Thought this might suit somebody here
Hey you. Yes you. Do you have more routers than you can reasonably explain? Do you flash custom firmware for fun? Have you ever spent an entire evening troubleshooting an issue with router, then called it “relaxing”?
Xeovo is looking for you and your router, network and technical knowledge. We are going to give an opportunity for our community members to expand guides for routers, earn money and get recognition on Hub.
Our router tutorial section has the biggest gaps. Let's change this together.
Requirements:
You have a router model from 2022 or newer, preferably from high-end lineup.
You have an active Xeovo subscription.
You can write clear English and explain technical steps well.
You are comfortable with setting up and troubleshooting VPN on routers.
You are open to revising your guide based on our feedback or technical requirements.
Rules:
Minimal AI usage. We want your tested steps, not AI-generated instructions. You may use AI for proofreading, but nothing beyond that.
Do not copy paste tutorials from competitors.
You can reserve only one router/firmware and one protocol at the same time.
You have 12 days to complete the written guide + screen recording from the moment we approve your reservation.
Once we approve your reservation, you will get guidelines and our recommendations to get started.
Rewards:
500 EUR payout in Monero (XMR), per approved guide.
1 year Xeovo subscription for you or a friend.
Special status on Hub, if you have an account here. Optional.

VPN providers operating in Turkey will need to get a license from the official authority according to the new regulation. Providers who don't obtain a license will be banned.
The regulation aims to put VPN services under a transparency and security framework. Licensed VPN apps will be subject to regulatory oversight to ensure compliance.
This will probably cover all user data and activity. We're waiting for future information.

Isn't it obvious when the receiver inspects the packets what/where the source IP is?
If my endpoint's IP address is not included in the packets that exit the VPN tunnel, how then does that same node - or other nodes in case of multi hop - route the packets back to my endpoint? Are there perhaps VPN specific identifiers in the packet that only that node knows how to route back to me?
TL;DR Mullvad, Windscribe and IVPN are the only ones not spoofing your location.
“A large-scale analysis of 20 popular VPNs, IPinfo found that 17 of those VPNs exit traffic from different countries than they claim. Some claim 100+ countries, but many of them point to the same handful of physical data centers in the US or Europe.
That means the majority of VPN providers we analyzed don’t route your traffic via the countries they claim to, and they claim many more countries than they actually support.
Analyzing over 150,000 exit IPs across 137 possible exit countries, and comparing what providers claim to what IPinfo measures, shows that:
17 in 20 providers had traffic exiting in a different country. 38 countries were “virtual-only” in our dataset (claimed by at least one provider, but never observed as the actual traffic exit country for any provider we tested). We were only able to verify all provider announced locations for 3 providers out of the 20. Across ~150,000 VPN exit IPs tested, ProbeNet, our internet measurement platform, detected roughly 8,000 cases where widely-used IP datasets placed the server in the wrong country — sometimes thousands of kilometers off. This report walks through what we saw across VPN and IP data providers, provides a closer look at two particularly interesting countries, explores why measurement-based IP data matters if you care where your traffic really goes, and shares how we ran the investigation.”

They are slightly more expensive than some of the more well known VPNs but cheaper than Mullvad and claim to offer similar levels of privacy. Hoping to hear from somebody who has used them or has an active subscription.
Thanks.

I've been using Surfshark for years, but this month they've sent at least two push notifications to my phone that were purely marketing.
I don't pay to see adverts.
Are there any VPN providers people would recommend that don't let their marketing department off the leash to bother their customers?
In this perilous time of fascism/authoritarianism in the US I am concerned about government tech being used in the future to limit freedom of speech and restrict access to sources of info, potentially. What online tools that can help ensure access to websites, dissenting voices, etc., if and when a government attempts to block access, are available? Would a VPN be a viable solution? If not, why not, and what would be a better solution or combo of solutions? Thanks in advance.
