Why not both?

Nice suggestion, I hope they take it into account

It is suggested by youtuber the hated one. The owner is anarchist and he has developed mixnet to prevent surveillance. Mixnet is very hard to track (with 5nodes) and adds random traffic to prevent ai analysis

Then I need a tool to remove Microslop Defender safely too

Still, I wouldn’t trust it

During that time you will have stock Android on your phone, which is Google, such an evil company. You can’t be sure that you won’t get any virus

If it’s not preinstalled, I’m not buying it because there is a risk of injecting a virus along with its installation

Except that they distracted the world from Epstein files

Use Qubes OS. Do not update anything including Tor browser and the OS. Just install the new version as soon as it is released on Qubes OS website. Otherwise you will probably get a virus. I know this from experience, please take this into account

Here is the past discussion: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/31505779

He sees through flesh and rock. He is straining on human kind.

Nym pays users to be a relay as far as I know. There are 5 relays or 2 relays with your preference (depends on the speed and security you want). Maybe they own some servers that I don’t know but their encryption techniques are quite advanced. There are articles on their websites that they cannot log anything.

Sorry, you are right. But what I meant was it is very hard to deanonymize and monitor users of NymVPN. Tor network can be however monitored by NSA although chances are small that you will be deanonymized. And unlike Tor, NymVPN can offer 5 relays, which makes the chances that nodes can collaborate to deanonymize you to almost zero. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Why don’t you use a decentralized VPN like NymVPN? It’s impossible for the company or anyone to take logs because your traffic is routed over several nodes. It’s like Tor but a decentralized one.

Can you please elaborate on dependencies part? How to analyze them and how to know which package does exactly what in a quick way? Does one need any coding knowledge? Thank you

I have LineageOS installed on my phone. Without the app InviZible Pro from F-Droid, my phone connects to Google servers for connectivity checks, system webview and time adjustments. The disadvantage in terms of privacy of /e/OS would be the default presence of micro g, which is proprietary. In LineageOS it’s not present by default.

Sonalder explained it very well. I just want to emphasize that it’s much more private than any other vpn because its impossible for Nym to keep logs.

I also want to add to his comment that it’s like Tor network but a decentralized one. As there aren’t as many and as fast nodes as in Tor, it’s slower. Here is the owners conversation with the Youtuber The Hated One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVtw-4Eox2E

LineageOS sends connectivity checks, time adjustment requests and system webview (chromium by default and not easy to change) data to google servers as far as I know. Are you sure it doesn’t send anything to google? On the other hand, there is an app Invizible Pro on FDroid, which is perfect to prevent such connections. Maybe you assume the user will install it?

I will try it, thank you :)

No, it wasn’t at the time of recording. It was a confirmation later on that tor and network manager were the only apps using the ports with brave opened.
