I’m sharing this one because I’m curious what more knowledgeable people think about this one. Please take a peek at the article before joining the discussion, as my limited quote might have dropped useful information
The VPN industry runs on a promise. Pick almost any provider and the pitch is the same: “we don’t keep logs.” You hand over your entire internet connection and, in return, you get a pinky-promise that nobody is writing anything down.
For a lot of privacy-minded people, that promise stopped being good enough a while ago. A no-logs policy is only as honest as the company making it, and even an honest company can be hacked, subpoenaed, or quietly acquired.
Obscura VPN is trying to answer to that problem. Instead of asking you to trust its word, it splits the job across two independent companies so that neither one can tie your identity to your browsing. The first hop is Obscura’s own servers; the exit hop is run by Mullvad. a respected VPM company out of Sweden. Your traffic is end-to-end encrypted to Mullvad’s keys, so Obscura literally can’t read it, and Mullvad never sees who you are.
There was a guy on Lemmy awhile back who was daily driving TailsOS, as a bit. I wonder how it turned out
I’m actually using TorVPN on my device, and if it drops, I force all my internet connections to drop with it instead of leaking.
I find that I can still access most things, although some things will pretend that the connection can’t be established as if the site was down, and others will just give me like an access denied page.
The reason I am doing it at all to begin with is because one day we as free citizens are going to have to abandon the clear net entirely as it’s becoming the cuck net. I’m just preparing for that day by learning to use the services over tour today and getting used to the speeds and stuff I will have to deal with at that point.
