#njalla — Public Fediverse posts

just throwing my 2 cents into the #vpn choices and based on what i've looked at in the last few days.
(yes i'm moving away from #mullvad not in a cutting off my nose to spite my face sort of way)

i've looked at the following and i've decided not to go with : #ivpn, #windscribe

i also avoided #kagi (incidentally also partnered with ws with discounts) which has AI , based in US and a paid model that I suspect I'll still be the product even though I paid. Either way, i've tested the free search and I don't find it life changing great.

the ones that made the 'okay' list was : #njalla, #xeovo, #riseup, #airvpn

i wasn't able to find (easily) a list of server locations with #njalla,

njalla, riseup and xeovo needed some sort of tech knowledge to get started, and its not ideal as i needed to get this for the household and mobiles.

only airvpn was one of the remaining that may had dubious twitter past. but it was the only choice left that had the server location i needed, so this was where i eventually land. mind, airvpn requires you to register with an account, so if you are worried about this, it's not for you. i don't use them for anonymity.

tbh, if xeovo had locations and native app setup, i will jump on it. right now it just felt like a compromise.

@prosaluxemburg #Njalla is owned by an anti-fascist. #Mullvad is 50% owned by a fascist.

Does that help?

Proton und Mullvad stehen politisch in der Kritik. Wer deshalb eine Alternative sucht, landet schnell im VPN-Marketing-Sumpf.

Wir haben uns fünf Anbieter angeschaut, die auf Affiliate-Programme verzichten: IVPN, Njalla, Riseup, Windscribe und Xeovo.

Kein Audit, sondern ein Praxistest: Kosten, Apps, Tracker, Leaks, Kill-Switch und Alltagstauglichkeit. 👇

@Tamtam @tael i just tested several of those "frequentable" #VPN providers.

#njalla is IMHO, at least to me, my best choice. My speedtests show consistent higher speeds, and i dont see any security downsides to it.

Updates:
1. It should be noted that #njalla basically gives you a #wireguard config. At this stage I can't see any option to swap locations, block ads, allow LAN bypass, ... Unless you can manage it yourself via Wireguard config.

2. #NymVPN is slightly slower (even in fast mode) but very interesting as well. Only that for now, despite providing the option, I can't use LAN bypass (on #Grapheneos ). I have opened a ticket for investigation.

Então, do nada, me vi no centro do conflito privacidade/anonimato versus segurança/rastreabilidade.

Meus domínios são registrados no #Njalla, simplesmente porque gosto da ideia de não ter que dar informação nenhuma, nem email, para comprar algo. Um desses domínios uso como email. E ele foi colocado em uma blocklist pela Spamhaus e fabelsources. Por isso, a #locaweb está bloqueando todos e-mails vindo do meu domínio.

Não tem nada errado. Nenhum abuso, uso inadequado, nada. O único motivo pelo qual eu ter entrado em blocklists é ter registrado meu domínio em um registrador que tem o anonimato e privacidade como premissas.

Agora me resta tentar provar que não sou um guri maldoso. E muita chance de simplesmente se negarem a me retirar das blocklists…

Good news! Looks like @njalla silently added support for credit cards. 🥳💸
Their website started listing it on November 29.

Was going to ditch them before my next renewals because I refuse to use Bullshit Coins or PayPal, the worst of all payment companies.

@lobo @njalla

Thanks! I didn't think to check #BGP.... I checked #DNS, and thought my ISP was doing filtering/blachlisting as traceroute just dropped off in their core.

But not advertising routes would certainly explain things.

I wish #njalla was more transparent/informative about outages.

Hey @njalla are the #OpenVPN #vpn servers not working?
I can't hit it any of the three endpoints on my normal ports (80, 443, 1194).

Is it me with #Spectrum/#Charter doing some blocking? Or is it #Njalla?

Hello,

TL;DR: *.invidious.io down temporarily

During our move to a new uptime checker, a change was made to the invidious.io DNS...

This worked... except our provider's ( @njalla #njalla ) name servers fucked up and haven't pushed anything (other than a deletion of the existing entries).... meaning all our DNS just disappeared from the internet (except for the rare DNS that cache)...

I already opened a support ticket with them...

Don't worry though... we're still alive!

Apparently all .tv domains registered through Sarek Oy (sarek.fi; or #Njalla, which uses them) are currently disabled by the .tv registry (turnon.tv / godaddy). No details are known and domain owners were not notified. This affects a few piracy sites, but also any other unrelated .tv domains, unfortunately including my jomo.tv domain. Piracy related .tv domains using a different registrar are not affected.

And of course, just as I finished working around my #njalla VPS being dead for 4 hours, they silently fixed it.

However at this point, I'm not quite sure it's worth sticking with nja.la since I have now done the work to setup the replacement on OVH, who I hear is also safe from bogus DMCAs and is at 1/3 the cost.

If I can get a floating IP to work in OVH, I might close down my njalla server.

Ok, so I've looked at several options for domain registration, and while I hear that #Njalla is pretty good, I don't want to end up paying too much money due to exchange rates between USD and Euros if it gets too bad as I don't have a whole lot of money and I may want to eventually possibly set up my own #PeerTube instance, and #Porkbun is apparently nice to use but they're using #Cloudflare for DNS now, and also apparently...

#GoogleDomains (just for discoverability, as I intend to switch)

Fun Fact for people that wanna know it, domain transfers to @njalla are usually 5-7 hours max, but if you have a slow registrar like webnic.cc its taking forever. #Njalla #Goodjob

Its getting stupid that so many domain registrars are taking ages to move one domain from A to B. Its nothing more than sharing a file over peer to peer right? SO why the fuck do i wait 3 days for a simple domain registrar switch. ARGH, i have stuff to do you know.. #Stupid #Domain #Registrars #ICANN #njalla #webnic #waiting #work

@bojkotiMalbona

I found this post of you very informative, thank you!

It seems #Porkbun is migrating to #Cloudflare DNS. Find more info here:

#Njalla still seems like a good alternative though.

Do you maybe have any other recommendations for privacy-respecting DNS providers? On the long run, I want to use it for emails (other provider is ok) and static web hosting (which is not really a criterion anymore by modern standards).
