Just reread this #safing #spn blog entry: https://safing.io/blog/2022/09/06/spn-vs-vpns/

I've been using SPN pretty much exclusively for two months now and my only regret is that I did not start earlier. Using #Quad9 as my DNS server, blocking big tech, watching telemetry pings thanks to #Portmaster ...simply cannot recommend this enough.

Thank you: @safing @raphty @dhaavi

@iUseLinuxBtw @fatboy The GUI does take forever and a day. Their beta testing VPN is sleeker but the CLI works the best.

Although just found #Portmaster from #safing and think I am leaving regular VPNs altogether. It's been two weeks now with Portmaster and I think I am getting the hang of it - not that it requires that much time but it is different.

@thelinuxEXP I have been watching your vids on #TILvids. Ran across your #SPN sponsonr- #portmaster w/ #safing. So cool! Had no idea what SPNs were until that video and checked it out. Merci mille!

@tilvids

Anyone have opinions on having ads/tracker blocking on three layers simultaneously? Privacy conscious browser with settings fine tuned + a VPN with ads/tracker blocking features + Safing firewall with its ad/tracker filters.

Seems to me, that slows down navigation and may be overly redundant.

#Safing #Portmaster is a great #FOSS tool to limit network activity of programs and websites. It can even block #Google #Amazon #Meta #Microsoft and #Apple domains completely. And it also protects against #Malware and #Phishing attacks.

Ok so against my better judgement I decided to go and grab the #SPN for a month. (#Safing) So I went from about 300Mbps down to 1-5Mbps

Technically its faster than the tor network. Its def not faster than any #VPN out there including multihop vpns.

I'm not quite sure what am I doing wrong. It also nuked the latency.

I thought it would be a nice learning opportunity for the oddities of the internet.

Happy New Year! I get to play with a new #systems76 laptop! now with #safing SVP and the long road to tweaking it to sweet perfection.
