This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
VPNs are wild to me. "Hey! Pay some company to promise not to watch you so you can pretend to be private and not have some company watching you."
So Microsoft Recall but by a third party?
What about Firefox? Looks like it exists for more than just chrome. I know because I literally used it this week for the first time ever due to being on vacation in a state that wants my photo to view porn... I couldn't believe this shit actually exists now.
People won't plug their phone into a USB socket in an airport lounge, but they will install software that sends 100% of their web traffic to a third party and has unfettered device permissions.
Ubiquiti router with all traffic (excluding streaming sites and video games) encrypted via Mulvad. Checkmate atheists.
Also PS, if you’re not paying for the product you’re the product. Checks notes: I’m not paying for Lemmy?

Whats more is that, anyone who creates a server can scrape all the data on fediverse. It's every AI company's wet dream.
And any comment you delete will still be visible to server admin.
Lemmy currently does have these privacy issues
Meh you’re not wrong, but I just wanna browse content and not see ads. Capitalism is gonna capitalism, but I just want it to leave me alone. There’s a good chance I’m gonna regret this later lol.
I'm looking to expand beyond my edge router X. What router do you use?
I’m using a cloud gateway max with a single U7 Wall Pro AP. 10/10 performance for my medium small sized apartment.
Nice! I was looking at the max version of the cloud gateway, I think it will do everything I need. Thanks for sharing, glad you're happy with it
use either Mullvad (yes, I know, the GUI sucks) or set up your own VPN.
the mullvad cli is very quick and easy. it's a lot faster than what it was. OR set up your own wireguard VPN on your server, again very easy to set up.
What about proton?
Those two are for pretty different use cases, no? First is for general internet access - for semi-anonymity or to skip Geo blocks. Second is when you want to access specific services you host yourself.
Not unexpected
This is the reason I've always been skeptical of all those Video Download Non Plus Ultra Pro 9000 extensions, also in Firefox. I'm like yea right. Next thing I know I'll be getting copyright infringement and piracy notices plus cease-and-desist letters.
YIKES.
Yup. You gotta read the fine print folks. You can all got to stack social and pick up 5 years of adguard vpn with no log policy. Its not the best out there, but its not horrible either. And at around 26 quid for 5 years, it aint bad.
