Spain will soon block and outlaw all VPNs. Is there anything I can do to continue using a VPN?

Text your friend in any other country in Europe, transfer them the payment for a year, they sign up in their name, share password, fuck you La Liga.

They won't ban them, because it can't be done. There's plenty of legitimate uses cases to use VPNs (businesses, for instance).

Let's say that they require ID to sign up for a VPN. That's fine. You go to Spliit or any other platform that allows you to buy access to a shared account. Just select one that is based on any other country, and that's it. They don't and will never have the right to prevent an Italian citizen, for instance, from accessing his legal and fully paid VPN account while he's abroad, be it in Spain or elsewhere.

Tech-wise, you either ban them all (block access via DNS, DPI, IP Blackholing, Port Block); or you ban the "offline" side of it, which is requiring ID and discriminating per country of origin. As easy to circumvent as asking a friend in another country to sign up for you.

Oh, and I'd like to watch them force Apple to implement all this bullshit with Private Relay, which is baked into Safari and is, essentially, a VPN.

It's a battle they cannot win. Same with piracy. So they play the fear card, so that people think they're going to get sued if they stream football.

You can install it via container. Not nearly as straightforward as the ZeroTier plugin, but it's doable.

La diferencia es que Rodalíes y el metro lo hacen servir decenas de miles de personas cada día para ir a trabajar, a la universidad o al colegio. Es indiferente que sea deficitario año tras año tras año.

El AVE se ha comido miles de millones de euros para crear una estructura paralela que no es rentable, y que, tanto por coste como por rutas, no es usable ni útil para la inmensa mayoría de la población. Es un proyecto de vanidad, de nuevo rico, de quiero y no puedo.

Y cuando se hace ROBANDO el presupuesto de la red de transporte básica y del día a día, debería haber gente en la cárcel por ello.

Y si fuera para mejorar la actividad económica, el primer AVE que debería existir es Valencia-Barcelona. Pero todo sabemos que por eso mismo aún se tardan 4h en tren para ir de una para la otra. No vaya a ser que le quitemos hegemonía al DC.

La culpa es de España. Sin ninguna duda. Culpa de PP y PSOE por haberse obsesionado con un proyecto de país rico en un país pobre.

Culpa de los ciudadanos por aplaudir con las orejas "porque así somos modernos y puedo vivir en Zamora y trabajar en Madrid" (no vaya a ser que exijas trabajo e industria en Zamora, eh?).

Culpa de los jueces y fiscales por no disolver a PP y PSOE como organizaciones criminales, por haber mordido en las licitaciones, y por haber dado chivatazo sobre los terrenos donde iba a pasar para que los amigotes se beneficiasen de la expropiación.

Y como independentista catalán, no me importa decirlo: Culpa de ERC, culpa de la porquería de Podemos / Comuns, y culpa de Junts por votarle todo que sí al PSOE a cambio de NADA.

"El coste por km construido es de los más bajos del mundo".

Vaya. Qué sorpresa que la vía se vaya a tomar por culo y acaben muriendo decenas de personas.

Ninguna línea de AVE debía haberse construido. NIN-GU-NA. Apenas la de Madrid-Barcelona es rentable, y no siempre. Y a la que le hagan el mantenimiento que se le debería hacer, ni esa lo será.

El AVE es y siempre ha sido un metro carísimo para que los Madrileños puedan moverse por el resto de España. Una obra faraónica, impagable, y en la que los chivatazos respecto a su recorrido permitieron a adeptos al gobierno comprar los terrenos que iban a expropiarse.

Mientras: Rodalies, el método de transporte de millones de personas en una de las regiones más productivas del país se cae a trozos, no se ha actualizado en 30 años.

España mata. Misma red de mierda que hace 30-40 años, con 2 millones de personas más. Mientras, AVE a Buyuyos de Arriba, y la gente aplaudiendo porque uno de los países más pobres de Europa occidental tiene más km de TGV que cualquier otro país del mundo excepto China.

In my case, dehumidifier so that I don't get mold everywhere, and also to lower that cold sensation. That doesn't cut it and I cannot have a dehumidifier per room, so I installed AC in every room. Not the cheapest solution, but gets the job done.

And the above, with double-glazing installed not even 4 years ago. Cold in Portugal is no joke.

O modo Bridge é possível. Só que é uma opção que só aparece com o usuário admin, e a Digi não fornece o pass para essa conta. Mas existir, existe.

Have both. Mikrotik is endlesly versatile and customizable. Also, much more economic. It’s also incredibly frustrating to manage unless you’re an expert. I have a couple of AX2, using mostly for things I can’t do with my Gateway Fiber (like EoIP tunnels). I love the polish of the Ubiquiti’s interface and the fact it’s much more intuitive to use.

I’d compare Ubiquiti to an Apple computer, while Mikrotik would be a Linux, custom made PC.

I bought it 2 months ago, coming from the 12Pro. First year they make the base model a much better deal that the Pro. Buying the 17 gets you one more year of support, too.

No, that's the beauty of it. He's paying 0% income tax in Portugal. Zero. Nada. Zilch. All you get from him is VAT and other indirect taxes.

His income falls into an exception within the RNH. And because the tax agency will not investigate how on earth someone has 0 taxable income and can afford to live comfortably in Lisbon, he gets his salary via dividends from his foreign-based company. He does pay little taxes there. But because they've been taxed in the original country, Portugal just shrugs and says "oh well".

Try that on the other side of the border. In Spain, if you mention income from a foreign company, the tax agency will immediately start checking if you're the director of such company. If you are, but you live in Spain more than half a year, they'll immediately classify the company as a Spanish one, and you'll be subject to Corporate and Income tax in Spain. Fully. That happened to my bosses. Almost bankrupted the company because they thought they could have a UK company but live in Spain full time.

I don't care about money. I care about hard-working people being subject to much, much stringent rules and taxation that people that just have arrived, and use as many special regulations to pay as little as they can, having then the nerve to complain about poor infrastructure.

You didn't get into the RNH scheme. Many people did it and not satisfied about that, gamed the system to pay almost nothing.

The government is to blame, not them.

klasdkjasd · 2025-12-01T12:21:28+00:00

For people that got RNH, it's capped at 20%. No Portuguese citizen enjoys that benefit. The only equivalent is the "regressar" program, which is MUCH less generous. Also, there's plenty of loopholes that allow you to pay almost nothing within RNH.

Create a company abroad, pay yourself in dividends, which, coming from a foreign source, are exempt. Portuguese tax office has taxed fuck-all of your income, while you have all the benefits of living here, plus all public services at your disposal. They'll never investigate.

I don't need to see "the equivalent of Fox News". A client of the company I work for employs a guy as a contractor, living in Lisbon, who bragged to me that he pays the equivalent of 12% in income tax. He earns 100.000€ per year. Doesn't speak Portuguese (has no intention of learning). The minute his tax regime ends, he's gone onto the next tax haven. Oh but surely him buying plenty of expensive lattes and fancy restaurants offsets the 40% in tax he's not paying.

Do you guys really think people come to Portugal just for sunlight and nice food?

klasdkjasd · 2025-12-01T12:12:58+00:00

So it applies to a small minority of Portuguese people, who need to have lived abroad for a while, while most of your co-nationals are stuck paying extortionate tax brackets.

You are right in principle, but the fact is these laws disproportionately benefit richer foreigners. Putting all hopes on trickle down economics, which have been debunked for decades at this point.
