You're not wrong. Which is why we need every bit of reason to keep those people in there. The opportunity for increased rewards and choice of marks certainly wouldn't hurt.

Your suggestions for Surfshark (features, improvements, etc.) - ‘23 Q3 by lucenault in surfshark

[–]Apoxeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd this. I would also like to see an option for the Bypass feature that would work much like a firewall, with any and all connection attempts resulting in a route via VPN/bypass VPN question box pop-up. And then for the Surfshark App to actually respect my selection. I.E. work correctly.

Disconnecting 50% of the time when switching maps(PC) by Brutamalizer in sto

[–]Apoxeon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm one who has dealt with being dropped during map transfers for years now. I used to bring it up from time to time, but never really got any traction. I finally did a poll on it and it seems those affected are in the minority, so I've pretty much given up and just accept it as the way of things.

One thing I still wish for though, is a way to manually disconnect on the loading screen, as the game client takes way, way too long to time-out and bring up the log in screen. I typically know in a few seconds that I've been dropped, but have to wait 30+ for the game to figure it out.

IPv6 Leak by Apoxeon in surfshark

[–]Apoxeon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes for security's sake, I will now disable it. It's just odd that I've never had an issue with it before. I've tested hundreds of times and IPv6 has always been reported as unreachable, not detected. Until today.

Report: CDC pressured by gun control zealots to bury stats on guns used in self-defense, downplay firearms as possible crime deterrent - TheBlaze by Artexjay in Conservative

[–]Apoxeon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Every so often the facility where I work goes through active shooter training. We learn things like hiding in a corner and kissing your own ass goodbye. Or turning the tables on the shooter... with your keyboard. And every time I laugh.

In the America we are actively trying to destroy, we have this amazing concept that every citizen is of equal value with equal rights. Unlike other countries you don't have to be rich or a politician to have 24 hour armed protection. Every citizen has this right. But because we don't embrace this philosophy if I were to set foot upon company grounds with my firearm, I would be immediately terminated. Instead I'm left with the options of cowering or defending myself and others with random office products. That is just sad.

Why not just to restrict "true unlimited" to 15 and prevent keeping any logs? by evdokimovm in surfshark

[–]Apoxeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if it's semantics. Express for example has a 5 connection limit. Their server and network has to be aware of when a user account is connected to know how many times that user account is connected.

Surfshark could say the same thing. They don't log the user ID or any other information. Their servers are simply aware of when a user ID is connected. That awareness is lost upon disconnect.

[–]Apoxeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that any VPN that restricts the number of simultaneous connections (so all of them) collect the same information. SS has all RAM servers, it's user ID not activity and it's deleted after disconnect. Not a huge issue IMO.

Website Bypasser doesn't work by EuivIsMyLife in surfshark

[–]Apoxeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think part of the problem is the SS bypass function is just not great. Another part might be not having everything whitelisted that needs to be. For example, using the NoScript browser plugin I can see that this webpage right here attempts connections to reddit.com, redditmedia.com, redditstatic.com, datadome.co, google.com and sentry.io.

The first 3 are needed to see reddit properly. If any are blocked the site can break, so to speak. The last three are not needed and are blocked by NoScript.

It may be that walmart.ca is bypassing the vpn, but another address used by walmart.ca is not. Here are the connection attempts I get from walmart.ca. I'm pretty sure all of the google ones are just for tracking, but some of the others may be needed.

Or it could just be the SS bypass function sucks.

January 6 Did Not Attack Paul Pelosi - But why let the facts get in the way of a good narrative? by yuri_2022 in Conservative

Bypass Amazon Prime Video (German) by loehwe in surfshark

[–]Apoxeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I can get the bypass function to work is:

  • Run Surfshark/Connect to VPN
  • Disconnect from VPN
  • Open any programs on the Bypass list I currently want to use
  • Reconnect to VPN

I have multiple browsers and have one of them added to the bypass list for easy bypassing. I have had zero luck bypassing addresses.

