I just wrote this post about what to think about regarding your digital privacy, after a conversation with someone who would be visiting America soon. It was weird, we couldn't talk (via app) about what we wanted to say. Like communist Germany in the 80s. The post is just 2 lists, aimed at non technical ppl who dont really know about the risks.

penworks.netPrivacy, what privacy?I just wanted to jot down a few things regarding privacy on the internet and in digital life. Though I'm not a security professional expert, I am...

It's crazy that I could remote into my server in KL all the way from Kedah using only my mobile hotspot and #Wireguard #VPN connection without noticeable lag or delays whatsoever. Though, I also did the same when I was in Osaka, and I suppose that's more impressive lol - anyway, Wireguard (and #Pi-hole) = Big W.

Топ‑5 VPN-сервисов для пользователей из России в 2025 году

В условиях ужесточения блокировок в Рунете и роста потребности в приватности, выбор надёжного VPN стал как никогда актуален.

В этой статье мы поделимся независимым обзором пяти лучших VPN-сервисов для РФ на 2025 год , сравнив их по цене, используемым протоколам, простоте подключения, наличию пробных периодов и дополнительным «фишкам».

Для удобства мы рассматриваем помесячную стоимость (а при наличии — и посуточную/понедельную). Ищите сводную таблицу сравнения в конце статьи.

Thank you very, very much to @timac! His `vpnutil` command line utility for #macOS really helped me! See…

For years, I used a script to call `scutil` to control my #VPN connection. Recently, it stopped working. It shows signs of using IKEv2 services mentioned in his blog…

Maybe my employer changed our services over to IKEv2 recently.

I replaced calls to `scutil --nc` in my script with `vpnutil` and all is now good again!

surely one of you #infosec peers has a guide or article on why #VPN services aren't the privacy silver bullet they often advertise themselves to be. something that mentions you're paying co-conspirators to #mitm your own traffic in addition to lowering the reputation to that of your new address space?

I'm interested in setting up #WireGuard on my #Debian colo, as a #VPN solution for my phone when I'm on untrusted networks. But the quick start guide being a video is really putting me off, and the examples seem to be purely about ad-hoc peer-to-peer networking rather than a gateway.

I'm tempted to go back to my comfort zone with #OpenVPN, but I'll stick with it. At some point it'll click and I'll write a HOWTO.
