Can someone please educate them about this? https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/does-framework-accept-cryptocurrency-as-a-form-of-payment-SkrFF0Wt_
Yea there are lots of articles and blog posts trying to sell VPN subscriptions with referral links. It's also wierd to see VPN companys sponsor random youtube video's.
About using Tor through a VPN, it is not problematic, but it's a possible waste of time/speed/money.
And about using a standalone VPN, even then, in many cases, i whould argue against using a VPN. Because it's just shifting trust from your isp to a vpn. And when using a vpn, you stand out, to the vpns (honeypots) and to your ISP. And the VPN can collect data, like DNS data.
I’d trust a regularly audited VPN more than Verizon or Spectrum, lol
Thanks for the additional points regarding Tor. Do you work on or for the project?
My understanding is that it’s not quite so black and white, and that there are still privacy risks with Tor as well…
This article links to a bunch of examples, studies, other articles. Curious to hear your take on it — as I said, I’m still learning.

Obv if one is doing something illegal then the internet is dumb, period. I’m more curious about how freedom activists in adversarial jurisdictions can protect themselves…
I do not have any affiliation with the Tor Project. Im just also exploring options for better privacy.
Lot's of the points in that atricle are fair, but probebly exaggerated. Tor as a protocol is not perfect, but VPN's are not a alternative and using them in combination does make even less sense.
When talking about using a VPN without Tor. The question is who to trust, your ISP or a VPN company. But when using Tor with a VPN it does not provide any direct benifit.
Another alternative to look at is the Invisible Internet Project or i2p. It's very different than both Tor and a VPN. But probebly even more private, because it does not use the existing ip address system. You can't access the rest of the internet while connecting to i2p.
Tor provides a secure connection by routing your internet traffic through 3 nodes, ensuring your IP remains anonymous. The first node knows your IP but not the content or destination of your data. Tor nodes are run by volunteers, similar to Bitcoin.
Many VPNs are considered honeypots, as exposed by Edward Snowden, with real-world examples to support this.
It seems there's a misunderstanding about the Tor network.
Tor does not leak IP addresses, and even if it did, no data would be associated with those addresses.
Tor nodes cannot see web traffic. If you wish to avoid your ISP detecting Tor usage, consider using Snowflake (https://snowflake.torproject.org/). Snowflake conceals Tor usage, while a VPN (honeypot) might reveal it.
Using a VPN with Tor generally offers no benefits, and for multiple reasons, I would advise against using a VPN even for regular internet usage. However, with Tor, a VPN does not make any sense.
For that reason TOR uses not one but 3 nodes. And VPN's also know your IP in that case, but vpns are centralised and honeypots most of the time.
That does not make sense
NEW: If elected, RFK Jr. plans to exempt #Bitcoin conversion into dollars from capital gains tax 👀
He believes this will help foster innovation as well as make American citizens more impervious to political overreach 🙌

I mean, nostr can't send video's over the protocol yet so it would not really be decentralised but if that does not matter it should be easy to make a nostr client for videos
