NordVPN is the Starbucks of privacy: it is everywhere, too expensive for what you get, and bad for you.

If you are considering it after a YouTube creator told you about it, consider a better alternative like @mullvadnet , @ivpn , Proton VPN, or Windscribe. Explore your options before you hand over your credit card.

[Update: seems to be up & working again]

@ivpn https://www.ivpn.net/ is currently down, OpenVPN connections still work for me, but WireGuard keys can't be generated.

First outage of #IVPN that I'm experiencing

@ivpn would you consider using this wireguard implementation by @mullvadnet

They're Both Strong Contenders!

If you are looking for mainly privacy-focused #VPN providers right now, you won't find too many.

Try #IVPN @ivpn or #Mullvad @mullvadnet

Beware of "FREE!" VPNs, since they're surveillance traps.

Also, beware of the two dozen big conglomerates that are behind 100s of "different" brands. They may serve you better than others with bypassing geo-blocking, since they have 1000s of servers to play the constant, world-wide blocking game.

However, I would not trust them with preserving my privacy better than the two I mentioned above.

@heisec

Für eigene Verbindungen die offizielle #Wireguard app verwenden. Alternativ evtl kleinere Projekte wie #WGTunnel https://github.com/zaneschepke/wgtunnel oder #RethinkDNS (was noch viel mehr kann). OpenVPN auch okay.

Alles andere ist Schwachsinn, Firmen sollen aufhören irgendwelche komischen proprietären Anwendungen zu nutzen.

Für verbesserte Privatsphäre #MullvadVPN #AirVPN #ProtonVPN #IVPN und erstmal keine weiteren.

Für Anonymität #Tor.

#VPN.s schleusen jeglichen Verkehr durch fremde Server!

Unfortunately, the correct jargon is missing, and there is a little bit of ego talk at the beginning… Still, a very good video. Kudos 💡 👍

🛡️ Dávám tip na VPN, která se mi fakt líbí: #IVPN

Zkoušel jsem jich už dost, ale IVPN mě baví hlavně tím, jak je poctivá a nemá za sebou žádný velký korporát. Klient je open-source, takže si člověk může zkontrolovat, co dělá (Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, iOS – všude stejná filozofie).

Soukromí tu není jen marketing – žádné logy, žádné sledování, mají i pravidelné nezávislé audity. DNS dotazy chodí přímo v tunelu, takže tvoje dotazy nečte Google, Cloudflare ani NextDNS. Mají vlastní AntiTracker – umí blokovat reklamy a trackery rovnou na úrovni DNS, a když chceš, můžeš si vybrat, jak moc agresivní filtr použiješ.

Líbí se mi taky jednoduché rozhraní – žádné zbytečné pop-upy, žádné vnucování funkcí. Navíc můžeš platit bitcoinem, monerem, nebo i anonymně v hotovosti (!)
Navíc registrace je úplně anonymní – IVPN ti jen vygeneruje unikátní ID, který si uložíš a přes něj se kdykoliv přihlásíš. Nemusíš zadávat ani e-mail, fakt nic. Ideální, pokud nechceš nikde zanechávat stopu.

Mají i server v Praze a české služby fungují bez problémů. Není to nejlevnější VPN, ale člověk fakt platí za poctivou službu bez keců.

Za mě ideální volba pro každého, kdo to myslí s ochranou soukromí a blokováním reklam vážně. 👌

@marcus@hachyderm.io @Pol@mathstodon.xyz Wonderful. Now I just need to wait for that to make it into the repos and I will be able to install NixOS on another PC.

#NixOS #Nix #Linux #iVPN

I think the one thing I am not happy concerning NixOS is the lack of a GUI VPN (not Flatpak).

I, know how to use the terminal, but I can repeat how to use it until I am blue in the face, and pass out, but that knowledge and wisdom will wash over the other person who needs it. They'll hear me, but forget the moment I walk out of the room. If it is not graphical, they're not learning it.
