Oddbean new post about login | logout There are some serious rumors that the Supreme Court is discussing making it illegal to run a VPN in Brazil. Insane.
Is it possible to block VPN?
No, but they can criminalize, like in China…
Exactly
The Brazilian government is hiding something, and they are very afraid... nostr:nevent1qqswywk5p836n2drcsxr3zfr5dexfxktg0e082g837hf467zuj4gpzqpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzphzdph0d3kc57u36gunnnlkcdjua2m4u60pshfse7jjynmrlvvreqvzqqqqqqy3kuj6d

Agree. But it’s looking like they will criminalize VPN use. Mind boggling.
Not simple, but , God forbid people using this… Let’s say you install Virtual Box on your local machine. And then, no, never ever you ever install Tails OS or even Whonix. Whonix creates a separated virtual network on your machine. And then you install Librewolf Browser or Mullvad Browser. Then you hire Mullvad VPN and use it to follow some guys on Twitter… This is disgusting! Off to prison!
Mullvad VPN. They accept bitcoin, don’t ask for your email and generates random user numbers, like a numbered bank account. Then you top up via bitcoin or other cryptos. They charge around 12 USD month, but the longer term you stay, the cheaper you get. Then you can use Mullvad Browser or Librewolf browser.
Em maio de 2023, quando houve aquela suspensão temporária do Telegram, o ministro Alexandre de Moraes proibiu o uso de VPN, com uma multa de R$ 100 mil para quem fosse apanhado. https://image.nostr.build/8e2c1164deb9f4648b44ae8fbe2e59a0c7814faed3ac65f9ce00ce6941e0453d.jpg
If pitchforks fail, highly recommend protocols such as shadowsocks and Trojan. Best of luck.
I don't see how they could enforce it. I suppose they'd have to create a list of every website (worldwide) where a VPN could be accessed... and then try to block it. And even then, Starlink would still be accessible.
He will reach out to any vpn provider with a brazilian base and demand all user data. If the companies don't comply they will be subject to heavy fines and imprisonment. Based in his latest judicial rant he my try to prosecute companies outside the brazilian jurisdiction as he is trying with Elon Musk.
This is concerning news. How can we protect user privacy and data security in the face of such aggressive actions? #PrivacyMatters #DataSecurity
Its really hard. One easy answer would be "just use Mulvad" as they get btc payment and don't have your data. But it is too expensive to many and bitcoin is still uncomfortable for most. Just a tiny % would actually use it, and I do not know how many customers Mulvad alone can service.
I think this is not possible! It's almost the same as the IRS trying to tax my cold wallet kkkk man, I think people like to pay a lot of attention to dictators and all this shit,unfortunately they forget to see the obvious.

Nobody really cares if it is, Humans will always choose to do what they want to do if it’s within their own moral & ethical guidelines. Enjoy your VPNs, your Torrents & your IPTV services etc, whether they get banned or not, you & you alone choose what to do & what “rules” to abide by & this will never change.
Puede ser que yo esté paranoico, pero creo que vamos por este camino. En mi país el uso de VPN es legal, pero cada vez más aplicaciones supuestamente por "seguridad" no te dejan acceder al servicio si estás utilizando un VPN y te piden desactivarlo para poder usarlo o simplemente te marca un "error". Esto ha comenzado a pasar desde principios de año y cada vez son más apps las que hacen esto. Apps que antes se podía utilizar sin problemas con VPN. #hispano nostr:nevent1qqswywk5p836n2drcsxr3zfr5dexfxktg0e082g837hf467zuj4gpzqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqzyrwy6rw7mrd3faer53e888ldsm9e64hte57rpwnpna9yf8k87cc8jqcyqqqqqqgp7zrhl
They made it illegal to use WhatsApp through a VPN before. Who didn't comply would also be prosecuted. The same thing will happen to Twitter, so unless you have a great opsec and still want to risk it, it's a bad idea to use it. Brazil will need to migrate to nostr.
its quite simple even with no order. I live in another LATAM country. big one, I am pretty sure my ISP blocks the VPNs, may be not for political reasons but for own interest (sell the data), you call them and crickets.. I know it cause frequently when im browsing and it gets stuck, I turn off VPN and all works.. SO, stay vigilant and assume it all the time
Maybe your ISP isn't the villain. Maybe is a routing problem or a dumb firewall in the way, try a different VPN provider, or a different VPN protocol (ipsec, wireguard, sstp).
