CSS wouldn’t be used to spy on your network traffic; if they wanted your internet data, they’d have much simpler methods to collect it than CSS (and they wouldn’t be able to decode most of that data anyways in normal cases).

or who I am accessing it from

What do you mean by that?

Suggesting that a VPN could mitigate stuff relating to CSS is like wearing a floating vest 24/7 when flying in a Boeing plane: you might feel a bit safer with it on, but it’d probably be smarter to have a parachute instead.

A VPN won’t really do anything against CSS/IMSI catchers.

Menthols maybe? And that it’s harder for people of a lower socioeconomic status to quit smoking? Otherwise, no idea.

All those services block IPVanish and Proton. They want my data not my money.

How do you come to that conclusion from their blocking of commercial VPNs? Sure, of course they want your telemetry as well, but it’s mainly due to the copyright owners/distribution agreements.

In many places its illegal to not accept cash.

Where? I can’t think of many places where that’d be true.

Buying pirated DVDs is one example I assume?

Why would you ever want to rename the file though? The extra tags are useful, eg for when searching matching subtitles or remembering quality without needing to check ffprobe.

Aha, I think I misunderstood your situation then? I assumed you’re running these routing rules on your client machine, so you’re able to access your ssh server without it going over the VPN – not that your server is running a VPN active that blocks external connections…?

But if I didn’t misunderstand, I’d mean the (assumingly static) ssh server’s IP.

If you’re looking for more improvements, I’d recommend using a non-default SSH port and to include the destination IP in the rules.

It’s a public static IP, no one else is on it except for me :)

Do they actually do that in the majority of cases, or just a few to scare people? Germany is really weird on IP law…

admitting that they might need to if they were forced to. That is extremely reasonable.

It’s not though? The reasonable result would be to simply shut down in that jurisdiction.

You can comply with the law whilst not having anything to provide the law. Such as Mullvad does.

You mean they got a shock letter that says “pay us, or we’ll take you to court”? Just throw that junk mail away.

My ISP uses CGNAT but I have a public static IP from them. 10+ years of heavy usage and not a single letter.

I love jq, but the rest doesn’t appeal too much to me – I’ve been in the game for so long, so I already memorize most useful flows in the normal corelibs. And because I won’t always have the alternative to install different stuff, I try to not depend on lots of non-standard software. But I’m glad you like it, FOSS is awesome.

As far as I can see, feddit has always had exploding-heads defedded? https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=feddit.de

The same applies to the testicles.

And yet Europe seemingly has less child predators than the US.
