I see. You need either IPSEC/OVPN or need to encapsulate wireguard in an SSL tunnel. It’s a little involved but possible to do

How do they plan to “ban” encryption? What are they going to do if I get a VPN and download the Signal APK?

Thank you for the explanation. It would suck to put down money just to run a nym relay. I was interested in lokinet too but I wouldn’t want to spend more than a small VPS, really

Impressive, I didn’t know AirVPN accepted XMR. That greatly influences my decision about them vs PIA and others. I wanted a VPN which I could pay for anonymously and could torrent with (open ports)

I think PIA is decent for torrenting and Mullvad for privacy

Does TOR suffer from Sybil attacks? I admit I don’t know what that is, I’ll have to read about it

You’re right but if it’s something that sensitive I’d rather use TOR/I2P

Why do we care about their ownership if it’s proven that they don’t log and let you forward ports?

Ah I thought you meant during signup. I thought they were audited and provided proof that they don’t log anything? Is that fake?

Yes, Nym is new. Their mixnet has a lot of similarities with TOR.

What do you mean by “cost of maintaining a server”? I don’t think resource requirements are any different from TOR relays or exits.

It is possible in theory but I assumed they weren’t lying when they said over 800 nodes exist in their network.

Yeah maybe I should’ve put Nym as “of interest” rather than giving off the impression that it’s at the same level of reputation as Mullvad and IVPN

Over TOR?

Wait don’t they take crypto? Just fake your details

Mullvad, IVPN and Nym (not tested with audits yet, do not trust as much as the other two).

For clearnet browsing. PIA, AirVPN and Windscribe for torrenting. Windscribe and PIA are probably good for either but this is my classification, take it as you will

Can you link to their court hearing, specifically where they refused to provide logs?

Also, do they accept crypto?

You can seed public torrents with Proton? I thought they did something to curb that a few years back.

What is your opinion on Windscribe and PIA?

I didn’t think most of them allow port-forwarding

I’m interested in the VPN you use

I’m a bit confused.

The idea is to contain all non-FOSS apps in a workspace. I assume that I’ll have trouble without microg for some apps in said workspace, which is why I’m looking for a way to put microG in that workspace.

The rest of the apps will all be FOSS. Thus, I do not see a good reason to bundle MicroG in the base image. I’d like to keep all non-FOSS+Google stuff in one workspace and not have them touch the rest of my apps.

I’m assuming workspaces are akin to a “namespace” in general Linux terminology.

The problem you are going to run into though is that google has baked itself into android that you need something to trick android into thinking its operable.

In stock android, you COULD have a workspace that only uses microg, but considering you otherwise MUST have play services… Why?

What do you mean? I genuinely do not understand, I thought DeGoogled AOSP would work just fine.

Unfortunately, if I’m to use it as my daily driver I will need to use some non-FOSS apps. Mainly the 2FA apps like the ones from MS, Okta, Cisco etc. And Google maps because OSM didn’t work for me. And some chat apps because family. Rather than having MicroG in the base system for just this handful of Big-Tech produced apps, I wanted to contain all of them in a workspace. I don’t actually care about running eOS specifically, it’s just that running GrapheneOS means buying an expensive Pixel device. I want a privacy-foscussed ROM on which I can do this

Not bad. I’ll take that if it loads without javascript. I’d like my instance to have a web UI that I can use without JS
