I use my paid vpn extension (Nord) to select a Country for twitch.tv which isn't served ads. However I would all my traffic go through that specific vpn as it causes trouble with other appe/pages. So being able to cnveniently switch my IP per domain is pretty nice sometimes.
Curious, what country doesn't get twitch ads?

God that ai image the article uses is such shit
The dingy color scheme gives it away immediately. AI thinks comics should look dingy. Are all LLMs trained on comics printed on old newspaper or something?

I'm looking to expand beyond my edge router X. What router do you use?
I’m using a cloud gateway max with a single U7 Wall Pro AP. 10/10 performance for my medium small sized apartment.

How do we know the "no log" VPNs don't log our activity?
Also any recommendations? I can't find one that says they don't log and refuse to cooperate with 14eyes.
ProtonVPN is no log and so is Mullvad I think. Basically it's mostly reputation, some also pay for outside audits of their systems so they can more effectively boast.
No log vpns probably do cooperate with authorities, but the fact that they are no log means they don't provide anything. They get a warrant for logs and identification, they comply and send a letter "we have no logs, or way to trace the identity of a user".

Nice! I was looking at the max version of the cloud gateway, I think it will do everything I need. Thanks for sharing, glad you're happy with it

Most people turn to a VPN for one reason: privacy. And with its verified badge, featured placement, and 100k+ installs, FreeVPN.One looked like a safe choice. But once it’s in your browser, it’s not working to keep you safe, it’s continuously watching you.
How the fuck else do you think a for profit company is offering free tech?

Ubiquiti router with all traffic (excluding streaming sites and video games) encrypted via Mulvad. Checkmate atheists.
Also PS, if you’re not paying for the product you’re the product. Checks notes: I’m not paying for Lemmy?
PPS reminder to donate to Lemmy/PieFed

Why?

Why?
- Minecraft, to keep my ping down
- Streaming, because Netflix and others will aggressively block VPNs

There are things on the internet that are free and fine to use. VPNs are not one of them. They have ongoing hosting and bandwidth costs. They are not eating those costs without recouping them somehow.

Didn't netflix encourage vpn's for like a decade?
I havent paid for streaming in forever, because i dont want to give art-mangling archive-destroyers my money, but that's amazing.

No idea tbh. All I know is most streaming services block them now since they often have different content in different regions.

That seems so fuckkng tedious. Why are you paying them for that sevurity compromising bullshit? They're absolutely selling your juicy juicy data.
Valid on the Minecraft.

Honestly I’m mostly leeching off my friends lol. And my cell provider bundles Netflix.
It’s not super tedious. Every time something doesn’t work, I just add it to my VPN exclusion list. I don’t really care if my ISP snoops on Netflix tbh.
The VPN blocking doesn’t really bother me. It’s the enshitification of streaming services that bothers me. E.g. why does every paid service now trying to show me ads.
Btw, a lot of Lemmy instances also don’t play nice with a VPN. Probably to block bots. PieFed is likely the same.

Free trial with limitations is a classic method that has worked well

if my isp
Oh honey it's so much worse than that.
And fuck those lemmy instances? Might consider blocking communities hosted on them.

Enlighten me. What damage do you thinking they are doing by snooping in my streaming traffic? Aside from profiling me and predicting my every move lol. But even with a VPN they are still finding ways to profile me.
As far as Lemmy instances, they are likely in a tough spot. You can’t build an enjoyable platform if it’s crawling with bots.

Ours allow vpn's, aren't shit holes.
enlighten me
Media consumption and ad responsiveness are really good data.
Then they can connect this to your other shit (phone model browser data etc).
Violate you with medium certainty everywhere.
Edit: Wouldn't be shocked if that's why the fingerprinting on you works so well. Assuming you arent slipping too bad anywhere else.

better than having a company that is directly known as watching you and sending all of it to your government
some companies have built a strong reputation
Knowing a company is watching me because it's openly known, is to me better than paying a company to not watch me and likely risk them simply selling out eventually like they all do.
It's funnier when you stupidly expected them to protect you, PAID them for it, and they don't.
It's like 23andme. Too fucking funny and everyone deserves it for their stupidity.
