How recent is your experience with Mikrotik? How old is the hardware you tried out?

The tax pov is not the only pov that interests you if you sell drugs tho.

I'm not arguing for cloud flare hahahh it's horrible. I'm just saying, it's just one of many ways your data is taken. I don't see why the backdoors I listed should be used for targeted "attacks" only. They call it telemetry and it's "used to improve the product you use" hehehh

I think he's saying they don't have to if they can read it off of your pc or the server before it's even encrypted. OS backdoors, in-app backdoors, hardware backdoors inside the CPU like Intel ME...

I don't know the stats, but doesn't sound wrong.

Edit: since when is sharing scientific knowledge a reason for downvoting? It's not relevant??

Yeah, i see that. I guess I'm just lucky then. I mean there's this one survey company that nags ppl, but you block their one number or ask them to leave you alone and that's it. And the boring sellers always get flagged by Google so that's filtered out automatically. Basically, whenever my phone rings, it's for me personally and it's a call I'd want to take.

Croatia here. I never get malicious ones. Boring ones Google takes care of if you allow it to block them automatically.

European here.

This comment takes assumption that by "US falling to fascism" you meant Trump taking control of the USA. Please ignore everything if I misunderstood.

Trump's among the few US presidents that didn't start a new war. Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2A22QR/

He also scaled down wars in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. I AM NOT SAYING THOSE ACTIONS WERE GOOD OR BAD FOR THE USA, or for the rest of the world for that matter. And I'm really not qualified to discuss that.

This comment is ONLY a direct reply to a concern that Trump's rule should have Europe worried in the sense that he'll nuke us.

Maybe someone else nukes us as a consequence of his inaction, idk. But Trump nuking Europe is what you said, and I disagree.

That's a well written, logical statement that I can agree with. The comment I replied to originally contained definitive statements that stated the ONLY thing NATO did was worsen a specific situation. When I objected to that radical simplification, many words, even speeches and foreign identities (a mod called me "van der Leyem") were stapled on me/put into my mouth and completely discarded my comment. And the comment is as true as the truth gets, in the terms of, it actually happened hahaha. That way of discussion, communication and treatment of people can not possibly yield any useful information, conclusions or anything good.

I'm guessing they have a blacklist of known VPN servers and block you from accessing them. One of the options is running a VPN server at your home outside of China.

1. Ask your ISP to be excluded from their NAT and to give you a public IP address

2. Use a DDNS service if your public IP changes regularly, so you have a domain name which always points to your current IP

3. Install Wireguard VPN on your computer (or if you have a fancy router like Mikrotik run it on the router)

4. Port forward a port to that computer/server

5. Install Wireguard app on Android and connect. If done well, your data will be sent encrypted to your home, and you access the Internet from there.
