   Thank you, I wrote "with the client", but I meant "with the server". Your description cleared some misunderstandings I had.

   Sorry, I must be missing something obvious so please let me know, but VPNs are literally MITM: they terminate your encrypted connection with the client and stablish a new connection with the outside world from their end. So doesn't mat

   I've heard numerous times about how everything inside Google is so tightly coupled to their infrastructure that making it work outside is extremely difficult.

   Nonsense. Besides each recommendation there's the three dots. Tap it and choose "not interested" or "don't recommend channel".

   Start with `docker` and learn the basics concepts: difference between image and container, layers, etc. Copy a Python `Dockerfile` and see that it works. After a while you'll get the hang of it and will be able to know what to google a

    I guess it's somewhat easier if the product is good enough (Envato features it) and the developer cares more about developing than marketing it.

    BugMeNot only works for low-profile websites. Anything huge like instagram has protections against sharing accounts. (i.e: they'll block your account until you verify your phone number, friends, etc).
