With TLS certificates being close to free, or free, it seems like a good direction to go. Sure, nobody loves dealing with certs, but short expires help in safeguarding critical infrastructure identities. Seems like an overall positive change.
Using a VPN for accessing your private, home or company network is the literal reason for which it was created and designed.
It's in the fucking name, virtual private network. I don't have to mention it like it's somehow tangential or some kind of secondary and unused function of the technology. It is it's literal primary focus.
I'm having a conversation with a literal child trying to explain to them the purpose of a network software that is self-evident in the fucking name of the software itself, and you have the balls to say that I'm insufferable? This community is fucking insufferable--filled to the brim with 12-year-olds that don't know their ass from their elbow and assert with absolutisms without reading or understanding anything at all. It quite literally brings bile to the recesses of my mouth.
Sweetheart, if you're going to participate in online communication you need to keep up. And you need to read the entire statement and not just cherry pick like what you're doing now. Not once did I ever say torrenting is illegal. I said very specifically an exactly that torrenting IP is illegal.
That's not a contestable statement. It's not an opinion. It's a literal fact. There's no politics here, where I say a statement that you disagree with and we agree to disagree. There's no version of this where what I've said is wrong and you're somehow correct. It's a wholly truthful statement from start to finish... And you're pretending like it's not by cherry picking the very first part of it and convincing yourself that I'm saying that torrenting by itself is illegal and I think you know at least on some basic level of intelligence that that is not at all what I have said, and it's concerning to me that maybe you don't even understand that you're doing it. It's truly sad and pathetic thing to see...
Why are you moving goalposts?
There are no goalposts. This isn't my opinion. It's an incontestable fact that stealing IP is illegal in 98% of every country on this planet. You can choose to live denial in some virtual fantasy where you pretend that this isn't true, but you can't change facts. Period.
MANY support it.
There is no VPN on this planet which "supports" theft of IP. There are providers which don't actively seek to ban users for doing so. Which is absolutely not the same and you pretending that it is, is disgusting behavior. Truly infantile.
Well then explain me why I would need a VPN in the year 2025 with encrypted connections and HSTS being the norm
To connect to a network, which is private and virtual. As the name suggests, this is the reason for which VPNs were invented and are still used today. Using VPNs for "privacy" is how they're popularized for anyone who doesn't actually know what they are and how they're used. Which clearly includes yourself. To believe that there's no legitimate use for VPNs outside of their layman's usage is so incredibly fucking insane.
If you're going to speak about something, do yourself a favor in the future and at least do a cursory Google search to find out what it is that you're speaking about first so you don't look like a total idiot. For fucks sake.
Mullvad didn’t remove port forwarding because people were torrenting too much they removed it because people were using it for real criminal activity
Regardless of your personal feelings on the matter, pirating IP is illegal. The statement you just made is unabashedly stupid beyond all measure. Everything you listed are crimes.
I have no idea why you’re mentioning legal versus illegal torrenting as laws differ everywhere
There are less than 5 countries on the planet where pirating IP isn't illegal. This isn't a "well, it's illegal in Arizona, but not in Idaho!" type of deal. It's essentially illegal in every sovereign country on the planet save for a few.
This community is so incredibly naive and stupid sometimes. I swear to God.
My Man, unless you buy all the bullshit that YouTubers claim VPNs do, the only reason to get one is to torrent
This is one of the top 10 dumbest statements I've ever seen on the internet and shows a total and complete lack of understanding what a VPN is, and what it does.
Yes, most VPNs will allow you to do that just fine.
There are currently 2-3 countries where torrenting IP isn't illegal. Unless you have a VPN in one of these countries, there are no conditions where its "allowed," because it's entirely illegal. Even if it's not expressly outlined in a services TOS it's still illegal, and therefore not allowed. Even if they expressly permit it, it's still illegal, and therefore not allowed.
I absolutely fucking beg you to use the brain you were given and stop embarrassing your parents who put time and energy into raising you.
Yeah but his blog is tits so we give him a pass. lol
This is correct. The binary is in a folder that is not in his path which is why he can't call the binary.
You're going to be very hard pressed in finding a VPN that supports torrenting. People abuse it. That's why mullvad pulled port forwarding support.
