Make sure your router has built-in VPN support folks. That way when some shit like this does eventually pass all your traffic can flow over the VPN for your entire network.

This law seems to be aimed at taking down hosted content though, so you can connect over your VPN but the sites won’t be there to connect to, unless they move their hosting out of the USA. And even that might not be enough to protect US companies from being forced to take the content down if they want to survive.

I’ve had this setup and would recommend but since I’ve switched from OpenVPN to Wiregaurd I’m getting constantly hit by cloud flare verification s and captchas… and my IP hasn’t changed once since. Wondering if that’s just the environment now or specific to my protocol change. Any readers’ experiences?

That is the goal, I guess, big tech companies don’t like if one protects their privacy…

Best of all captchas which require human interaction are completely redundant anyways. From a security perspective anyways (blocking bots generating huge amounts of traffic)… For training your next LLM however…
Cloudfare sees a lot of traffic from a single ip and performs the checks you’re seeing to make sure it’s not malicious. Google will do the same, as will a number of other services.
Make sure to own your router, I’d say. Set you ISP router to modem mode and use OpnSense on a APU as router where you have full control. You can filter ads with adGuard and you can use wireGuard and openVPN to connect to a VPN provider as well as setting up an endpoint so you can protect yourself even on the go and even on locked up systems like iOS.
Except, Apple does let some of their own packages not go through VPN, which is very shady, tho.

If you’re savy then install open wrt on it. If you want expert mode, then install pfsense on an old PC/laptop. If you want pucker factor, then install pfsense in a VM where the host machine gets it’s ip from the VM.

Thanks! Just to be sure, the router company becomes inconsequential when I install openwrt, or am I mistaken?
As in say I buy a linksys router and install openwrt, linksys can no longer spy on my traffic, so I shouldn’t worry about that, right?

It’s actually not bad to do it as long as your host machine has a static ip. Makes it easier to take a snapshot before you make major changes. Just be prepared with an extra router. If you have a family the second the Internet is not working you will be blamed.

The members of Congress who vote for this bill should remember—they do not, and will not, control who will be in charge of punishing bad internet speech. The Federal Trade Commission, majority-controlled by the President’s party, will be able to decide what kind of content “harms” minors, then investigate or file lawsuits against websites that host that content.
Oh, fuck. I get the Republicans voting for it, but what the fuck is wrong with the Democrats? Bernie voted yes on this thing!
I think with most Dems (including Bernie) it’s a case of terminal being old and not understanding what they’re doing. Basically every single internet bill is written by corporate lobbyists and handed off to be rubber stamped.
Its almost as if even the better party of the two still has its own agenda that its trying to fulfill.
One that isn’t necessarily in our best interests.
Of course there is a worse side of the coin but you gotta love how any time it is something that really fucks the people good (especially about privacy) they all suddenly magically agree and can pass it in moments.
The fact that even the most progressive one out of the bunch who’s supposed to be the way forward and should’ve had that nomination last time even voted yes on it should jolt everyone awake. But it will not.
We were warned about a two party system.

Idk, depending on the context I might support this bill. If you need to have real quantifiable evidence of harm done to children then you should expect the authorities to come in and clean it up.
