What’s that anti-censorship feature? Is it like a flag you can get on your account or something?

Agreed, it’s all very commercial. It’s nice that there’s a way to run it self hosted but in that case I prefer something like LightNVR.

We started on this project a long time ago to fix these issues by making it so that no cloud provider can see your home security videos.

Just like standard ONVIF RTSP cams with a local NVR? It’s not like this is a new thing.

Furries never hurt anyone. We don’t bite hard 🤭🦊

Turkey is also still militarily occupying part of Cyprus. And leaving whole towns ghost lands. It’s like the Berlin wall.

Also, OKC is no longer being maintained as far as I know.

I kinda hope this one can replace OKC as a PGP integrator into other apps because I use it a lot. Especially for my password manager

But it does have to support external yubikeys and it looks like this doesn’t yet

Thanks! I already love it for the taskbar icon alone lol

What’s the little cat thing?

In fact when I was in college taking classes on IPv6 we were told it would be everywhere next year.

This was 1994. Lol

Personally I don’t like it because it’s too overengineered for me. They should have added 2 bytes to IPv4 and called it a day. That means we would have had the address space of 65536 internets. Really plenty. IPv6 has too much space.

Honestly, I don’t really care about that. Yes it uses quantum-sensitive protocols like AES but honestly, who with a quantum computer is either going to:

• Record all my traffic to decode it 10 years later, knowing they will also have to break SSL on top of that!
• Already has a quantum computer or a huge datacenter for paralellisation right now meaning they are the NSA and if they wanna spy on me they are going to anyway. And really if someone has such a datacenter they will use it for AI which is more profitable.

For my threat model the threat of my VPN crypto being broken just isn’t important right now especially in my VPN usecase which is already low-importance stuff. There’s nothing valuable or personal in that traffic. The only reason I use the VPN is to do torrents really. If they want to grab a few torrenters and make an example out of them it’s much easier to grab a few that are not using any VPN. There’s still loads of people torrenting directly on their bare home IP.

It’s like the saying of the two guys running from the bear. One says to the other: “We’re not gonna outrun him!”. The other says: “Doesn’t matter, I only have to outrun you”. Not being the easiest catchable is enough protection.

Yeah I can imagine 80/443 being blocked because sometimes it was being used for awful stuff. I don’t really care about that so much, but the higher ports should be available (especially UDP).

No, but I have a home lab and that is behind the VPN. With a download server and some other stuff like IRC (IRC can expose your home IP to other users)

The router blocks any requests going around the VPN so that the usual de-anonimisation tricks don’t work.

Just the same as other VPNs, just different protocol.

It’s a regular point to point VPN just like wireguard and ipsec. Based on openssl. So you have a client and it connects to a single server. You can also connect a network to another network but usually you use a dedicated router for it. Only if you connect individual clients would you use an app.

There’s other VPNs these days which are substantially different, called Mesh or Overlay VPN. These are ones like tailscale and zerotier. They are different in usage because each client can talk together independently. This means even on a shared network each client will have the VPN app. It’s used more for personal networks, not really private anonymous access. For those you explicitly don’t want to talk to other clients so the usecase makes for different tech. For this reason anonymous VPN providers never use mesh tech.

I use both myself. OpenVPN for torrents etc. And tailscale for connecting to my home stuff from my phone and laptop.

But OpenVPN is a very classical VPN type.

It’s one of the many VPN protocols. Wireguard is the current favourite.

So in other words, if you don’t specifically need openvpn it won’t matter to you. Wireguard is good too.

The thing is that openvpn has been around a lot longer so it has more support in things like routers. For me that matters because I have a separate vlan that’s connected via a router to my main network.

They did have it but they dropped it. Or at least they were dropping it server by server, it wasn’t completely gone. Not sure what the current status is. But proton had an offer so I decided it was a good time to go

I moved away from it for two reasons:

• They dropped port forwarding which really helps with torrents
• They dropped OpenVPN, I need that because I have a router that has it built in with hardware acceleration, it doesn’t do any wireguard

I moved to proton which still does all these things.

Of course these points might not matter to you but I just wanted to point it out

That’s not a lot even. I’ve seen much worse. Also with password disabled. Some idiot bots still try to send it whole password lists.

Just move your SSH to another port, that is enough to get rid of most of the nuisance scans. Or allow SSH only on IPv6. That usually covers it (The IPv6 address space is too big to scan, unless you have a TLD directly pointing to your IPv6)

What I personally do is run an overlay VPN like tailscale and allow SSH in only via that.

That repo seems to have just been archived though. That would worry me if I were starting to use it now.

But I’m using it on windows, on my game machine.