Additionally people misinterpret what they can do even if their VPN does support torrenting. It's still illegal to use their service to torrent anything other than legal torrents...which almost no one does, which is why VPN providers aren't lining up to show their support for the torrent network.
There are no services available to you that allow you indiscriminately to torrent illegal content. It's always illegal and against TOS to torrent someone elses IP.
Read the message its telling you... go install has no -u flag.

The new service includes a WiFi 7 router
I don't recommend it.
I would shoot for a 4 port 2.5Gbe unmanaged switch with 2 SFP+ ports (6 total ports) for 10G networking. 2.5Gbe is going to be more than enough for any WiFi solution you choose with room to upgrade 10G to WiFi if you wanted to spend a bit more on a higher tier WiFi router still leaving a single SFP+ port for 10G networking from your PC.
Biggest hit for your buck. Gonna set you back $40-50.
but if I ever wanted to get the max out of it, what does that take?
Kind of a lot. At least a top to bottom upgrade, from modem (PON), to 10G networking, to new Ethernet cables, to new 10G network drivers. Looking at a few hundred if you do it right. I also had Optimum's 8Gbps internet and was never able to even get anywhere near advertised speeds due to network saturation. IMO, the upgrade right now is too expensive to justify the expense for what you get. If you were confident you would be able to max out the connection, that would be a different story. But ultimately it's gonna be up to you. If you don't mind dropping a few hundred on upgrades, then go nuts.
Martin Luther King Jr’s accomplishments are nearly wiped out
Troglodyte. With 2 replies you've proven to be one of the most ignorant people I've ever experienced in almost 30 years online. You deserve a fuckin' award.
The multi-tennant approach to the linux operating system isn't just for security. It's the way the OS was designed to operate. You're not meant to use root as an ordinary user.
Disabling root removes the safety net, but it also plugs the security hole that leaving root enabled leaves.
The motherfucker helped create the MMR vaccine... I would say he did do something. If you'd like to see somebody that's not do anything at all, look in the mirror you feckless ignoramus...
I mean Jesus Christ man. I don't think I've seen a comment this lacking in intelligence in my entire life. It would be like if somebody went to Martin Luther King Jr and said "well what are you doing about it!?" after he said that he was upset at the status quo.
It's just an unbelievably ignorant and moronic statement to make.... I can't even fully wrap my head around it--how you put absolutely zero forethought into that statement before making it.
I picture you as someone who drowns in the rain because they have their mouth open while they look up. Jesus Christ.
Then, anyone in the world can verify your signed statement using your public key.
Of course. The only barrier is the possession of your public key. I really don't understand what you're getting at here. Anyone with your public key can verify a PSK signed statement you made, which obviously is predicated on them having access to the key.
Anyone only has access to your public key if you give them access to your public key. So no, not really. They should have access to it. It's not something you should keep private, but SSH shared keys aren't PGP shared keys. There's no key servers for SSH shared keys.
Again, they're not denying you entry permanently, but they absolutely can slow fuck you for weeks until your device is unlocked and checked. You people live in some little utopia that doesn't exist.
We just deported a US citizen to Argentina without due process and its taking a federal court order for the US government to do anything about it. You really think they care about your "right" to reenter the country?
This is marvelous, but goddamn do I hate cross compiling rust projects from source.
Reasoning skills and experience. There are entire botnets dedicated to finding servers with open SSH ports on 22. If the bots can connect, the IP of the server will be added to a list to be brute forced.
I'm a per diem linux systems administrator. Right now I have a VPS that I setup myself. It uses a non-standard ssh port, fail2ban, and rejects incoming connections to port 22. According to connection logs, I get about 200 attempts per 24 hours from bots randomly pinging ports to see if they can catch an open SSH port--and they're banned via fail2ban.
I checked out some other servers that I manage, which I did not setup and have no control over how they operate. Sifting through just 3 random servers and checking connection logs, they have a combined 435,000 connection attempts in the past 6 hours between the 3 of them. These are relatively small servers with an extremely small presence. Simple fact of the matter is, is that they all have port 22 open and reachable. So botnets attempt to brute force them.
So just anecdotally that's a difference of 0.0459770115% or 99.96%. Anyone telling you that changing the default SSH port doesn't do anything for security has absolutely no practical experience at all. It significantly reduces your attack surface as bots have to guess at ports until they find your SSHd's operational port to even begin to start sending attempts.
