          Yeah! How dare people object to the symbols of their ideology being coopted by the very forces their ideology opposes. Do you hear yourself? 🙄

            I hear what I say and “how dare they be offended” is not what I said lol. It’s just funny to me that you would be an anarcho-communist in 2024 and be offended by a stupid symbol being used, that’s what I mean (almost like you never learned any lessons from the history, including the disaster of the results of communist movements)

            (Now, google what AmneziaVPN is. It’s a free and open source project to help people circumvent censorship in Russia, by using their own VPN server. It’s not a commercial company, it’s an anti-goverment project. Lol. The anarchist “A” means “we are fighting oppressing goverment”.

            Are you opposing the anti-goverment movement in Russia? Well, that makes sense that you would like to oppose it actually, because the current goverment is a debris of the communist tyranny…)

    It’s pretty new, I’d give it a few years before trusting it.

    If I’m self hosting it, then I’ll just setup wireguard.

    Well, they forked wireguard go… I say their seriousness will depend on:

    • how well they maintain their fork
    • whether or not they continue to offer their self-hosted tier

    I’ve been burned too many times by startups who gathered up some initial money from investors and then went all corpo once the money dried up.

    Looks like my telegram dealer has opened up a VPN provider startup, very weird aesthetics. Can’t say anything about the product though, I guess it’s good to have more competition in the market?

    Amnezia is interesting. It is definitely better than just self-hosting a vanilla WireGuard/OpenVPN, because of the obfustation options they provide (XRAY Reality, Cloak etc.) Although, personally I would prefer to simply setup any of the protocols myself than rely on Amnezia or Outline or whatever else. For non-tech savy users this might be a great option though.

    Maybe I’m just being dumb and can’t find it but…its a massive red flag for a VPN not to have a privacy policy.
