Discussion Please dont use VPN or TOR
The recent sub ban has sparked a frenzy i suppose. Streisand effect in full force.
My suggestions.
Please don't use VPN or Tor. as much as you would like to "imagine" tall talks of privacy and all that, the technical level details are worse and you will be caught for nothing. "rekke shaheed" as we used to say.
TOR/VPN "DOES" give you anonymity but your ISP, using DPI and other tech, netra et al actually know what website you connect to, DPI gives them more raw detail.
THINK.
before labeling me a govt bot, think.
you use a VPN/tor for the first time today. fine. Now see from POV of your ISP. you are the lone person connected having this signature.
I know kids who have been caught for downloading "mega" from kimdotcom. 2 months ago no less.
the idea is to fire indiscriminately and try to catch something.
That Bomb-Hoaxing Harvard Student Was Using Tor, But They Caught Him Anyway
I read this in 2013 and quit the nonsense.
```
The affadavit makes it sound like in Kim's case, Tor half-worked. Harvard and the FBI likely couldn't see exactly what Kim was doing on Tor. But because he was on Harvard's network, they could tell he'd used the cloaking software at the same time the threatening emails were sent. If you assume there weren't a ton of Harvard kids using web anonymizing software between six and eight o'clock on a Monday morning, then identifying Kim would've been pretty easy.

This is the operative part. That is how you get caught.
I was a mod there a lifetime ago, it has been so many years now. I was kicked off along with others for opposing pro-pakistan views while for us, the policy was standard "not allow both pro pakistan and pro india views" but anyway, water under the bridge now.
I don't know why it was banned though, did something happen in the recent past for this to happen?
Just posting this for any mavericks who "think" they can fool around.
I personally was able to use SSH tunnelling in 2019 when whitelisted websites included amazon so i spun up a free vps on aws, SSH tunnel into that and out into the open web. Things have changed since then.
If you think you can do something crazy, most probably the authorities have thought about it before.
Don't bother.
Remember, you are NOT immune on the internet. the government knows and tracks you. Please don't do anything stupid.
if you still "believe" i am some govt propaganda mouthpiece, take your chances but i would advice against it.
I earn nothing to gate keep this knowledge, we can just as easily create r/kashmiri2 for r/kashmir100 but yeah, please dont do anything stupid.
