Doubt it violates anything - the packets may route through a US based relay, but they’re encrypted when they do, and don’t expose any data.
The very nature of the internet makes it impossible to guarantee that none of your packets ever route through a specific country (especially one as connected as the US).
- donohoe 5y agoI didn’t say it violates it - it does not. I meant that most consent systems that companies add to their site to determine if a user is in EU or not (and hence covered by GDPR) won’t work reliable with Apple users. Most of their geolocation relies on IP addresses.
- djrogers 5y agoI was replying to my posts parent who brought up the word violate, not your post.
- netr0ute 5y ago> makes it impossible to guarantee that none of your packets ever route through a specific country Technically untrue, since you can add "strict source routing" as an IP packet option that specifies exactly where it will be routed.
- djrogers 5y agoNope, you can’t actually do that on the internet at large. Yes, the RFC exists, but your ISP and their upstream will often ignore or even drop those packets. Also, SSR doesn’t involve geography - IPs and ASNs can move.
