Mr. WorldWide

swap proxies I have this problem from time to time with mullvad.

Things that are in every threat model include, but are not limited to.

Surveillance from your internet provider and advertising companies its partnered with.

Surveillance from advertising companies partnered with websites you go to and online services you use.

People online who might try to doxx you if you say something they don’t like or win too much in a game

The owner of a malicious website getting your IP address from visiting it by accident.

If your internet provider or anyone else gives you the third degree about using a VPN or any other privacy-friendly alternatives to anything, just say all but the first one

oh and be mindful of internet providers using AI to find patterns in the packets you’re sending and receiving

You can encrypt a radio.

Yes, but that requires you and the one(s) you’re communicating with to mod some radios and then to keep those radios secret, which won’t be easy once you start using them, especially in a situation like that where the government would probably be scanning those frequencies for exactly that

scratch telegram off that list, put Session messenger there instead.

Telegram isn’t private, one guy has the master key to the whole thing

wouldn’t a cheap walkie-talkie be more practical in that situation?

That’s not secure or encrypted

yes, a lot of people were using those kinds of apps during the free hong kong protests, they go from device-to-device with no internet in between.

No idea what the app is called, but apps like those exist

there’s no benefit to any common man.

There’s only benefit to the advertising companies and governments around the world.

It’s a little something called “total information awareness” they want to know who everyone is and what they’re doing at every second of every day

Yeah, tell him all the ways that would be dangerous.

You won’t stop any crime or even any hurt feelings by doing that. You’re only going to punish people who are following the law.

Criminals can fake their details

time to look up some alternatives.

the new surveillance power we currently have was abused by Bush Jr, Obama (who made it more invasive), Trump, Biden, and now Trump again.

Follow the constitution you fuckers! No more spying without a warrant!

good point. but there’s still malware C&C servers that can only be blocked by blocking the IP range

Things like PiHole, nextDNS and the desktop versions of adguard only block HTTP, FTP and POP and SMTP connections. It doesn’t block connections to advertising companies through other protocols.
