Back in my day you needed a 9/11 to trick people into giving up civil liberties.
ISPs can't even spy on your TLS traffic without breaking your internet.
Obscura VPN users unaffected.
Free civilizations cannot exist without privacy.
Every Cloudflare outage makes me wonder:
Can we develop an open-source, local Cloudflare?
Modern tooling/packet bypasses like XDP and BPF surely lower the barrier-to-entry to meaningful DDoS protection significantly.
😲 Ubiquiti just made a Flipper Zero for SFP modules!
You can tell I had a lot of fun chatting with @ente.io's CEO Vishnu 😊
Fighters for digital privacy, unite!
User data is toxic waste.
Companies that don't treat it as such are ngmi.
🎉 BIG NEWS: Obscura is now on iOS!
Obscura engineering team remains undefeated, even against the goliath that is App Store Review and In-App Purchases.
We'll do a blog post about this someday, so folks can learn from our battle scars!
Anyone know of folks that have worked with the Android `VpnService` API?
iOS Obscura folks: We're trying our very best but the incompetence of Apple App Review is just staggering.

British lawmakers are buying their VPN subs with taxpayer money… and telling the same taxpayers not to use VPNs.
You cannot make this shit up.
Don't know enough to have a good opinion unfortunately 😅 (mostly used Guix as a package manager rather than an OS)
I'd guess there's much more flexibility by being able to fully program using Guile instead of systemd's ini-style files!
I am a systemd lover and I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE
“We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place.”

An open and private internet is more important than ever.
That's what we fight for at @obscura.net

James Dyson just made hair being stuck in Vacuums a thing of the past.
Nobody is as obsessed with building the best Vacuum as James Dyson.
Nobody is as obsessed with building the best VPN as our team at Obscura.

I knew there was something familiar about the American Megatrends BIOS logo... Skynet had ring-0 access the whole time!
My origin story 🐉
So Gemini on Android is about to forcefully get access to your WhatsApp + Messages, regardless if you've previously turned it off?
And they want to dress it up like they're helping you?
Please tell me I'm misunderstanding something here...
In the digital age, our de-facto privacy rights in the physical world are being stripped away.
Even worse - surveillance mechanisms are being set up.
As people wake up to this, privacy-by-default will become table-stakes for digital products.
