Yeah, if I make malware and gave it away, and someone later incorporates it to do harm, am I liable?



You'll be liable for something. Same way as selling someone an illegally modified firearm gets you in poo poo if it's found out you sold it after they used it to shoot up a 7-11.

where do you fall on the spectrum between convenience and security? a provider like privateinternetaccess isn't very secure, but it's easy to set up. on the other hand, something like algo will require you to spin up a vps somewhere (or host it on your home network). here's that list of vpn services with a single shared secret: https://gist.github.com/kennwhite/1f3bc4d889b02b35d8aa

i guess im actually interested in both answers, im happy to spin up a vps somewhere and route traffic through it, but i was curious whether there were relatively trustworthy services whose focus is "vpn with decent bandwidth" vs. "linux box you can do whatever you want with" and not necessarily great bandwidth to the latter

convenience would be nice for my parents, specifically my mom, who wants to watch history channel/whatever videos through those apps on ios while she and my dad are out of the country, hence the "america-based"

for my own uses i lean much more toward security and i dont care as much about convenience, and i suppose i dont care much about where the service is hosted

i've always been a fan of spinning up a vpn on a vps somewhere. your poo poo will be monitored after the fact but at least it isn't the vpn company itself (also cheaper)

any recommendations for an american-based vpn provider? dont care too much about protocol but windows, linux, and ios support would be nice (so openvpn would work, for example)

it also works with edgerouter at the router level apparently... ive been dying to try it but dont want my girlfriend yelling at me for bringing down the internet all afternoon

algo is pretty nice but
- the strongswan network-manager applet for linux doesnt support split tunnelling so it breaks connectivity to your lan
- if you use pppoe or something then you might have to gently caress with your mtu to get it to work properly

openvpn otoh works fine and is pretty easy to set up

i have noticed this but didn't know why it was. that part is a pain in the rear end

He was given a 12 hour posting ban, thanks to the slap fight he's having with that Texas lawyer/bigot.
