It's kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it's complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.

Slop or not, it does happen so often now that it does not feel like it's worth it going online, but it's worth sharing, I guess, gah.

They’re not selfhosted, and are commercial. While they’re okay now they can rug pull at any moment, it’s nice to have alternatives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Made this tutorial just now, maybe it helps someone. It's a pretty nice way to not use NextDNS.

How is that ghetto lol. Now, I’d understand if you were like me with a crusty ass laptop in the corner of my room 2500km away from me, running some Linux and 4 external hard drives, but Xeon and ghetto?

A friend of mine has something like 64% blocked. That’s what blocking telemetry does to ya! Every piece of tech, especially Samsung phones, Google TVs and various game clients phones home with such persistence that you’d think they’re DDoSing themselves.

At least personally to me it goes to show that it’s not out of the question

Personally I don't trust Proton. I know I'm paranoid, but can't be too sure about anything these days. To my knowledge MV and IVPN are the only ones with a nice privacy reputation. Shame they are cutting port forwarding

No public audits - I don't trust. Italy is also not exactly a privacy (and personal rights) haven.

 

Since IVPN and Mullvad are both phasing out port forwarding, are there any alternatives? I am not looking for something like NordVPN which is a privacy nightmare. AirVPN is also not private enough considering I’ve seen reports online of ISPs sending out DMCA letters of gold to its users.
