How do you find seeders of rare content?

You could turn off the DHCP server on your router and let your server handle it. You can then tell your clients to use Pi hole via the DHCP running on your server

Who says the ISP isn’t blocking ports via a firewall?

I thought it was common practice for ISPs to block certain ports for residential connections?

A lot of platforms strip out the meta data. All social media platforms and all messengers I’ve tried strip out the meta data. There might be some that don’t?

Does the meta get stripped locally or on their servers though? I suspect locally.

Your OS doesn’t matter when picking a VPN provider.

Others have mentioned plenty of good options.

Nice. I use Mullvad DNS for the same purpose.

They seem to have many different endpoints depending on what you want to block, which is customizable only down to the type of content. Ads, trackers, malware, adult content, gambling, social media.

If I understand it properly, they have 64 different endpoints for their DNS. But I’m not sure if all of these are publicly facing or if you have to be connected via their VPN service for all of them to be accessible.

Can you customise it down to the domain?

How much battery do you think this consumes? I’ve always thought an always on VPN set up but never tried it as I assumed it would drain the battery too quickly.

Not a single mention in the article about whether Bluetooth is turned on or off.

Samsung has an opt in option for the Smart thing network. I guess Google will go the same route.

It’s all speculation at the moment.

I think you got the response we all expected you’d get.

I wonder why we don’t hear about open source anti-virus even though I think there are a couple of them out there.

Mine are about that price too. Maybe it’s just luck.

There are some free tier serverless options and such. I’ve never had a play as I’ve always feared getting a 50k bill without realising it.

Interesting. Is it a free VPS or something? Your VPS provider most likely isn’t the same company that owns the datacenter.

My VPSs are in different parts of the world and they’re in datacenters owned by different companies. My VPSs are not expensive either.

They don’t block datacenters, they specifically block publicly available VPNs. It’s not just Reddit that does this.

I have a few VPSs. I can connect to them with Wireguard and browse Reddit and the other VPN blocking services without an issue.

You’re replying to the wrong person. I added some info over the difference between your comment and someone else’s acktually comment.

I don’t care either way; an approximation in MiB and MB is the same difference to me. The other person and yourself have got into a debate about nothing in my opinion.

24 kibibytes. I dislike the annoying difference between kiB and kB, etc, etc as I also think in kB and MB as the binary values because that’s how I was taught for many years.

Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?

That’s an oxymoron. Creditors have the ability to lock you out of a device you haven’t paid for yet. Standard terms and conditions in B2C and B2B; you don’t own it until you’ve paid for it in full.

Also locking you out of a device you don’t own yet is cheaper than taking you to court.

What happened to the messages in their Discord?

Clearly you didn’t read my comment… Did you read the first thing I said and went full on blind rage or something? Read it again for the insight

Why do you care if people know what Android device you’re using? To me this is a non-issue.

Social media and messaging apps strip meta data when you share media, so for the most part no one can see the information you care about. It’s only when you start sharing content via services like OneDrive where people will be able to see the meta data.
