Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.

Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.

Through constant packet sizes, random background traffic and data pattern distortion we are taking the first step in our battle against sophisticated traffic analysis.

I can tell you that this exists way before AI, I wish that there was more awareness earlier but it’s good that now its starting

No port forwarding really kills the utility though - I mainly use the VPN to do port forwarding (e.g. for video games, Plex, etc.) as my ISP is shit.

Like I’m not worried about state-level de-anonymisation, I just want to be able to share services remotely and have a minimum level of anonymity.

How does port forwarding help with videogames?

I host a server, I forward the port, my friends can connect to the open port on the VPN side.

My ISP does not offer port forwarding.

Zerotier could also work for you

I swear the defense against the dark arts teacher just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

The Chinese Great Firewall (GFW) has already been using machine learning to detect “illegal” traffics. The arms race is moving towards the Cyberpunk world where AIs are battling against an AI firewall.

Windscribe had something similar already? Not exactly this, but they had a feature to add other random traffic to your network specifically to work against systems like these.

How about defense against dhcp option 121 changing the routing table and decloaking all VPN traffic even with your kill switch on? They got a plan for that yet? Just found this today.

I doubt it would matter in some environments at all.

As an example a pc managed by a domain controller that can modify firewall rules and dhcp/dns options via group policy. At that point firewall rules can be modified.

I use Mullvad really good, love how they don’t care who you are and can actually maintain complete anonymity even in payment.

Propably going to be banned soon for some stupid reason if gets popular, like free speech is allowing the terrorists make bears cry or something.

I love these guys. Let’s see if somebody can just bootstrap the FOSS framework directly on TCP to work on the internet without a VPN. Fantastic project

Err… Like… a 2009 Java applet? Those were built straight on TCP. And the lack of security let anyone else in the same LAN cafe steal your password.

The closest thing I can think of that goes for the vibe you’re talking about is I2P
