I'm really interested in this VPN hysteria that's going on lately, that it will steal privacy and stuff.
Some time ago, because of security compromise, my company issued an security training, and we were with top-edge security professionals talking about what to do, or not. And one of the points, that I was surprised to learn, is that all of the experts were saying that VPN is ineffective and unnecessary. It creates the illusion of safety. But it's a business model. -

Wireguard is desiged to be easy, but easy comes minor risks.
>By default, WireGuard stores your IP address on a VPN server until it reboots
For most people this is no issue, in countries like China, Iran, Russia and a few others, it can be an issue. see:

RE: https://mastodon.thenewoil.org/@thenewoil/115971195227745876
Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”
A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.
Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.
And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw

All VPNs stopped working now, I managed to find one for a smartphone but I need one much more for my ancient 12 years old laptop on windows 8.1, but all vpn clients I found requires win 10 minimum. Is there any client that will work with 8.1? Openvpn used to work fine until this morning but not anymore. Also I'm from Russia, yeah 🤕 I'll be grateful for any helpful tips, but I'm no tech/it fella at all

Privacy Watch: Michigan Bill Seeks to Ban VPNs & Online Content — Why Americans Must Take Action Now
Protecting Digital Freedom Is on the Line
On September 11, Michigan Republican representatives introduced a controversial piece of legislation known as the Anticorruption of Public Morals Act. If passed, this bill would not only ban adult content online but also outlaw VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) — a critical tool millions of Americans use to safeguard privacy, protect identities, and access a free and open internet.
The legislation, supported by six representatives, goes further than past bills in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi by demanding internet service providers block VPNs entirely, with penalties reaching up to $500,000. This isn’t just about adult content. It’s about setting a precedent that could strip away digital freedoms for every resident in Michigan — and possibly other states if similar bills follow.
Why This Matters to Every American
VPNs aren’t just for bypassing filters. They protect sensitive information on public Wi-Fi, prevent ISPs from tracking your browsing habits, and allow businesses to secure remote work. Blocking them puts everyday people, families, and businesses at risk.
What’s most alarming is how broad this law is. It doesn’t just target adult material — it includes AI-generated content, depictions of transgender individuals, and virtually any tool designed to bypass government-mandated internet restrictions. That means the freedom to learn, connect, and express yourself online could be silenced by political overreach.
A Call to Action
The Anticorruption of Public Morals Act has not yet passed committee or reached the Michigan Senate floor. But as CNET reports, bills like this can serve as templates for other states. If Americans remain silent, these proposals could quickly spread nationwide.
📢 What you can do now:
Stay informed by following updates from organizations like the ACLU and EFF.
Contact your representatives and make your voice heard.
Support digital rights advocacy groups working to preserve internet freedom.
Share information to ensure your friends, family, and community understand what’s at stake.
This isn’t just about Michigan — it’s about whether Americans will allow elected officials to dictate what we can or cannot do online. The time to act is now.
