ProtonVPN has it, and Wireguard support.

ProtonVPN has it though, which is what I’m using now.

I host a server, I forward the port, my friends can connect to the open port on the VPN side.

My ISP does not offer port forwarding.

No port forwarding really kills the utility though - I mainly use the VPN to do port forwarding (e.g. for video games, Plex, etc.) as my ISP is shit.

Like I’m not worried about state-level de-anonymisation, I just want to be able to share services remotely and have a minimum level of anonymity.

American culture warriors have decided that their ideology is more important - you see this a lot where their ideology’s goal becomes the “greater cause” worth sacrificing the mission: e.g. in journalism.

To bully those who don’t share their American liberal politics.

This is crazy guilt by association.

Only CVE-2024-31083 is relevant for non-remote server use-cases.

Because now you can just use Linux or BSD. That wasn’t the case when Linux was developed.

So it only really makes sense for special cases - like Huawei’s new OS for phones (they cannot use Android), or Google’s attempt at a new kernel for Android too (they want to escape the GPL).

They should really mandate open firmware and bootloaders, and even spec sheets, etc. for deprecated hardware.

Mullvad was already forced to stop port forwarding though.

It sucks as my shitty ISP doesn’t allow port forwarding, so I literally used it for hosting video games.

They blocked Github before - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50232902

So it’s not surprising.

It’s gonna be rough when they come for the VPNs like Italy has though.

People created fake photoshop images long before AI…

What is the Mastodon Lemmy.world equivalent? Like a big, neutral server with minimal censorship and bullshit, and access to most other servers?

He’s winning against the gangs though - every Salvadorean I know supports him.

More that you’d never need to provide it, but many transactions will also require 2FA, even by the credit card.

Spain and the UK have no real digital ID (Spain has some horrible Java certificate based system, but you can’t use it for much). I think Germany’s digital ID is in a similar position too although it’s been many years since I lived there now.

The UK is in the same position as the US with no national ID or residence registration at all.

Only the Netherlands, Finland and Scandinavia really have it sorted out for banking and government services.

Yeah, my ex was scammed this way too - exactly like Cory describes, they happened to ring right as she was going through the whole visa and tax process and pretend to be regarding the IRS, etc. and since she was dealing with a lot of similar calls it was an easy mistake to make.

More services available online and e-mail communication makes this a bit better.

It kind of is the norm.

Just a few countries like the US are really backward in terms of accessible banking - mainly due to having no federal ID, residence registration, etc. too on top of outdated bureaucracy.
