I'll have to read up on that. But to be honest, the web3 / blockchain vibes are an instant turn off. (Let's see how the votes turn out for this comment. ;) ) Note: If you _need_ a blockchain in your VPN, I would say https:&#

Yes, the primary focus is connectivity within the network. You can use it for pretty much anything you would use a VPN for, but it is much easier to configure and secure by default with a built-in firewall. Only services you actively expose

I was intrigued by Yggdrasil, so much that I built a similar network, also using concepts of other networks in that realm. It uses a logical world map for improved address space allocation and routing as well as source routing. Private non-

It seems possible the timing attack could have been (mostly) outside the Tor network: They seemingly knew the guys Ricochet username, which includes the Tor hidden service ID. Then, they ordered the ISP to monitor connections to Tor entry

There are reports that posts and comments that contain direct links to fediverse resources are now shown in Threads et al. I guess they are just out for more content for their users without breaking their perception within the matrix. Sorry

I feel you, but, sadly, I came to the conclusion that this war is lost. If I speak to an audience I want them to understand exactly what I mean. So, I only use "cryptography" and "cryptocurrency" explicitly.
