You mean France, Spain and United Kingdom

LineageOS sends connectivity checks, time adjustment requests and system webview (chromium by default and not easy to change) data to google servers as far as I know. Are you sure it doesn't send anything to google? On the other hand, there is an app Invizible Pro on FDroid, which is perfect to prevent such connections. Maybe you assume the user will install it?

The natives usually don't comply. And when they did, there are many different quotes from them stating they got a lot poorer. When they dont comply, they are massacared.

Sonalder explained it very well. I just want to emphasize that it's much more private than any other vpn because its impossible for Nym to keep logs.

I also want to add to his comment that it's like Tor network but adds noise to data and harder to deanonymize. As there aren't as many and as fast nodes as in Tor, it's slower. Here is the owners conversation with the Youtuber The Hated One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVtw-4Eox2E

Thank you for the informations. There were nothing in the foreground but tor was apparently running in the background. But I'm still not sure if these services were all due to Tor. I need to run another record I guess

Here is the past discussion: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/31505779

He sees through flesh and rock. He is straining on human kind.

so am i running a relay in the background although tor browser is closed?

I will try it, thank you :)

Thanks for the informations. This clarifies a lot.

Sorry, you are right. But what I meant was it is very hard to deanonymize and monitor users of NymVPN. Tor network can be however monitored by NSA although chances are small that you will be deanonymized. And unlike Tor, NymVPN can offer 5 relays, which makes the chances that nodes can collaborate to deanonymize you to almost zero. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can you please elaborate on dependencies part? How to analyze them and how to know which package does exactly what in a quick way? Does one need any coding knowledge? Thank you

Why don't you use a decentralized VPN like NymVPN? It's impossible for the company or anyone to take logs because your traffic is routed over several nodes. It's like Tor but also adds noise to data and harder to deanonymize

I have LineageOS installed on my phone. Without the app InviZible Pro from F-Droid, my phone connects to Google servers for connectivity checks, system webview and time adjustments. The disadvantage in terms of privacy of /e/OS would be the default presence of micro g, which is proprietary. In LineageOS it's not present by default.

i only have these over long term but brave was closed when recording:

No, it wasn't at the time of recording. It was a confirmation later on that tor and network manager were the only apps using the ports with brave opened.

Nym pays users to be a relay as far as I know. There are 5 relays or 2 relays with your preference (depends on the speed and security you want). Maybe they own some servers that I don't know but their encryption techniques are quite advanced. There are articles on their websites that they cannot log anything.

Well, not bad by supporting Italy there and in Greece during WW2. Today people see Germany a secure place for online privacy services like cloud and e-mail servers but I don't believe a piece in it. Germany is just a liberal capitalist country with one of the best special information services in Europe, that's all.

With all that money against leftists, leftists couldn't race head to head with the right wing in the USA. So I don't think they are against you either.

That makes sense but I have always related them with the USA leftists as they support LGBT, woke, Palestine supporters. Just one time Microsoft supported Israel for a very short period but other than that... But what you say wasn't something I considered. I will keep it in mind
