I just wrote this post about what to think about regarding your digital privacy, after a conversation with someone who would be visiting America soon. It was weird, we couldn't talk (via app) about what we wanted to say. Like communist Germany in the 80s. The post is just 2 lists, aimed at non technical ppl who dont really know about the risks.

NordVPN still a good choice?

Thank you very, very much to @timac! His `vpnutil` command line utility for #macOS really helped me! See…

For years, I used a script to call `scutil` to control my #VPN connection. Recently, it stopped working. It shows signs of using IKEv2 services mentioned in his blog…

Maybe my employer changed our services over to IKEv2 recently.

I replaced calls to `scutil --nc` in my script with `vpnutil` and all is now good again!

surely one of you #infosec peers has a guide or article on why #VPN services aren't the privacy silver bullet they often advertise themselves to be. something that mentions you're paying co-conspirators to #mitm your own traffic in addition to lowering the reputation to that of your new address space?

In case you missed it: #ProtonVPN integrates with #Vivaldi browser for enhanced #privacy and #security.

Hide your IP address, access global content, and block malicious scripts with #opensource encryption standards.

For those interested I have completed my publication of a detailed #tutorial on

"#Security #Hardening: a journey with eyes open"

The tutorial is biased towards #Linux. But, it should be widely OS agnostic & relevant (aside from command line & scripting guidance). It consists of some ~10 webpages. Most pages are mine & hosted on my site. All eirenicon and external references are linked from this page:

Gerade gelesen. Schade aber ich kann es verstehen. Leider unterstützt meine #fritzbox kein #Wireguard ..

Still no #VPN fan but @airvpn / #AirVPN at least has a purpose given they have an #OnionService at: http://airvpn3epnw2fnsbx5x2ppzjs6vxtdarldas7wjyqvhscj7x43fxylqd.onion

• Circumvent #DontBlockTor-blockades and provide an alternative @torproject #ExitNode...

Wer seine Nextcloud via VPN für die Außenwelt erreichbar machen möchte, kann dieses mit #Gluetun #VPN machen.

Wieso das Ganze?

Ich nutze die Nextcloud App #ncdownloader und darüber lade ich Musik von YouTube in meine #Nextcloud, um sie wiederum dann darüber hören zu können. Also eine Privat Kopie, was ja grundsätzlich erlaubt ist.

Hier ist eine Anleitung, wie ich das Konstrukt gebaut habe.

Today’s podcast ads have had localizations for both NYC and Boston (in the same episode) as well as a Valentine’s sale.

I guess my #VPN is translating me in time as well as space.
