was using tails at a cafe that blocks all videos (for some reason) i used a bridge (the easy default one) went to invidious but no videos worked because of the network. everything else on the site worked. does it know the contents of the page despite tor? (im not using a work or school given device i am using framework)
(i also have an unsafe home network and have to use a google wireless access point. also have someone who has a virus. (we dont share the same device just same network) i cant remove it because i get scolded for messing with her stuff and spying on her (??? yes the virus is spyware the irony lol)) (everything i do has to be on device because my family doesn’t want me messing with the wifi)
(also any qubes specific advice would help since i wont be using tails as my daily driver anymore since i learned its not for that. also not a fan of the gimmicks but thats just me.)
thanks for reading any commcnt helps more people see this )
i got an error message (that ive never got before invidious has a lot of errors) saying that the network blocked it when i did it
also can you set up a vlan just from your device? my family wont want me messing with the wifi ( also idk how the employees would just let you mess with their network)
Use Tailscale; you set up a single account and then install the client on the devices you want to connect. You can select one to be an exit node (one on your home network) and then all devices can connect to that device and transit to the Internet irrespective of port forwarding etc.
The one downside to this is that you do end up with an account hosted on Tailscale servers, but this becomes the only exposure point.
thanks, btw does it slow the wifi or device down a lot and is ir free? im already using qubes and whonix and tor on my poor laptop
Tailscale is free and is just a wireguard client/server; there’s apps for Linux/Windows/Android/macOS/iOS, and they shouldn’t make much of an impact. Of course, whatever network traffic you route over it could have an impact, but that’s up to you.
will it help against networks that arent secure or private?
Yes, because you’re using an encrypted channel for all network traffic and your home DNS.
There are some ways that an activity hostile Wi-Fi network can route around some of that, but for most use cases, it provides you a secure extension of your home network.
