    Step 1: rent a $5 VPS anywhere outside of us government control.

    Step 2: set up a multi-hop tunnel through said VPS using glutun and wireguard.

    You are now immune to this bullshit.

    Lmao

        avg comes with one. pita, sometimes it turns it on when i don’t want to use it. I used to mess around with it because I got avg because my phone kept getting hacked and I was like this thing comes with a vpn!!! whaaaaaaat but tbh I have no use for t so I don’t even use it.

        ngl though, if i went out of the country and needed to access paypal instead of using zelle, id use it, other than that, it’s annoying when i do a virus scan and it gets turned on after.

        They can be found for less than $20 a month. They’re on par with 1-2 streaming services you can drop.

      I know, a VPS is nothing and running wireguard in a docker container takes 3 minutes.

      You can build a psuedo VPN with as little as ssh + squid on a VPS. Tunnel your web traffic over ssh to a proxy on the VPS.
