As we observe National Aviation Day Tuesday – a tribute to Orville Wright’s birthday – let’s reflect on both America’s and NASA’s aviation heritage and share how we are pushing the boundaries of flight for the nation’s future. Modern NASA grew from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), an agency created by Congress in […]
A collaboration between NASA and the small business Aloft Sensing produced a new compact radar system that will enable researchers to leverage High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) platforms to observe dynamic Earth systems. This new radar is small, provides highly sensitive measurements, and doesn’t require GPS for positioning; eventually, it could be used on vehicles […]

Diffida pure di quelle che vengono sponsorizzate da streamer di ogni tipo e che offrono forti sconti tramite codici referral, perche anche lì, il prodotto sei tu (vendono i tuoi dati di navigazione nonostante dicano che vengono criptati).

in reply to Max - Poliverso 🇪🇺🇮🇹 • • •@max Consiglio Mullvad (è quella che utilizzo, esiste uno sconto per i pagamenti in bitcoin) o Proton (ti forniscono gia' una versione limitata con un account gratuito)
C'è anche Obscura VPN molto interessante ma al momento non abbiamo ancora una versione android.

Grazie per le risposte, preciso che non mi riferivo a prodotti gratuiti, sono ben conscio del fatto che se non pago in soldi è perché pago con qualcos'altro, e in questo caso senza neanche sapere "quanto" sto pagando.
È un po' che penso che due lirette in una VPN mi converrebbe spenderle.
E visto che siamo a parlarne (scusate, sono un po' ignorante) esistono soluzioni "self made" che uno può mettere in piedi da solo (tipo WordPress o un'istanza Mastodon) o è proprio un'altra partita?
Anche link sono benvenuti, così non perdete troppo tempo. Vorrei farmi un po' di cultura sulla materia.
AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor
in reply to Max - Poliverso 🇪🇺🇮🇹 • • •Il problema è che una soluzione "self-made" per quello che fa una vpn riguardo la tua privacy non esiste. Ovvero, esiste, ma elimina proprio la componente privacy. Potresti avere una vpn verso un tuo homeserver (o server virtuale sul cloud) e stabilire come punto di uscita verso internet, quel server. Ma a quel punto, il tuo IP diventa sempre identificabile perche è soltanto tuo.
Una vpn di aziende terze (proton, mullvad, ecc) ti offre una certa privacy perche il punto di uscita su internet è tuo e di altre persone ma per via di questo non può essere collegato a te e quindi diventa, di fatto, privato.
(C'è un discorso da fare riguardo i log della compagnia vpn, e dei metodi di pagamento, ecc, che si può anche affrontare).
