7 daysDear Government. Quit trying to turn the Internet into 1980s cable TV. There’s a lot of us out here using it for its original purpose instead shopping and watching Netflix.

So employees that use a company VPN to access company files between offices are now breaking the law?
What about personal vpns that people setup to access their home devices, like a smart home setup or home security camera? Illegal as well?

No, specific IPs of AI companies are clear for doing this.
Incoming IP spoofs of OpenAI in 3, 2, 1…

Ya… I’m hosting an AI company from my $10k seed… It uhhhh focuses a lot on porn and tv.

AI company IPs about to not only be cleared but their traffic prioritised
Aha! So they’re small enough to fit into the tubes to block your internet traffic! Ingenious!

Remember when piracy was shrinking and Netflix was cheap and had a good deal of content?
Ah well, if only we can figure out what changed.
I guess we’ll instead try prohibiting VPNs, when something is in demand… prohibiting it always works great with zero unintended consequences.

When you only needed Netflix. Not Netflix, Hulu, Disney, HBO, Paramount, peacock, starz, apple, Amazon prime… I mean, I think most of us are fine paying for content. But, streaming has become at least as expensive as cable used to be.

Other P2P networks too.
Long live to Soulseek, eMule/ed2k, IPFS, Iroh, Retroshare, Tox and the like.

It’s almost as if the piracy is not actually why, or not the primary reason, they want to take total control of the internet
Nothing like passing legislation to force a collection of international communications protocols to ban sites the state doesn’t like….

I guess it’s inevitable that the USA must copy China’s approach to managing the internet… the existential crises are reaching a breaking point

They can’t stop me. Who wants to join my private sharing network? Let’s VPN it up.
Step 1: rent a $5 VPS anywhere outside of us government control.
Step 2: set up a multi-hop tunnel through said VPS using glutun and wireguard.
You are now immune to this bullshit.
Lmao

Looks at the 99% who can’t afford a VPS
You’re forgetting the most important thing

avg comes with one. pita, sometimes it turns it on when i don’t want to use it. I used to mess around with it because I got avg because my phone kept getting hacked and I was like this thing comes with a vpn!!! whaaaaaaat but tbh I have no use for t so I don’t even use it.
ngl though, if i went out of the country and needed to access paypal instead of using zelle, id use it, other than that, it’s annoying when i do a virus scan and it gets turned on after.

They can be found for less than $20 a month. They’re on par with 1-2 streaming services you can drop.

For some people that really need that, even less than one dollar is too much. $20 is basically matter of life or death.

I know, a VPS is nothing and running wireguard in a docker container takes 3 minutes.

You can build a psuedo VPN with as little as ssh + squid on a VPS. Tunnel your web traffic over ssh to a proxy on the VPS.
These “small government conservatives” have been spineless for so long, it’s hard to remember anyone ever made the claim!
