'site blocking legislation' to me means forcing ISPs to update their DNS to redirect/block known piracy websites from resolving. What else does the legislation do wrt VPNs?

The legislation differs from the current legislation in that the current legislation allows them to block websites that are directly involved in the provision of pirate materials, e.g. The Pirate Bay, and IsoHunt, wheras the new legislation allows them to order ISPs to block websites that are INDIRECTLY involved in the provision of pirate material. Like VPN services, for instance.

A website isn't a VPN though. I don't understand. Do you mean the website that the VPN service uses to sell you the VPN will be blocked?

Should have moved into my old place, there were maybe up to a dozen hooks scattered all over the place seemingly randomly. Of course when we moved out they said "what's up with all these hooks, we never said you could put these in" and I just pointed out that you can clearly see on the hooks remnants of the old paint job and they shut up.

Hit the firewall a few times in China so far, basically if I had it set up before entering it works fine but many devices I've set up with the VPN app inside have been hit and miss if they can make the initial connection to login. I'd assume though they wouldn't be doing anything more involved than blocking the IP addresses as they currently do so maybe Google DNS will be able to bypass it anyway?

The website is only needed to obtain the service. After that you're good to go. Unless I've misunderstood something about this proposed law. Regarding China/other services trying to block VPNs like Netflix/Hulu; my understanding is that it's a game of cat and mouse where the bad actor bans known IP addresses that VPN services pipe their data through, then the VPN service adds new IPs to get around it, rinse and repeat.

Running through the hotel wifi I was able to watch Netflix and use Google search for the first night without a VPN however the next morning it wouldn't work at all. So the solution I've found is IPVanish app but the only way I could get the initial login was to tether to my phone with VPN on and do the first login that way then I could jump into hotel wifi and tunnel out. Western hotel chain so maybe they have a little more leeway? Like you said seems to be a bit of cat and mouse.

Forgive my relative ignorance on the subject; but isn’t the point of the changes labor pushed to the encryption bill that companies couldn’t be forced to do anything that would amount to a systemic vulnerability? ie they can be forced to help break into a specific persons communications but they can’t be forced to do anything that would introduce a vulnerability into the system as a whole? And would that not basically create a situation where Apple or whatnot just says ‘whelp sorry there’s nothing we can do’

And would that not basically create a situation where Apple or whatnot just says ‘whelp sorry there’s nothing we can do’ This and similar stuff keeps popping up, so I'll try to explain it to the best of my (limited) ability. 1) When a cryptographic system is described as secure, this means that there is no way for anyone to feasibly* read the encrypted data without the key. 2) Any subsystem which allows the creator of the cryptosystem (or someone designated by them) to read the encrypyted data without the key is "a backdoor". 3) When a cryptosystem has a backdoor, the system is not secure because the data can feasibly (even easily!) be read without the key**. So The addition of a backdoor, by definition, introduces a vulnerability into the system as a whole because now someone (anyone with access to the backdoor) can feasibly (easily, even) read the encrypted data without the key. It is, by definition, impossible for a secure system to contain a backdoor. It is also, by definition, impossible to have a system which is both secure and which "a specific persons communications can be accessed" without the key, because that necessitates the existence of a backdoor. So either the law does nothing at all, or it does the incredibly scary thing because the people who think they've watered it down have no loving idea what they're talking about. I guarantee it'll be the latter. ...and it shouldn't matter which side of politics you're on here, because if you somehow think it's OK because your side is the one doing it, you're saying "I trust all future governments not to gently caress this up, abuse it, or both" and also "I am absolutely positive that no bad actor outside the government will ever get their hands on this" and fuckin lol in both cases, for a while you could get into someone else's vicroads data by changing the customer number in the browser's address bar, and the government response was to send the cops to arrest the guy that reported it to them. *ie, with current technology, there is no way for anyone to read the encrypted data in a timeframe where it would matter. So something that is known to be able to be cracked, but the crack will take 500+ years with existing computers counts as "secure". Something that could be cracked in a minute or two if only you had a computer the size of the universe counts as secure. ** That the somebody who wants to read the encrypted data without the key promises not to do so unless they think it's important is entirely irrelevant. Uh, I mean, if you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to hide. Elector_Nerdlingen fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Dec 5, 2018 |

I completely agree with you that backdoors are bad and should not be legally mandated; but my interpretation of what the act is doing leans towards the ‘the law does nothing’ approach. If a company cannot be mandated to put a vulnerability into their product then the law is fairly useless. My thinking is that rather than attempt to compromise the encryption itself; the law will rather be used to plant malware of some kind onto specific devices; thus compromising a device not a service.

Do we have figures on the numbers of informal votes in the Vic election? I was looking at one of the districts and it seemed pretty big. I'd be interested to see if it's trending up or down - I think there were some changes to the way you could fill in a ballot this time, but I don't remember if that was last election or not
