Oddbean new post about login | logout Bummer. Been using em for years but it pretty much makes it impossible to operate so I end up shutting it off most of the time. I tried to use their browser as well but it wasn’t compatible with several apps for work. I need to re-up on all things opsec. Recommendations?
We will be posting more on VPNs in the future, but keep in mind that this is more of a philosophical argument than saying Mullvad is unsafe. If anything, my point is that a lot of these VPNs are commodities, routing to the same data centers, with the same protocols. And not only is Mullvad okay, but all of the ones mentioned are as well. It’s just branding, and… customer service.
Read a lot of your stuff. It’s a steep learning/implementation curve even for someone who has some low level tech chops. Some constructive feedback from my many years of building custom homes. Folks don’t want to know how the house is built. They just want to know what color it is. I realize the thoroughness lends itself to credibility among the alpha geeks but most can’t afford to spend 40+ hours to deploy everything you’re throwing down. How can someone who like me that spends 60 hrs running a company just hand someone like you a pile of SATs to create a turnkey solution for my level of security/privacy requirements and ensure it’s always ahead of the curve?
Sure, we can mail you: 1) DeGoogled phone completely setup, and recommend a carrier depending on your country 2) Linux laptop/desktop, based on your responses to some questions 3) Potentially: A router/firewall flashed with open source software And then get on a call with you for an hour and show you how to use it. The goal is to make the learning curve really easy, and if you ever have a problem, we’re just a text/call away. If you’re interested reach out. Nostr DMs, Session, SimpleX, Signal
