Tor is free too, and it is distributed enough that a single node won't rat you out to your local gov.
Even if you are setting up your own VPN, I recommend installing your own tor infrastructure instead. It is simply stronger than a VPN.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoNo, it is not stronger or better for purposes of accessing blocked websites. Internet accessed through TOR is much-unusable due to low speeds and endless captchas.
- derefr 4y agoThe goal is not to access blocked websites; the goal is to access blocked websites without the government knowing you did so.
- kadoban 4y agoIf that is your goal, tor by itself is unlikely to be enough. I don't recall base tor having any effective protection against "government is watching my pipe and I need it to not be possible to tell I'm using tor". I say "base tor" because I recall some work towards tunneling tor through other traffic to hide that it's happening, but as far as I know tor doesn't do that by default.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoHow is it better for this than VPN with an exit point outside of your government's reach?
- ranger_danger 4y agoThe problem is you have absolutely no idea how many of those nodes may be compromised by a state-level actor.
