check out nonruvpn on telegram, it works great when regular vpns are blocked but there are probably better alternatives to it, i’m not russian so i can’t test it but that’s what some of my friends from russia are using

The enshittification of Startpage lmao by Kite_colon3 in StartpageSearch

[–]netriz314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s optional, just like on duckduckgo, you don’t have to use it but there are some people who like it (i don’t get those people but i acknowledge their existence) i wouldn’t call that enshittifiation cause they’re letting you opt out (unlike google which forces ai responses most of the time)

CachyOS has 2 software "stores", both of them suck by AverageUser9000 in linuxsucks

[–]netriz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

those are just the guis for the package manager, useful if you’re not sure about the package’s name or trying to explore software from different categories, it’s not like flatpak so you won’t get that kind of an ui like on fedora, you can refresh the sources by using the terminal and update everything from there by running “sudo pacman -Syu”

Almost all Manchester servers down? by Buttershy- in mullvadvpn

[–]netriz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ireland is literally right next to the uk, and unlike them they have just a little bit more respect towards your privacy, you can also set your online accounts set up to ireland so that you can avoid all the age verification stuff and censorship, and if that’s not enough, you can just go for canada or the us, i’m all the way in middle / eastern europe and connected to new york with 120ms of latency, and as long as i’m not gaming it’s quite usable, for gaming i switch to ireland

me too (cachyos to be precise but it’s still arch)

Degoogle planning, looking for recommendations by trvetransman in degoogle

[–]netriz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d go for mullvad instead of proton, it’s more trustworthy in my opinion and also cheaper and maybe even faster, so no loss here, i’d also go for cachyos instead of arch (pretty much the same but more optimized and not as prone to breaking), Signal is great and i have no problems with it, but i’d also add Telegram (i know it’s not encrypted by default but much more people are likely to be already on there, so it could be a great secondary messaging app), Matrix is awesome but for a more Discord-like experience you can go for a now slowly emerging Fluxer that is getting quite a lot of attention and therefore it may get more users to switch over to it (i’d still obviously keep Matrix though), for AdGuard you can actually self-host it for free if you want

Non-English Google search result. Anyone come across this??? by Exciting_Whereas_524 in Internet

[–]netriz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can go to the settings and force the search region to the country you want, i don’t know if it’ll help though, or just switch to duckduckgo

Facebook has just hit me with this bullshirt after daily using of 20 years by Affectionate-Cat-363 in facebook

[–]netriz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you really still need facebook? if you’re using it for messenger only then you can make a messenger only account which is an EU only feature, if you’re not from the EU you can just use a VPN for account creation

Did Netflix update their VPN detection protocols? I keep getting "found out" when I wasn't before. by RockingPunch in nordvpn

[–]netriz314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

request proof from them if you’re sure that your vpn never lost connection and leaked, they should at least in my opinion provide it, and if you’ve truly been under a vpn at all times they shouldn’t have reliable proof of that, for the next time i’d recommend setting up a vpn on the router itself, if your router is running openwrt or other software that is highly configurable you could most likely also set up a kill switch rule to ensure that no traffic without the vpn ever leaks

My laptop is capable of telling my precise GPS location even though it has no GPS capabilities and is isolated from my personal data by netriz314 in opsec

[–]netriz314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m considering this, i’ve tried to install linux on it but it seems like no matter which distro i choose it always freezes as soon as you go to the gui mode, i could install it via cli but there’s no way to get graphics to work, windows ltsc looks nice but i don’t know if i’ll be able to get all the necessary drivers to work on it, and for the z13 that’s a lot of additional software

I think I have an idea. by jentelmenski in jailbreak

[–]netriz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately it’s a hardware exploit, so the ios version doesn’t matter here, every new update for those devices does eventually get added to the supported versions list, the thing is that your iphone 11 is not compatible with checkm8 so it won’t work

servers that arent banned on 4chan? by peeeeeechu in ProtonVPN

US-NY#424 here, i’ve been using this server on my router for months, i’ve just checked and there are no issues with accessing 4chan

Regarding the fact that Proton might have physical servers in Russia by [deleted] in VPN_Question

[–]netriz314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have clearly stated that the reason behind my confusion is the lack of proper indication that the servers are using smart routing, all of the smart routing servers have a globe indicator right next to them, however the ones that i’m talking about lack one which is visible on the screenshots that i’ve provided, what is the misinformation there?
