I’ve tested entering Gab using 20+ different Proton IPs, not a single one worked. Proton’s ‘Stealth’ protocol, which was supposed to fight VPN blocks, also doesn’t work.

If Gab, a fairly small platform, is able to successfully detect our VPNs with perfect accuracy, and effectively block it entirely, then what stops every other site and big tech from doing the same? This is a worrying trend for online privacy.

With all due respect, why should anyone care if we have nostr? 😄

I don't care about Gab. But this trend is bad for online privacy overall.

Nostr can be very very bad for your privacy. Yly spread your meta data across relays which are maintained by? Who knows

What is Yly?

Please tell me what my meta data is.

Wait relay loading..................

Everything you do, post, search, view. At what times. And your IP (country, language, geo-location).

Yes and none of it is connected to my real identity in any way.

Haven't touched the internet without several layers of privacy tools in decades.

They use nearly all the same datacenters and Ip subnets, all are blocked.

Is IVPN or MullvadVPN like this too? Has anyone tested them vs Gab?

IVPN change their infrastducture because of this. Mullvad use thst datacenters
