@ptievgaleks@Alex_Fairfax06 WG tunnels out of Russia are completely blocked by the government-mandated deep packet inspection (TSPU) at the ISP level, what are you talking about? Obfuscated WG forks like AmneziaWG work somewhat, but they're unreliable and incompatible with vanilla WireGuard.
@helloitschrisg@Alex_Fairfax06 The point is to stop *most* people from using it, not you specifically. And measures like these absolutely do work (see the case of Russia)
>you believe 99% don't know how to sideload
I would argue the number is around 99.99% lol, sideloading on iOS is notoriously bad
@helloitschrisg@Alex_Fairfax06 This is exactly what they did in Russia btw, you simply can't download VPN apps (including some generic clients people use for work VPNs) with an App Store region set to Russia.
@helloitschrisg@Alex_Fairfax06 On iOS for ~99% of the people? Yeah, pretty much, and it's enough to make the process hard enough for most people. Android and PC are obviously a different story, but the barrier to entry raises significantly.
@Alex_Fairfax06 Russia is actually a perfect example of how a government can make using VPN a completely miserable experience. Never underestimate your enemies. I'm pretty sure the UK is more than capable of implementing similar measures
@Alex_Fairfax06 Also DAITA is not censorship circumvention, it does nothing against invasive DPI like the one implemented in Russia. WireGuard is trivially fingerprintable and is completely blocked there. Almost none of the "normal" VPN providers work here really.
@rekdt sounds reasonable, someone should probably do it. start over, a simple kernel, minimal userspace, a simple GUI on top of that. i don't think that a computer at an airport check-in counter should be running a full-blown windows installation.
@BrianRoemmele whatever, they recently found like 50x more plastic in glass bottles. i think we're screwed either way. just drink less of this slop i guess
