Go on a walk.
Today is the day: Obscura VPN is NOW AVAILABLE!
Obscura is the first VPN that:
- CAN'T log your activity by design
- Outsmarts network filters
We believe Obscura sets the standard for a new generation of VPNs, and hope youβll check it out!

----
Contrary to popular belief, traditional VPNs (even βno-logβ ones) can track you β they see both who you are and what you do, just like your ISP.
Your ISP is no better. Since 2017, they've been able to legally sell your sensitive data.
Obscura is different β we never see your decrypted internet packets in the first place.
Itβs simply impossible for us to log your internet activity, even if we were compelled to, or if our servers were compromised.
We achieve this by using a fully-independent exit hop run by @mullvadvpn. Ensuring that our servers never see your traffic, and the exit hop never sees your identity.
In fact, you can check your connected serverβs public key against those listed on Mullvadβs server page!
But thatβs not allβ¦
You may have had the frustrating experience of trying to use your VPN on a restrictive WiFi: in an airport, a hotel, or certain jurisdictions.
Other VPNs will often fail to connect, as their off-the-shelf protocol is easily detected and blocked.
With Obscura, we built our own custom stealth protocol that is much harder to block.
Our protocol blends in with regular internet traffic using the same technology that powers HTTP/3 β QUIC β making it much harder for censors or network filters to detect or block.
To celebrate our launch, Obscura is just $6/month.
Our team has put in the hours to make this all a seamless experience, and I hope youβll take Obscura for a spin.

America's education dilemma: When the architects of the system lament their own creation
Vivek Ramaswamy recently sharply criticized the American education culture in a much-noticed X-Post. His core thesis: America produces too few top STEM talent because the culture emphasizes mediocrity over excellence. An analysis that seems plausible at first glance - but completely ignores the historical dimension.
The historical perspective
βHistory doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymesβ is a well-known saying. In the case of American educational culture, a particular irony is revealed: the system criticized by Ramaswamy was largely shaped by its industrial predecessors. Rockefeller and other industrial magnates actively shaped an educational system that was primarily designed to produce one thing: an efficient workforce for their factories and refineries.
The system behind the βmediocrityβ
The βculture of mediocrityβ lamented by Ramaswamy was no accident, but the product of targeted economic interests. The standardization of education, the emphasis on conformity and the suppression of individual excellence were core elements of a system designed to provide industry with a reliable, obedient workforce.
The contradictions of contemporary critique
It is particularly remarkable how representatives of the economic elite today lament the effects of a system from which their predecessors - and to some extent they themselves - benefited for decades. Ramaswamy calls for more βgeniusesβ and less βnormalityβ, but overlooks the fact that the criticized culture did not emerge by chance, but is the result of targeted economic optimization.
The way forward
While Ramaswamy's diagnosis of the cultural symptoms may be partially accurate, his analysis falls short. The solution does not lie in simply criticizing TV shows of the 1990s or calling for more math competitions. Rather, an honest examination of the structural causes and historical contexts is required.
The current debate about American educational culture is a perfect example of how history βrhymesβ: The same economic circles that established a system of standardized mass education are now bemoaning its effects. A sustainable solution requires more than superficial cultural critique - it requires a fundamental rethinking of the education system and its underlying goals.
The real challenge is not to push individual students to achieve more, but to create an education system that promotes both excellence and individual development - without losing sight of social responsibility.
