Oddbean new post about login | logout Lol, Brazilians are heavily searching for "VPN" right now according to Google. One does love to see it: https://m.primal.net/KXYI.png
Here is the nostr search globally. Interesting really. nostr:note1pxl2zf8xvyvsk4ac697dp36eypzyj2hq3u7n7v2txh6sp47nk9lsp4fvv8
Wow, china community looks strong 🫢😍
Meet the Streisand effect
Brazilian government is teaching Brazilians the importance of using VPN and descentralized social medias. They are learning too fast. Nice
I lived through the 2014 (I think) ban of WhatsApp here in Brazil and I gotta say I'm having a deja-vu with this VPN thing, same happened back then 🤣🤣
And NOSTR searches are up too! https://primal.net/e/note19plyr2t7yyx7z9av03nfugf3rfpy4nhmtt37rkfjld723ept6gzsw5htw5
Proton FTW
We Brazilians used to be so glad of our democracy (despite all the issues we have) that now the feeling is just of humiliation.

Love to see it. I decided to finally look into vpns myself.
What's the Streisand effect? nostr:nevent1qqspsemsx7csazvrh2u5p2kufx8jjxvr2mn3s0u78gwfcssuuuarykcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyr4tpe6k6v4cp0x5vneas39cqspsxp66z04tcdve5a3vntr6hy057qcyqqqqqqgpzhwpr
Nice!
I'm able to exit a VPN in Brazil and still access X
DC IP transit is way different than ISPs
yes. i have a DC network in a couple colos
They probably wouldn't. But then they say, what's that thing they don't want me to use it? Now I'm going to use it even harder
Brazilian Gov't: We're blocking your acces to X, and if you use a VPN to circumvent the block, we'll fine you. Brazilian Normies: Wait, what's a VPN?!
They should be searching for "Nostr"
i'm not setting a vpn for now, but one way or another.. https://m.primal.net/KXba.jpg
Quick! Someone take out a Brazilian targeted google ad for Nostr using the search term “VPN”
Using and recommending Proton for every mate in the battleground. 🫡🚬🐍🇧🇷
I've been using it and it's free on mobile. ISPs can easily see who is on a VPN though if not on a public WiFi where each device is unknown.
Some VPN's have deep packet inspection resistance features, those are much harder to detect, might be a great choice for Brazilians
Freedom will find away
the cool part is you can fund it with a little zappy zap. what a time to be alive
Hope they find Mullvad, accepts BTC and no personal id info
Yeah #mullvad is one I'd trust Also #IVPN #PIA and #Nord Some people are suggesting #TOR but #Twitter has never accepted incoming tor connections in the #musk era.
X does function when using Orbot
So it does work on #Android. That's really interesting. I get this: https://image.nostr.build/929c2feed5cd72f82424ae05df5d379fee864ef31279f1766418c1c002e90547.png
I trying using with TOR a few weeks ago and it worked fine
What we really need is someone inside #brazil to try it, but I can't with good conscience ask them to taka risk I can't quantify
Well I didn't try it raw today but I did connected to a VPN server in Brazil, it seemed to work okay, my VPN however has some alternative routing features for circumvention, so I'm still not very sure
And the main city for VPN searches is the capital Brasilia
That's the country's capital, the irony 🤣
The should google nostr
The Streisand effect.

Streisand! https://m.primal.net/KXjk.png
What's tricky is that any activity in a profile under a person's real name will very quickly give away that said person is still accessing their account and likely doing so using a VPN. Only way around that I can think of is to use a VPN ans start a new anon account using a ProtonMail email account so nothing is easily traced back to one's identity. But I am guessing most people will not be doing this.
You're damn right. Most people will just migrate to meta's thread tho. Which is super convenient and understandable.
This IS good, but Google knowing indicates other potential problems in my opinion. Still good to see. Progress. nostr:note1rpnhqda3p6yc8w4egz4dcjv09yvcx4h8rqleuwsun3ppeee6xfds4hs26v
Just beautiful
I wonder why 🤣🤣
This is good.
They say we will be charged 50k reais a day if we use VPN to access X https://image.nostr.build/f77ca437e13ce53f27a0aeba4717cdcb59e85adf2b84ae74cea8a4a43bc50679.jpg
Well good luck for them 🤣
Most of them probably hadn't heard of VPNs before, and the announcement may have made them aware of their existence for the first time, unwittingly informing them.
And when they find you out, they go after your bank account, and voila, Bitcoin adoption spike. Feels like this will be the path in many places.
Please, don’t let America and Europe fall. The feeling is gut wrenching!
small acts of revolución. perhaps something larger is needed.
Try to search “Nostr” brazilian friends
