A local dropbear will find you.

I've seen the message popup when connecting in Linux CLI but didn't really pay attention to it. Since I'm running a DIY setup the whole network and all devices get routed under a single login anyway. I suppose it might be a valuable perk for what you mentioned.

It sounds appealing in that it uses WG / NL to make a VPN LAN out of devices based on your login. Using WG would be an improvement for those around here using legacy OVPN connections w/ ASUS.

A good thing it will be echo friendly.

Until she'll check on you, do sleep 2; Then your done.

Until she'll check on you

And if you keep no logs behind the gateway, the hack may happen really fast.

@Tech9
Glad to see you deleted your personal info from those logs, prior to posting!

 

[Tech9]

Yes, and the logging tools were purchased cash from another country. I know what I'm doing.

Good choice..

You should be safe now... Other wise the logreads and tail -f would get you every time..

 

[Tech9]

You should be safe now...

Not sure about that. I see bugs in logs. Am I hacked?

 

[Viktor Jaep]

Omg... I've never seen so many vpuns in a row before. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Make sure you stay out of view of the NSA eye-in-the-sky spy satellites, looking for heat signatures from all your log burnings/trimmings going on.

 

[Tech9]

looking for heat signatures

What heat signature? I have a shell wrapper.

Just don't want them to mistake you for a "UGO". Make sure you store that wrapper to a temporary location.

Thor /usr/bin is what I use for extra security.

I use ExpressVPN because it's excellent for streaming US content (HBO Max, CNN, Netflix, HULU, and all the apps DirecTV allow - I use someone's DirecTV login we don't have DirecTV in Australia). I find other VPN's can stream some content, but ExpressVPN can stream pretty much everything. Not only that, but I also use Proton VPN which is good but not great for streaming.

Just came across this interesting infographic that shows which companies own which VPN services: https://vpnpro.com/wp-content/uploa...-97-VPN-products-run-by-just-23-companies.pdf

Not surprised by this at all. Paid-for VPNs are; waste of time and money, with no benefit whatsoever, to me. And to most people who want to 'secure' their browsing habits too.

 

[Tech9]

with no benefit whatsoever, to me.

Let me give you an idea. Wife is usually more interested.

Online printable coupons, one per customer. Delete the cookie, change the IP, print it again, and again, and again.

Replying to partial quotes doesn't change the facts.

What facts are we not changing?

My wife is saving about $4000/year. A family vacation to Caribbean. She does it for sport and I'm okay with this fact.
