If I said "this is a privacy vpn-browser", then: people say "oh I have a vpn" or "oh I have a browser". Scroll on..

So instead, I'm framing this as the structure of the internet is corrupt and the solutions you're using are propaganda, that expose your entire life to a tyrannical Big Tech AI. And this is being purposefully suppressed and hidden from you..

The real critical issue is NOT technology. It's a propaganda problem. And you can not get privacy until you learn this:

Thank you very much

appreciate your time bro

What kind of trust do users need to have regarding SP?

Great question, we give the user as many options as possible to reduce trust in us as much as possible.

a) It's open source and doesn't require sudo for the layer 2

b) Layer 2 can be run on top of Layer 1 from a different provider, so we can't see the real IP

c) Micro billing empowers you to separate different parts of your life into profiles, we don't know they are you. And it's offline until connecting with that profile

d) We currently allow Tor->socks5 proxies so then we see an exit node

e) We're in process of decentralizing the servers, so it would be anonymous without needing a "different provider". So just using the VPN you already have.. then you're hiding from both them and us. And we purposefully use different datacenters than the major VPNs such as Mullvad or IVPN, giving you diversity for this.

Recap:

-You pick between Wireguard or Tor->socks5

-No vendor lock-in, You can be anonymous with another provider systemwide

-No sudo required

-No connection between identities, in-app Monero/lightning billing

-No "mega-huge" international datacenter providers

Ultimately, you can't really trust anyone, so that's why services like our's try to minimize it as much as possible.

I’m just a guy that finds it all very interesting. Re: The topic of data privacy and cybersecurity. Self studied CISSP, and a ream of others…mostly for curiosity. Passed their exams, got the certifications. My point? There is always more to learn- I have learned more about the real weaknesses of most people’s and organization’s privacy posture by studying the above posts and by testing the SPVPN/Browser combo. I honestly don’t believe there is an existing tool that comes even remotely close to matching the functionality of SPVPN/Browser. You’re right, the other tools are merely propaganda and a serious false sense of security once one truly understands the situation at hand.

good you got the CISSP, yes this is a very different curriculum.

That kind of security is helping protect companies from external hackers.

Our kind of security is protecting individuals from corrupt organizations.

And that’s the irony. One can be an expert in protecting corporate interests and yet be completely clueless about their personal protection. Or falsely assuming they are protected and yet know nothing about “clowdflare” fingerprinting technology.

When reading all these articles it seems that everything I thought was private, probably isn't, like Firefox, LibreWolf, Mullvsd browser, Tor browser. That sucks.

Which browser is a better option? Or does it depends in which environment you run it? Would it be better to run a browser in a VM? If so, which one and which browser?

Thanks for your time. So our app creates isolated enviornments that realistically fool the website, but without slowing down things, or taking up space, or taking time to start like a VM. Also VMs require time to setup each one.

Our system can be thought of as a combination of:

a) A VPN

b) A new way to fake screen dimensions and timezones, that's a similar CONCEPT to a virtual machine, but lighter/faster

c) A 2nd Linux distribution, to distribute the browsers effortlessly (with AI and telemetry both removed)

d) A Billing system to give you $1 burner billing identities for monero or bitcoin lightning

So you can effortlessly switch between realistic profiles, without having to configure fancy heavier solutions, like QubesOS.
