  • cow@lemmy.worldtoPrivacy@lemmy.ml•What VPN do you use to hide traffic from your ISP?

    I don’t. Your ISP can hardly see anything you do online. Almost all websites are encrypted with HTTPS and if you are concerned about them seeing what domains you visit you can just change your dns server to quad9 or something else privacy respecting. A more valid usecase for VPN is preventing websites from tracking you IP address, downloading “Linux ISO’s” or bypassing geographical blocks and for that I used mullvad but I am looking for something else now that they blocked port forwarding.

    I rarely use the containers. Instead I prefer to seperate activities with different versions of firefox. I use Firefox ESR for normal browsing, Firefox for VPN browsing and Firefox Dev/Chromium for school. I also use a different color scheme on each firefox so I do not confuse them.

  • cow@lemmy.worldtoPrivacy@lemmy.ml•Do you trust Brave company and their products: Browser, Search, VPN, etc..?

    Not really. I used it for ~2 years but after a conversation on irc 5 months ago I switched back to Firefox and I have been mostly using it ever since. Search I trust slightly more and the VPN I dont really trust at all. Also it is better to support firefox and other smaller browser engines so chromium does not have a monopoly on web browser engines. Now that I don’t use mobile as much and I don’t really care about syncing I am happy with firefox. I originally started using brave because I used an iPad a lot and brave was the only free ios browser with ad block back then. The history with injecting referrals into urls and all the crypto crap makes me not trust it much anymore.

  • cow@lemmy.worldOPtohomelab@lemmy.ml•Getting a static IP at home?

    Ok so yesterday I had a static IP installed from ziply with business internet. I have not gotten a chance to test it yet (longer story below).

    Ok so when they installed the static ip it went well until I had to setup the static ip on my eero router. I think I have been paying for 100/100 this whole time but it was not working because my house had a 15 year old fiber box. That was all replaced with a fiber running into the network room going to the ONT which has an ethernet that connects to the router. When I tried to set up the static ip it just bricked my eero and it would not connect to the internet. When I factory reset it it would not get past the setup screen even when I connected behind another router with a dhcp server. The internet technician tried for 3 hours to debug the eero and I tried for a few more hours. Today I just got a new Asus router system and it has been working well so far though I regret not documenting the port forwards required for each server and service better. I only have 2 routers now but I get full 300/300 speed inside the house and 100/100 outside on the edge of our property. I bought it with the best buy promotion where if you trade in your old broken router you get 15% off of a new one.
