@itsaj26744 @Daxtron2 I use Tor browser for most the stuff, DuckDuckDuck browser with tor/vpn for the things which aren’t supported in Tor browser.

@authed All I wanna say is, you are free to use anything, it’s your life, have fun.

@authed I think they will resist more than a VPS would

@authed @grubbylarry Proton VPN free plan is even better than hosting vpn on a vps, because they atleast can claim of being protected by the Swiss law, so atleast they can protect your data by that. Whereas you can’t even sue your vps if they share your data with anybody, because nobody knows if they really did it. Additionally the problem of dedicated ip is there always.

@authed @grubbylarry I also used to host my own openvpn and wireshark servers on a vps. But later I shut them down. The thing is, vps will definitely trade your data if Gov pressure is high. Remember, data protecting is not their first priority being a VPS provider, their main priority is giving infrastructure to customers. But with vpn providers, their core business model is based on protecting users privacy (I am not saying all really do that, but many are bound to follow swiss laws or such)

@GreyTechnician Deleted fb. Deleted 12 year old Google account after taking everything out of Google Drive and uploading to AWS S3 with server-side-encryption (NextCloud). Hosted own email server (though deciding to turn it down because of hassle, shifting to Disroot mail), Uninstalled all Google + other proprietory apps by root, blocked all Google links on firewall (also using several blocklists). Converted myself to all-FOSS (I am using almost 100% foss now). Device cameras were taped on.

@possiblylinux127 okay. But self hosting Posteo on a VPS ! The VPS company can still see your mails if it’s imap and maybe give them to the government as well.

@root @TrippingBalls Connect for lemmy: is it avaiable for android ?

@volleyballcrocodile @possiblylinux127 What about Disroot ?

@Kissaki I want to know if there is any app (client) which works. Because I have tried some from F-droid and they show login error.

@Kissaki @TrippingBalls But are there any working?

@kanzalibrary Can you share the report ?

@solrize @GreyTechnician Bro, just remember one thing, “It’s never private”
