So I’m pretty recent to the high seas but I’ve seen a few posts now about “stop relying on your VPN” and “people that think VPNs will protect them are naive” and so on.
So since I believe knowledge is our greatest weapon/tool/super-power, can we get some answers regarding what exactly the doomsayers are getting at? ELI5 why VPNs wouldn’t protect your anonymity.
Is it about logging? The country your end-point is in? Something more technical?
Ultimately I’d like to be fully armed in order to keep making the best choices for my fledgling ship as it navigates the vast, stormy seas.
@CmdrShepard @CausticFlames https://pivpn.io/ could be a solution on some vps accepting crypto or money like mullvad by the postmail 😅
I briefly read through the page, but don’t fully understand this. Would this replace the need for a commercial (paid) VPN completely and allow me to create my own VPN using my own hardware (a Pi or more likely Proxmox since Pis are expensive now)? If so, how does it mask your IP address and where does the replacement IP come from?
