Michael :donor:<p>Looks like the open-source application firewall Portmaster has been acquired by the VPN provider IVPN.</p><p>I have tried out Portmaster in the past, it worked quite well. It is GPL licensed and will hopefully stay that way. But in my experience, an acquisition of a widely used open-source tool usually leads to a non-foss license change down the line, let's hope that doesn't happen here... there are no indicators of that happening other than my own cynicism. But my cynicism has been well-fed over the last years by corporations acquiring and enshittifying previously open-source projects. Maybe IVPN is different, I know nothing about them.</p><p><a href="https://safing.io/blog/2024/12/03/a-new-chapter-begins/#disabled" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">safing.io/blog/2024/12/03/a-ne</span><span class="invisible">w-chapter-begins/#disabled</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/portmaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>portmaster</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/safing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>safing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/firewall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firewall</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/acquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acquisition</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gpl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gpl</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ivpn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ivpn</span></a></p>

It has no GUI app for <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a>, so i use its <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OpenVPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenVPN</span></a> configs in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NetworkManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NetworkManager</span></a>; not pretty, but it has been exceptionally good for me. It does have a dreadful reputation in reddit threads, but for me it's been great. Nonetheless, i always begin evaluating options each time my VPN subs are about to expire, seeking a nirvana of good privacy, security, no-logs, ram-based, no 5-eyes, streaming geo-dodging, Arch GUI possibility. Atm, my quest remains unsated. Recently:</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/IVPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IVPN</span></a><br> • Its GUI is very nice, very configurable, many options &amp; settings, &amp; both OpenVPN &amp; WireGuard baked-in.<br> • Only has two Oz servers, both in Sydney.<br> • From <a href="https://browserleaks.com/dns" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">browserleaks.com/dns</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> , there’s no apparent DNS leaks.<br> • PASS: SBS OnDemand.<br> • FAIL: ABC iView, BBC iPlayer.<br> • Conclusion: Pity, but nope, this VPN is now eliminated. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Surfshark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Surfshark</span></a> <br>I read dozens of reddit articles about it. Overwhelmingly bad [not universal, one or two fans] reviews &amp; complaints, ranging from Surfshark summarily closing accounts &amp; blocking users without explanation or refund [ie, same as claimed often for NordVPN], to them ignoring customer cancellation requests &amp; “illegally” auto-renewing credit card charges, to simply shitty VPN performance [disconnections, detected &amp; blocked by many sites]. Despite all these being possibly just hearsay, or dishonest spamming, they overwhelmed me enough such that I’ve now abandoned plans to continue considering this as a candidate. Hence, this VPN is now eliminated. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Mullvad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mullvad</span></a> <br>Based on reddit, some users or ex-users allege that Mullvad is not good for streaming, as they focus only on user privacy &amp; security, not streaming, so where it works, that latter is a bonus-only, &amp; is not guaranteed. If so, that’s the same excuse IVPN used. My streaming results: <br> • PASS: SBS OnDemand, BBC iPlayer, ABC iView [ABC24].<br> • FAIL: ABC iView [ABC1], ITV, CBC.<br>Pity, because again, its GUI is very nice, very configurable, many options &amp; settings, &amp; both OpenVPN &amp; WireGuard baked-in, but unlike IVPN, heaps of AUS &amp; global servers. Again, no DNS leaks.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Windscribe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windscribe</span></a> <br>I tested several months ago, but i wanna retest over coming days.</p><p>Interim Thought: Atm it seems i might need to remain with NordVPN, &amp; continue being deprived of a GUI app. 😔 </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/VPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VPN</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/streaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>streaming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ProtonVPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtonVPN</span></a></p>
