So, recently got freetube downloaded, and love every bit of it. But I still forget myself, and put youtube into the url bar… So, is it possible to redirect Yt to Freetube instead?...
Interesting, I was hesitating about this. So if I register a domain and use it for reverse proxy with ssl and all. At no point does it traffic to the registrar or other part?
I am really not familiar with how domains work behind the scene, so apologies if its a dumb question.
I am fully aware of what vpn services to use and not. I am not using Express VPN, I am simply doing research for a master thesis, when I came across these results from Express VPN. If you have any ideas or corrections, please let me know why a VPN provider would need to have access to these permissions....
Hahah thats me! :P (lemmy is a small world) My main focus is most likely going to be free vpn’s and the risk of using them. I have to limit the scope quite a bit and want to cover areas that are not that well properly documented… yet…
But thanks for the tips! I will defo read up on it and see wheter or not I can have a “alternatives” section towards the end.
ExpressVPN is owned by Kape Technologies, which was previously named Crossrider. And Crossrider was a plugin development platform that allowed users to distribute ad injection software, which some considered malware. (Kape did not respond to a request for comment.) Kape also previously operated software called Reimage, which is said to enhance computer performance but has been reported to signal false positives on its security tests in order to sell its premium service. Teddy Sagi, the owner of Kape Technologies, was listed in the Panama Papers as a sole shareholder of at least 16 offshore companies—primarily real estate—established through Mossack Fonseca, according to Haaretz. In 1996, 16 years before he acquired Kape Technologies, Sagi was sentenced to nine months in prison for bribery and fraud, according to the Financial Times.
I used to hink RestorePrivacy was good, but they’re shilling NordVPN and these other ‘famous’ VPNs too, also with affiliate links, so no longer trust them. Also from what I’ve read previously their authours dont seemt to take critique very well…
although a good mentality, its not always correct. Also, this isn’t just about “asking”, it’s fighting big corps/tech to be more transparent about their policies.
Well, the more negative feedback they get the more they will rethink it. Just like what happened to Googles proposed “Web Integrity” API recently. It recived a huge negative backlash and in return they dropped the idea, for now…
But if you’re asking if “blatent and transparent” polices are better than the ones that are not, then the answer to that is a big fat YES ofcourse they are. I personally have had enough of google and microsoft so im staying away from their serivces as much as I possible can.
