Encrypt all the things!

MX Toolbox or what's my DNS should work for that

Ex-Mozilla CTO: US border cops demanded I unlock my phone, laptop at SF airport – and I'm an American citizen

Any thoughts on how usable these tools are outside the Google universe

Not sure I'd buy google's specific one though

I have a key and 2FA set up. Not sure whether this is different and, if so, how. It doesn't really seem to explain what the benefits of it are.

Facebook "unintentionally" uploaded the email contacts of more than 1.5 million users without asking permission to do so, the social network has admitted.
The data harvesting happened via a system used to verify the identity of new members,
Facebook asked new users to supply the password for their email account, and took a copy of their contacts.

Annoyed as I was low 200k

I'm annoyed now I might now be in the millions... Billions... Fuck sakes.

I'm about 200k, although it did seem to have booted me at one point so maybe check again.

Forced restart and You were right! Back in!

Mate tried it, it didn't work properly with his shitty connections so he ditched it.

I tried it for about 2min then went back to my NetGuard setup.

It doesn't work at work for some reason.

How's everyone getting on?

Still around 400k (more or less same as when I installed 1.1.1.1 two weeks ago)..

Somethings strange is going on in the neighbourhood. NordVPN is showing signs of something weird.

Interesting times ahead for travellers to the US. My return trips to New Orleans and New York now moved way down my list of places to travel to. I wonder if any other countries will take this route also?

I’m running PIA app on my android phone.

Saw netguard mentioned above so downloaded the app as it looked interesting and I haven’t rooted my phone yet.

Netguard uses a vpn it seems so when I activate netguard my PIA stops and vice versa.
Why is netguard using a vpn if it’s just allowing or denying app web access?
With PIA off and netguard on is my web traffic going via a vpn?
Is there a way to run both PIA and netguard?
DuckDuckGo-ing suggests android only supports one vpn so its one or other

So far as I understand it (I don't use netguard but I assume it's similar to others) Netguard works by blocking/allowing specific hosts, apps, etc

In order to do that it has to route all the traffic from your phone through it and it does this on android by pretending to be a VPN so android will route all of the connections through it. It's an entirely local thing though so doesn't actually work like a VPN in encrypting your traffic.

At the moment you've got to choose between one or the other. Android doesn't support two.
