Russia starts blocking VPN at the protocol (WireGuard, OpenVPN) level

Reply in thread

I don't know why some moron downvoted you, but the answer is maybe. For reference, I have always bypassed SSH firewall blocking by sneaking SSH packets within https.

The only way this won't be possible is if the government enforces installing a certificate to use the internet, so that they can do a man-in-the-middle-attack. I heard this is already being done in Afghanistan.

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

The Linux community doesn't understand what "just works" really means.

Whether windows or mac, I plug my machine to the docking station, and it just works.

With Linux, every day a different problem. Out of the blue, screens just stop working. Resolutions change. Every restart different behavior. Zero consistency.

I'm not 17 anymore... I don't have the time to keep tweaking. I need to be productive.

So what do I do? I SSH to a Linux machine whose desktop environment I don't wanna see, and code remotely. Most productive setting.

You asked. Here's the answer.

How does a private torrent tracker associate the downloader with my account?

Reply in thread

This is the first time I ever hear of Usenet... read a little... but honestly sounds freakishly scary... torrents are anyway filled with malware... and now we have to trust a centralized source for files?

Do clients that use Usenet verify public torrent file hashes? How is security handled such that I know the files aren't infected compared to whatever the same torrent offers?
