What the padlock, DNSSEC and a VPN each do and do not protect, on one page: https://t.co/7xSID3735E

[Le VPN @LeVPN]

A padlock proves who controlled a domain's DNS when the certificate was issued, not who you are talking to. The .gh, .sl and .as hijackers controlled the registry above that DNS, so the CAs issued valid Google certificates by the rules. Certificate Transparency caught them.

Google can put your name and profile photo in ads next to a review you left. The switch is in your Google Account under People & sharing, then Manage shared endorsements, untick the box. It only governs ads, so your public reviews stay public where you posted them.

Some smart TVs and game consoles cannot run a VPN app. Le VPN's HybridVPN/SmartDNS option handles location-based unblocking at the DNS level instead, and DNS set on the router applies to every device at home. One account covers up to 10 devices connected at the same time.

Turkey's blocks follow a pattern. A platform goes dark during a crisis, VPN demand jumps, then the VPN apps get blocked too. By December 2023 the government had blocked about 30 VPN services, including some of the most popular ones. Our page has the dated record.

Obfuscation and a fresh server address are not interchangeable fixes. A disguise does nothing against an address list, and a new address does nothing against a handshake signature. We sorted 12 documented VPN blocking methods by what each one actually looks at.

Why a leaked fingerprint is worse than a leaked password. https://t.co/CVJzVU61ml

[Le VPN @LeVPN]

A stolen password can be reset. A stolen fingerprint cannot. Biometric data has to be stored somewhere, and if that database is breached the fallout is much worse than a leaked password. Before swapping passwords for a fingerprint or iris scan, ask where that data is kept.
