Whilst I understand your point Iggy/miles sonkin the defacto leader is on record of saying the following when talking of treatment of women:
Let's not kid ourselves this is Pavlovian conditioning!
I can't see why anyone would allow them to retain access to anyplatform.
Looks like a cult, acts like a cult, it is a cult!
Why would you support / advise these fukn ahats?
Good try, she's dead. Thanks.
Oh yes, like coming back home.
Chances are I was online before you was even a thought.
Helps if you keep an eye on the bigger picture that vpn is a tiny part of.
Teddy Sagi > Kape Tech > PIA, Cyber Ghost and ZenMate.
As someone who works in enterprise ISP tech space I always keep the bigger picture in mind, especially with the latest "tech Fads", VPNs are really easy to sell, especially when you already have other companies and even bigger shell companies.
Take the following scenario (it might be true it might also be conjecture):
person1 owns 2 shell companies that are big names in tech.
shell 1 starts out as a an ISP and soon grows to be a network transit provider.*
shell 2 starts out as a cyber sec company.
shell 1 get's really big and becomes a tier 1 provider that sells transit to BBC and is now peering with the likes of Cogent, Lumen/CenturyLink and others.
shell 2 get so big it branches out into VPN carrier tech and purchases a well used VPN company that also stands out as having a no logging policy.*
shell 1 starts providing seriously detailed analytics to it peers on a subscription basis with discounts to peers that repeatedly hit the 95th percentile on billing cycles, all the peers love being able to see detailed info of the traffic flowing over their transit relationships.*
Shell 2 also purchases another company that deals with adware and advert injection tech.
later shell 2 becomes so financially liquid it is now breaking out in to gambling and lucrative AIM ventures.
In the scenario above I've marked points with a * that should be red flags to VPN users BUT they have something obvious when laid out in this manner that a user of a VPN would not know. That is that even though the VPN is sold as no-logging the wider company still gets your data as all the traffic is flowing over the wider network owned by shell 1 that you have no idea of the relationship between them.
All traffic/data can be monetised and ultimately with decent visibility of all comprising parts tied back to you or your account, VPNs are good but just be aware of forced perspective, look beyond T&C's, look at the company and who owns it and what else they own.
You all got a hint at this with pirate bay, the feds couldn't take 'em down so the went to the DC provider and the network transit providers, you should do the same if you value your trust and data so much that you need a VPN for every connection.
Finally, with or without a VPN, Your IP is only used for 20% of the connection(10% at the start and 10% to the final endpoint), when your data/traffic flows over provider networks it becomes an AS number, a layer tag and even a colour, all of these interchange until it becomes an IP again, hits a website and for the most part all of that is accounted for and can be connected to you.
No surprises there, we took brexit as a thumbs up to do whatever the fuck we want and became a true cuntry!
Yes, all the ISP will see is the vpn tunnel. If you don't trust the ISP why are you with them?
When you access a website with https the ISP will not see what happens inside that connection as it too is encrypted.
If you run your own DNS server that uses root hints the ISP will see even less.
By using a vpn you're placing your trust on the provider and there is nothing stopping them filtering the outbound connection from all their VPN endpoints to collect and sell the meta data your hiding from you ISP.
All VPN providers just talk about logging but nothing about meta data collection, funny that 🤔
I'd consider endeavor if I didn't have dracut forced on me. Is there a way to install without it?
Mind-blown. I was already thinking for such a long time that the distrobox approach just didn't seem right at all for the purpose of security. But somehow my limited search never bear any results on how I should go about it. Perhaps I didn't do a good job on googling or somehow missed a (couple of) keywords to be effective at searching for this. And I seem to have finally found 'the holy-grail'; for which all credits obviously go to you!
TBH I don't use google search as all the results are there by SEO and algorithms, If I need a file type on a site ...then it's a different matter lol. I use DDG mainly and all I searched for was "brave browser in a container"
For more take a peak here: https://hub.docker.com/
I will definitely! Are there any keywords beyond the ones mentioned in your excellent comments that I would need for an endeavor as such?
I'd suggest following a good guide for your OS to get a container framework running say docker (seeing as I linked to the hub there): https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/fedora/
Once the "Engine" is installed move on to the next sections to learn how to use it, bear in mind you really don't need to make your own repo or pay a subscription as what you want is already out there provided by others.
Once you get things working and you have an application working in docker go check out the sites for the apps you use, check their github repos and you might find links to "Docker image" and then that means you can plonk it in a container, job done. For the applications you can't easily find an image for consider going deeper and making your own, just follow the other examples you've used and to share them open a repo on github or gitlab.
Words can't describe the epiphany I'm currently experiencing! Thanks again so much! I wish you and your loved ones the best! Heck, I would be fine with buying you a beer (or a cup of coffee :P ) or whatever. Please feel free to make use of 'these services' :P .
Thanks for the kind words, I try to share what I know with as many as possible to make things easier as at the end of the day we all wanting the same things really. Might have to take you up on the beer offer lol ...Cheers.
I've only ever had issues with the sync feature. I see many people have issues with rewards but I'm not into monetisation and have always just disabled the rewards part of it.
Can't say I'm surprised, he can be a reactionary douche.
