now it will help me to remain behind my VPN everywhere (evil ISP are everywhere here you know), and increase my phone battery life by not using VPN on it anymore (nor trust the Phone OS to actually not bypass/leak data outside of the VPN).

Linked a screenshot of : "Do i really need a VPN" from @ivpn

IVPN and Mullvad are the only one i recommend since they do not bullshit with "military grade encryption".

#VPN #privacy #cellular #security

Do you really need a VPN? 

Despite what many VPN providers advertise VPN are useless (at best ineffective) at: 

1 Achieving anonymity.

2 Preventing Google or Facebook from collecting your private data.

3 Preventing unwanted profiling by social networks or search engines.

4 Providing better security when 'working from home'.

5 Protecting your passwords.

6 Hiding your mobile phone location (GPS).

7 Helping you avoid data breaches on services you use online.

8 Defending against "cyber threats" and identity theft.

Do not rely on a VPN to protect you in any of the above scenarios.

However, a trustworthy VPN can be very effective at:

1 Encrypting your data so your ISP or Mobile network provider cannot monitor or log your online activity. Without a VPN, HTTPS still exposes the domaine name or the IP your are visiting to the ISP.

2 Encrypting your DNS request so your ISP or mobile network provider cannot monitor or log the domains you visit.

3 Increasing your security on untrusted public networks by preventing MITM attacks.

4 Masking your IP address from websites and server you connect to.

5 Circumventing censorship or geographical blocks on websites and content.

- don't use #protonmail or ANY other email service - I mean, you better selfhost your own one (as well as I do).
