Oddbean new post about | logout
 Damn good point… i didn’t even think to tell new users like hey you are connecting your IP to non business entity random anonymous people …. That’s a super important protection piece that needs to be shouted from the rooftop. I mean, that’s intuitive now that I’m thinking it but lol none of my friends run VPNs from their phone. nostr:note1nqtyfcgz2ytv50xra37rmh06ur9wm3l6s0xp3t2qzl6n0j546sdspkh87r 
 Surfshark has been my best friend for a while 
 But isn't a VPN basically a tunnel to another public IP address? Eventually somebody still has our IP no matter what basically it just depends on who you want to have it... At least that's how it seems to me. I'm no expert so just giving my impression of the situation as I understand it 
 Oh no you’re absolutely correct… it’s still a central point of failure ☺️ 

Eventually, transparency becomes the easiest way to stay alive 
 That’s one of the things that concerns me. People might think they’re anonymous here when they’re not. 
 Yes, I think that’s a valid concern.
