“We’ve been trying to resolve this for over a month, and getting nowhere. Support is non-existent,” Windscribe said in its post. “Anyone know a human with a brain that still works at Microsoft and can help?”

Microslop. The word is Microslop, for reasons you have just experienced first-hand.

I did a doubletake because I read the article like 12 hours ago about VeraCrypt's dev getting locked out of their MS account, then could have sworn it wasn't Wireguard that was affected.

Another reason to never use anything bigtech.

Donenfeld, the WireGuard developer, told TechCrunch in an email: “If there were a critical vulnerability to fix right now — there isn’t! I just mean hypothetically — then users would be totally exposed.”

Well, the Windows users would. I assume that they'd still release builds for the other platforms.

Looking at the licensing of WireGuard VPN holds the answer to the way MicroSlop prioritized this:

The kernel components are released under the GPLv2, as is the Linux kernel itself. Other projects are licensed under MIT, BSD, Apache 2.0, or GPL, depending on context.

Windows is making a move to destroy my favorite type of tunnel. The only problem with that Macroslop is that I don't use them on windows machines at all. FreeBSD and Linux sure but the only thing a windows machine is good for is to be a shitty server or a workstation for those who wont learn something new.

Then stop pushing updates to Windows?

Can't legislate VPNs out? Make it difficult to use them/install them and ultimately allow imposters to spring up.

Totally responsible environment the US is cooking up lately.

Corporate infrastructure will never free you. It will turn on you.

Nire reason to move to codeberg then. Probably should've done it sooner.
