Me using an ad blocker on my computer is in no way equivalent to me reposting that content, and trying to claim it is causes me to lose respect for the person who holds that opinion. I get the tragedy of the commons, but far as I'm con

I would volunteer my time to that program. What really bothers me is that nobody outside of our bubble will take this seriously until someone hacks in and downloads a copy of the database and posts it online for all to see. Only then will m

I'm sorry but I just can't sympathize. Imagine a newspaper trying to go after someone for not reading the ads in the news paper, or for cutting the ads out before reading the paper. That's what you sound like to the rest of u

It's not like GA is the only way to gather statistics, there are other vendors and even the access logs for your server itself. I'm not willing to let Google follow me everywhere on the internet and if that is detrimental to the s

That's why I don't wonder why this hasn't been adopted yet. I dont know what the target demographic for the feature is but it really doesn't seem like it was intended for public WiFi hotspots, instead maybe it was for co

Android also has an AlwaysOnVPN option which I understand also mitigates this. The VPN simply won't connect if there is a portal because non VPN connections (eg to the portal) are forbidden, and the device won't allow any network

I'm using android. The VPN can drop out when I change networks, but it reconnects in less than a single second under good conditions, and that's not an exaggeration. I use a plain ipsec xauth VPN. Having tried both ipsec with l2tp

Filtering in this way does provide a significant speed hit if you choose to use your home router but nothing is stopping you from using a VPS instead. For me the primary concern is privacy and security and using the always on VPN is the bes

I humbly submit you haven't seen an environment that was high security. There's two general ways to treat Internet traffic, whitelisting and blacklisting. Many companies will simply use blacklists. These are easy to bypass as you
