The terrible irony of a for-profit company using the Anarchist A. I hate it.
Absolutely right
It’s only disgusting if you are an unironic anacho-communist
Yeah! How dare people object to the symbols of their ideology being coopted by the very forces their ideology opposes. Do you hear yourself? 🙄
I hear what I say and “how dare they be offended” is not what I said lol. It’s just funny to me that you would be an anarcho-communist in 2024 and be offended by a stupid symbol being used, that’s what I mean (almost like you never learned any lessons from the history, including the disaster of the results of communist movements)
(Now, google what AmneziaVPN is. It’s a free and open source project to help people circumvent censorship in Russia, by using their own VPN server. It’s not a commercial company, it’s an anti-goverment project. Lol. The anarchist “A” means “we are fighting oppressing goverment”.
Are you opposing the anti-goverment movement in Russia? Well, that makes sense that you would like to oppose it actually, because the current goverment is a debris of the communist tyranny…)
disgusting is not the world, maybe more without sense
I don’t understand what you mean by this but ok
Whats with the Anarchist A? Is it anything more than reduce its meaning into an aesthetic?
Looks like it’s a for profit company so take a guess…
Damn…
Can’t remember
It’s pretty new, I’d give it a few years before trusting it.
If I’m self hosting it, then I’ll just setup wireguard.
4 years is pretty new? How much time should pass by for it to become trustable?
10, imo.
What’s their MO?
New entrant into already saturated market?
They forgot.
Well, they forked wireguard go… I say their seriousness will depend on:
- how well they maintain their fork
- whether or not they continue to offer their self-hosted tier
I’ve been burned too many times by startups who gathered up some initial money from investors and then went all corpo once the money dried up.
Looks like my telegram dealer has opened up a VPN provider startup, very weird aesthetics. Can’t say anything about the product though, I guess it’s good to have more competition in the market?
Amnezia is interesting. It is definitely better than just self-hosting a vanilla WireGuard/OpenVPN, because of the obfustation options they provide (XRAY Reality, Cloak etc.) Although, personally I would prefer to simply setup any of the protocols myself than rely on Amnezia or Outline or whatever else. For non-tech savy users this might be a great option though.
The service seems kind of generic, maybe even worse than the other generic VPN services. No statements about what they log, whether they allow p2p, no mention of port forwarding, servers in only 5 countries which you may/may not want to VPN through, etc.
Not sure about the software, I guess they think it will be an improvement over OpenVPN/WireGuard which is debatable.
No statements about what they log
It’s on their main page bruh:
If you use the AmneziaVPN app for a self-hosted VPN, we do not collect any data about you or your server.
If you connect to our services, such as Amnezia Free and Amnezia Premium, we collect only the data necessary for the VPN to function.
Maybe I’m just being dumb and can’t find it but…its a massive red flag for a VPN not to have a privacy policy.
Looks like they
- collect “depersonalized” data
- they use hidden pixels for tracking
- allow advertisers to gather info such as your IP address
That’s a major red flag for a VPN
So they share “depersonalized” data with advertisers.
They user hidden pixels to track you on their website.
And they allow advertisers to collect your IP address to send you personalized ads.
looks good on paper. idk what’s behind it
