Migrated the from IPtables to NFTables fully today. Unfortunately, via the wireguard-pia container still uses IPtables, so had to add in a few kernel modules to let it work.

Sad panda.

my #PIA #vpn subscription renews soon. I haven't really had any issues using them. maybe some connectivity problems here or there on mobile. speeds are pretty decent. any reason I should change to another servicer? and if so who?

Glad I stopped using PIA.

De Linux experience gaat nog even door. Vanmiddag ClamAV antivirus en PIA VPN geïnstalleerd...middels command prompts! So proud. 👨🏼‍💻

LibreOffice is een verademing ten opzichte van MS Office. Na ook OneDrive te hebben vervangen voor een personal cloud (ook wel een bekend als een externe harddrive) en Gmail voor Mailbox.org, blijven tips voor andere Google en Microsoft swaps welkom! ✔️

Een zwarte externe WD Elements harde schijf ligt op een laptop die is bedekt met verschillende stickers. De stickers bevatten activistische en politieke boodschappen, waaronder "Free Palestine", "Boycott Israeli Apartheid", "Animal Rights", en "Hunt Saboteurs / Animal Rights". Er zijn ook illustraties van alternatief ogende ontwerpen, waaronder een cassettebandje met een regenboog (Pride-thema), en grimmigere illustraties zoals een Nosferatu-achtig figuur, een zwarte kat, een Versace logo, maar dan met een kattenkopje en andere symbolische afbeeldingen. De scène is vastgelegd op een houten tafel.

Ensure that if you have an account with #PIA private internet access, know that ALL accounts are set to auto-renew by default. You MUST opt-out manually.

This company is a far cry from what it was when I initially signed up years ago. It has only gotten worse, and this is the nail in the coffin for me doing business with them.

Ensimmäistä kertaa kaukojunassa varmaan noin viiteen vuoteen. VR:n wifi blokkaa aika tehokkaasti VPN-yhteydet. En ole nyt liikkeellä työasioissa, mutta vähän hankalaa olisi tehdä töitä täältä. Linux-käyttäjänä en suht nopeasti löytänyt tapaa kiertää asiaa NetworkManagerilla. Private Internet Accessin oma sovellus sallii liikenteen ohjaamisen kohdeportin 80 kautta, jolloin se pääsee blokista läpi.

This company is one of the main supporters of the Arch Linux User Repositories, and claims to be privacy centric, claiming to have supported many Free and Open Source Software projects (thanks!) as well as the EFF.

They appear to have overlooked the potential privacy problems of cross-site resources, which the EFF's own Privacy Badger picks up! I'm not sure how compatible this is with their no-logs policy.

I've had good luck with #PrivateInternetAccess

I just woke up to #PIA routing all my traffic through China instead of the US, with all my Quick Connect settings erased. #PrivateInternetAccess

EDIT: I pay for their service because it is Linux friendly, so this was very interesting to see.

So happy with my VPN, I have always liked to always be on a VPN but previously, I had found the software just didn't do a very good job of that. After recent events I renewed the idea of just putting every system I own constantly on a fully secure VPN. I'm using Private Internet Access (PIA) and it has been super, super reliable. Connections reconnect fast when I go from cellular to WiFi and such, not like the old days at all!

Oh and best of all, the Split Tunnel is working beautifully on my Mac running Sonoma, absolutely beautifully. The one thing I need to have off the VPN (ZeroTier) has no problem at all.

Can anyone vouch for the #VPN #PrivateInternetAccess for #torrenting?

Interesting bug.

Edit: Bypassed with custom VPN I made myself using WireGuard.

PIA has been compromised for years btw. I knew that from no other than Dan K. As well as a guy named Ash in the Feds. Saw it on his subpoenas (IPVanish was subpeonaed).

Pretty much any commercial VPN is a lie. They are required to do logging to abide by federal and municipal laws in order to operate.

Anyone else seeing an issue with #PIA #PrivateInternetAccess sending enormous numbers of outbound calls to malicious addresses when it's running? I reinstalled from the latest image and it's still doing it. They're getting flagged by #Malwarebytes, but they aren't false positives; I'm checking these against known report portals directly and they're all flagged as dangerous ... Immediately stops when the VPN client is disconnected. (Doesn't seem to happen when I've got the tunnel active though).

#PrivateInternetAccess is #trash. Slow, laggy. LOGS YOU AND REPORTS YOU TO THE FEDS!
