  • I’m a big privacy nerd too but I still keep up with the news.

    One thing I’ve noticed not using TikTok, etc. is that people will flat out tell me things that are objectively false: this goes for both liberals and conservatives. I block fake news and disinformation so many times links to those websites will just return DNS resolution errors.

    The privacy stuff does get tiring sometimes. People try to link me to Google-owned platforms that I have blocked. I tunnel my end devices to a VPS in my country, then I use ECMP routing between three tunnels routing through different countries. Those three are access through yet another double-hop VPN with both hops in-country to lower suspicion of foreign-bound traffic from my VPS.

    There are some tasks that are impossible to achieve without bypassing the VPN though.

    In the end though, I feel my internet experience is extremely “clean” compared to others’. I don’t deal with ads, tracking, bad privacy laws, cookies, etc. Both my ISP and cellular company only see encrypted data and that’s it.
