never given proton my personal info. just an email address.
but yeah, VPNs sound intimidating, especially if your only experience with them is from years and years ago when they were a probably a lot harder to set up.
Maybe, but it works, and it's a good toe-in-the-pond for beginners, plus they're the only ones I know of for whom "free" actually means free and not "free for 30 min.(or whatever) then we want you to pay for it."
well, when I started looking into the stuff the first time, it was hard to find websites that could explain it in a way that was straightforward and not jargon-heavy.
Also, keep in mind how many companies business model depends on being able to track everything about you across multiple websites, dmv records, etc. Then you get into the NSA scandals, etc, and you start to understand there's probably a lot of effort put into scaring newbies away from using any kind of vpn.
I agree it's not hard at all to set up these days, but I can understand why some people might hesitate, lol.
haven't messed with the cli, mostly I just use the android app, because with lineageOS and a vpn, I can get unlimited tethering, and my ISP doesn't know/do shit.
Telco's DNS services will block anything the government wants them to in practice, like torrent sites. Give OpenDNS a crack 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
I got a 3B+ and a 4B, that might be a fun project. I would be more interested in the DNS than the ad blocking cause I already got my ad's squared right away (I never see them(No script and Ublock origin))
Using the IP doesn't work, it's blocked at the IP level I presume. Yes I know a VPN would be a work around, it's more the principle they are doing this. I bet it won't be long before they are censoring 'vaccine misinformation' at the ISP level, China style.
Try getting normies to care about it though. They'll just say "hurr durr it's Russian propaganda anyways, good riddance" and move on to consuming their state approved news sources and Netflix shows. People generally don't care about censorship until it goes way too far.
Same happened when Youtube banned a bunch of prominent creators for racism or whatever. Most people didn't care one bit. People only started rebelling when they went completely overboard with their COVID censorship.
Yandex (Russian search engine) started giving me one and then two CAPTCHA about 6-9 months ago. I assumed they were getting attacks from western addresses.
Just as an indication of how bad it all really is: I was listening yesterday to Russell "Texas" Bentley interview from a few weeks back where he was complaining that RT was so cucked and subverted by liberals he couldn't stand to read it any more.
I mean, wow. He didn't elaborate but it put RT in a new light for me. I had been thinking, "Well, I suppose this content could be a little Russia-leaning without me being able to know any better." Now I've changed that bias to, "It's at least this bad, maybe a lot worse."
I asked a friend from Germany, and a guy from Albania if they could reach rt.com, and neither could. So at least over here it's some whole European censorship thing.
Why do you think that Russian news are somehow different in principle from Western news? They also made by ignorant servile maggots mostly of Jewish ancestry or heavy Jewish influence, leaded by Jews as in any other white country.
There exists a kind of what supposed to be the stream of events - TASS (ТАСС - Телеграфное Агенство Советского Союза or Telegraph Agency of Soviet Union) where you could sometimes find most events that was deemed "interesting" or "deserving to come public" by TPTB in as raw form as possible for today state of affairs in so called "journalism".
RT is noticeable for its hilarious segregation f.e. RT newsfeed in English is in huge part is completely different from RT newsfeed in Russian. It is not like same information served under different sauce, but it is different information. Largest difference I saw during coronahoax, when RT even published some articles with views and opinions that was alternative to mainstream narrative in English, but kept them hidden and pushed the same mainstream narrative in Russian. So, they will sometimes publish things that was suppressed in Western MSM, but only in English. In Russian they push current agenda with Russian specific.
Of course in Russian MSM you will find some bits of information that could be missed in Western ones and vice versa, so it is sane to track them, but don't expect to find some outstanding revelations of final truth here.
There can't be good, reliable MSM news. Nor Western, nor Russian, not Chineese, nor whatever. MSM serve those who have money and power and it is not different across the globe.
Learn to extract facts from modern information flow and analyse them by yourself. You don''t need some "journalist" "opinion" to get what is happening.
As for me I use Russian MSM, just like Western MSM only as source of statements of government officials and other reptiloids to get what shit they plan do with us tomorrow.
I actually like that some people follow me just to down vote me.
A fan base of people who hate me can be as good as a fan base that loves me.
Would be fun to psycho-analyze why anyone would dedicate themselves to ritually and consistently down voting me. Should each comment stand by itself or should you "shoot the messenger" because of dislike of a person. Then you are not focusing on the information at hand but the person speaking it? Or have I been discredited in someone's mind? How so

Openvpn.
Works, until it doesn't.

Some of us don't mind being found.

All I know is they keep my isp from blocking tethering, lmao

nah I get it. VPNs sound intimidating, especially if you're only a casual internet user.
Hell, I'm a techgeek, and I was nervous about setting one up for a while, lol.

Many countries have blocked RT. You need to copy pasta their links to archive, and you can still see and post their links this way.
It's probably DNS.

Salute !
It's antisemitic to oppose their censorship.
Which ISP and what country are you connecting from? Blocked in the UK with Sky ISP here.
UK here too
On one hand, sorry to hear that, on the other hand, it's always nice to find another normie "locally".
So is the US unfortunately. North Korea is probably a bastion of free speech and democracy for all we're allowed to know.

Change ur DNS servers
Yandex (Russian search engine) started giving me one and then two CAPTCHA about 6-9 months ago. I assumed they were getting attacks from western addresses.
My work blocks RT and Rumble over their wifi, I don't get a warning or anything it just doesn't load.
I know the UK banned it other countries did it too?
Most of Europe i think
it works fine here in belgium, I think the channel is gone from TV though.
Which ISP ?
Can you switch your DNS servers on your router?

a) substitute access is suggested by "proxy"...
b) it ain't your "internet service protocol" if you're blocked from using it.
c) maybe the "learned elders of fibre" use protocols to inconvenience those who consent to be in servitude within their internal net...

RT is not good anyways. There are much better Russian news sources easily found with a quick Yandex search
Where's that CrazyRussian guy? He should know.
comes on shift in a few hours.
u/CrazyRussian you coming to work today or not?
We need some good, reliable Russian news sources and a bottle of top shelf vodka
