Given their inherit latency, and cost; the equation for running everything via Wireguard is surly worth it.
- ranger_danger 8mo agoWireguard to where? Another ISP/VPN that can also sell/MITM your traffic just as well? Non-residential exit IPs are also very often blocked by many websites.
- ZiiS 8mo agoResidential ISPs are well setup for monitoring home traffic (and legally required to in most places). A VPS in a different jurisdiction is vastly less likely to be good at it.
- globalnode 8mo agohttps fixes that mostly - unless your talking about metadata
- kmbfjr 8mo agoIt is all metadata at this point. With statistical monitoring and sharing of netflow data, there is no anonymity on the internet. Entire businesses specialize in this; Nokia and Kentik.
- ZiiS 8mo agoYou occasionally get blocked, but not that often if you can putup with a few more captchas. Can't remember it ever being more then a minor inconvenience and well worth this cost.
- ranger_danger 8mo agoMy home internet is 5G, and many, many websites are blocked or have infinite captcha loops... even well-known sites. Etsy is blocked. Reddit/Discord/Locals is blocked. Archive.is only captcha loops. Even libera IRC is blocked. Trying to buy products online often gets the order flagged or canceled as a potential bot or VPN. IPs are rotated often so I unfortunately have to share bad-reputation IPs with people who keep the addresses on global blacklists like DroneBL that are used by many sites. Even 4chan blocks most of the IPs I get because other people post CP from there. Trying to use a VPS/cloud IP or well-known VPN provider, the experience for me is just as bad or worse. For some, the issue is a lot worse than you think.
- doubleg72 8mo agoThank cgnat
- sneak 8mo agoI already do this on my Starlink as well as my terrestrial residential cable modem. The GL.inet routers work great for this.
- expedition32 8mo agoI never understood the business case for Starlink. You're either on fiber or 5G.
- testing22321 8mo agoYou don’t even have to get very remote in Australia before the best on offer was dialup over copper before starlink. … now multiply that by all the remote regions of earth.
- whynotmaybe 8mo agoYou're not the target audience. In many places, 5G doesn't work and you have to pay a lot for fiber installation.
- deaux 8mo agoExactly. I don't get the business case for cars too, you're either in a train or on a subway.
- _blk 8mo agoTake your RV for an extended stay at the National Parks. RV parks are full of Starlinkers and I *love* the service. Roadtrips with kids are so much better too. The residential dish's in-motion performance is phenomenal and it's not even made for that.
- giant_loser 8mo agoSure, why not stay home if that is the case?
- doubleg72 8mo agoYes! Definitely gotta ensure those kids are consuming digital content at all times, especially on road trips or in nature.
- Saris 8mo agoThere are massive areas in the US not covered by 5G, or any cell service. Are you just assuming that coverage is 100% everywhere? Most places I'm at with 5G also have really poor speeds, usually under 10Mbps download with fairly high latency. Not really suitable for a primary internet connection.
