ARE VPNS ILLEGAL IN BRAZIL YET?

NOT YET
VPNs are not illegal here in Brazil, but using them to access prohibited content may result in fines.
Well, if they catch you using itโฆ ๐
Better still - they will prosecute first and find out later.
There is no restraint on a government body once they can abuse power.
They are not even following the due process of law anymore if you say the wrong words.
They just open an eternal investigation and arrest you, without even allowing access to its records. Not even a lawyerโฆ
I know. I've read the news.
It won't go on for too long, don't worry. This has happen many times and needs complete collaboration of the people or it will fail.
Just like free speech.
Not illegal unless you say the wrong thing.
Unless you want to risk your opsec being great, you can do it. Any public profile like mine would be obvious to see we're not complying and be prosecuted. The fine for using telegram through VPNs was R$100k/day if I remember well.

HEY SIRI WHAT THE FUCK IS A VPN
Nobody really cares if it is, Humans will always choose to do what they want to do if itโs within their own moral & ethical guidelines.
Enjoy your VPNs, your Torrents & your IPTV services etc ๐
Nobody know what is legal or illegal here. To Moraes yes, and he can imprison anyone without due process, but still dont exist any specific law about that.
There are some serious rumors that the Supreme Court is discussing making it illegal to run a VPN in Brazil. Insane.

Mullvad VPN. They accept bitcoin, donโt ask for your email and generates random user numbers, like a numbered bank account. Then you top up via bitcoin or other cryptos. They charge around 12 USD month, but the longer term you stay, the cheaper you get. Then you can use Mullvad Browser or Librewolf browser.
Pretty sure there is VPN implications in the Tik Tok bill tooโฆ might be wrong
There is
If this is insane, what is covid!
Em maio de 2023, quando houve aquela suspensรฃo temporรกria do Telegram, o ministro Alexandre de Moraes proibiu o uso de VPN, com uma multa de R$ 100 mil para quem fosse apanhado.

If pitchforks fail, highly recommend protocols such as shadowsocks and Trojan. Best of luck.
I don't see how they could enforce it. I suppose they'd have to create a list of every website (worldwide) where a VPN could be accessed... and then try to block it.
And even then, Starlink would still be accessible.
He will reach out to any vpn provider with a brazilian base and demand all user data. If the companies don't comply they will be subject to heavy fines and imprisonment. Based in his latest judicial rant he my try to prosecute companies outside the brazilian jurisdiction as he is trying with Elon Musk.
They made it illegal to use WhatsApp through a VPN before. Who didn't comply would also be prosecuted. The same thing will happen to Twitter, so unless you have a great opsec and still want to risk it, it's a bad idea to use it. Brazil will need to migrate to nostr.
It's happening everywhere
same shit as always in br: it depends. Nothing in our law is clear or straightforward
Fuck the Brazilian government and fuck all governments.
The time for compliance is over.
In this country I'm living in, it's become manditory to submit to iris biometrics. If I don't, then the government will restrict my travel and all governnent processes.
My reaction to this? Fuck them I'm not complying.
This is the way
๐ซก
Fuck yes, the time for compliance is definitely over! Iโm scheming up ways to actively become non-compliant. FUCK THEM

This is insane
Non-compliance in the face of overreach is a show of patriotism, imo. The more we stop pledging allegiance to a flag or a government and start pledging allegiance to each other, the closer weโll be to a more perfect union, wherever we are ๐
We the people, and I don't mean the US of A.
never comply no matter what
Stand strong homie. ๐ช
The time is near
Where I'm living new regulations require me to submit passport, id, address proof and then the phone company require me to have my photo taken by them......all just for a phone sim card.
It's for my protection!๐คก
Mandibles then bitcoin standard.
How to un-repost this note, please? I regret reposting this note for multiple reasons.
Warning about this for some time now
No one seemed to care
We need starlink and other options now
You are joking right?
I'll spell it out for you: right now the internet is serves by hundreds (thousands?) Of internet service providers. Dont like atnt? Go to sprint.
Starlink is ONE SERVICE PROVIDER. A CENTRALIZED PROVIDER OF INTERNET COMMUNICATION.
Musk is such a freedom fighter isn't he?
They most likely will try it... Doubtless.
Coming to a country near you soon.
I find it retarded that any govt would stop indirect communication. It's akin to being prevented from asking a friend to ask a friend.
But here we are.
Nostr is here for this
Yes they already are
My country is over.
No. I use it without any issues.
Not only illegal, but that judge Alexandre declared $20,000/hour fine ๐

Anything you can do with a VPN, you can do using SSH as a SOCKS5 proxy.
SSH is the "maintainence hatch" or "staff entrance" of the internet. And only North Korea is desperate enough to block that, so far.
Here's how:
AFAIK anonymity in general is illegal in Brazil.
VPN providors are probably getting letters from Xandao this morning.

It's not and will never be blocked.
It's actually annoys me when a website blocks VPN/Tor access. I try changing my IP address a bunch to see if any of them will work and sometimes get through. ๐