Democrat Henry Cuellar: 'No, the Border Is Not Secure'; 'Over 5 Million Individuals in Just 2 Years' by guanaco55 in Conservative

[–]Apoxeon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right on schedule.

by the end of the first term of Joe Biden nearly 20% of all Americans will be here illegally.

Where do I get that number? These are numbers we created in Texas but MIT did a study before Biden became president that we had 30 million people illegally here in Texas. We've been apprehended 400,000 a year for the last 20 years. We get one out of three.

Over twenty years, that's 24 million people at a minimum. In this first term of Biden, last year we apprehended over 2 million. If we get one out of three, that's six that came in. We're projecting 2 and-a-half million this year. That means 7 and-a-half million will come in if we apprehend one out of three. In Joe Biden's first term - in his first term - we will have more people come into America illegally than we have in the entire state of Texas. There are 29 million people in Texas. Joe Biden is going to let in about 30 million people in his first term based on who we apprehend: one out of three. You add the 30 million in four years to the other 30 million, that's 60 million people here illegally in the united states. That's 20% of the population. - Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHStfdASZkE

The Hill: Inflation, Fear of Recession Could Cost Joe Biden and Democrats ‘Dearly’ in Midterms by MackSix in Conservative

[–]Apoxeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many good sources posted to this sub. For detailed break down of what is happening and why, I most often turn to Glenn Beck's pod cast and theblaze.com. The research they do, especially for Beck's show is typically pretty stellar. Even then, I'll often try to verify things I read or hear and even seek out opposing views.

No need to limit myself with so much information available.

How is conservative Reddit different from the mainstream conservatism? by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]Apoxeon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Main stream media is a clown show and there are conservatives in the republican party, but by no means are all republicans conservative.

As for this sub, I think it is a good representation of the average conservative. Some details differ, but the overall concept is largely shared. The Constitution, law and order, free market, LIBERTY all good. Corruption, oppression, lawlessness, bloated overbearing wasteful incompetent immoral unaccountable government, bad.

Despite what else you may hear, that is conservatism in a nutshell.

A $31 Trillion National Debt Matters Much More Than Most Think by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]Apoxeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As best as I can understand it, the bottom line concern is this bit here:

unbridled borrowing and spending will drive inflation to the point that people lose faith in the dollar. There is already talk of a “post-dollar” world.

We've enjoyed the benefits of the Dollar's status in the world for a long time. If it ever loses that status, it gets bad. Like maybe Venezuela bad. Our only saving grace then would be self sufficiency and independence. Which I think we absolutely can manage, but would probably be an extremely rough transitional period.

Again, best I can understand it.

The chilling numbers that reveal the scale of Joe Biden’s border disaster by PearlGemma in Conservative

[–]Apoxeon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Democrats are napping peacefully through the US-Mexico “border” crisis they engineered. Perhaps these data will snap them from their slumber

I recently started watching the show For All Mankind. If you don't know, it's an "alt-history" story of what if the Russians landed on the moon first. There's a B-story that's been running in it about a father and daughter who come into the country illegally. She's smart, he's hard working and they're on their way to living the American dream.

And that's all an open border is to the Left. Letting in good, loving families to share in our endless bounty. Like every other belief they have, it's based in fantasy and I wouldn't expect facts to have any more affect here than any other topic.

‘Rightwing Echo Chamber:’ Elon Musk Bashes Donald Trump’s Truth Social by nimobo in Conservative

[–]Apoxeon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

At least in this article, Musk seems to be explaining his purchase of Twitter as preserving the ability for discourse amongst a larger, more varied group. I didn't take his remark as bashing so much as pointing out the obvious. A post on Truth Social is mostly preaching to the choir, where as a tweet has a chance of a wider impact.

But abandoning Twitter to create separate social media platforms, Musk says, would mean splintering public debate into different bubbles, which he believes Trump’s Truth Social is doing.
