A company that sold itself to a Chinese consortium for $600M announces a free VPN service. That's some high quality humor.
At least it's free humor.

#82I don't like the term Web3 and I think a lot of people using the it are basically pushing snake oil.
However, I really like the idea of eventually having client-side decrypted data, and censorship-resistant "torrent-like" distributed content. Whether cryptocurrencies must play a role in this or not remains to be seen.

Just block scripts and randomize the useragent, here's your new fingerprint every minute.
and be the one very strong signal from $VPN_IPRANGE that has a random wacky user agent, along with disabled scripting (and a quite comprehensive CSS fingerprint to boot).
My fingerprint is different every minute. That "very strong signal" is discarded by every surveillance engine as useless noise.

#86God I miss Opera 12, Presto and Dragonfly. :(
I remember having 300 open tabs on a 4GB Core2Duo computer... How time flies.

SurfEasy, which was an Opera VPN company, collected logs and sold it.

That isn't at all the same problem: Netflix is trying to block being accessed by a VPN, while China/Russia/etc. want to block users from talking to a VPN.
How do you block "talking" to a VPN?
When packets traverse the edge router, IX, cable (landing) station, .. if they're recognised as VPN traffic, then the server's IP (or IP / port) is added to a blacklist, every subsequent packet is dropped.

#89Isn't it misleading, to discuss it as a "vpn service"? If you install a binary, that not only controls vpn channel on both sides, but is also a browser, do I understand it right, that it can completely highjack the trust mechanisms, and happily MITM anything you visit?
Is there any way to find out if it's really establishing, well, vpn connection (e.g. openVPN or Wireguard), without DPI hardware and corresponding expertise?

Kill it with fire. Lots of fire. There's nothing good to be coming out of this.
Because the current web is such perfection?
Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology has no use whatsoever. It's all made up with fictionary scenarios where any already existing and well-established technology would do just as good or even better.
Don't put that snake oil in my browser, please. Thanks.
