Today is Defend VPNs Day, organized by @fightfortheftr. Sometimes you need to stand up for yourself and others when a threat emerges. Governments everywhere are trying to restrict or outright ban VPNs, and if we don't fight back they'll get away with it.

A new Congressional Research Service analysis flags a core weakness in traditional single-hop VPNs. Single-hop VPNs shift trust from your ISP to one VPN provider. That provider sits between you and the internet and can see both where you connect from and where your traffic goes.

Utah has become the first state to explicitly write VPN circumvention into an age-verification law. SB 73 states that being physically in Utah still counts as being in Utah even if your VPN says otherwise, and covered sites can't tell users how to bypass their age checks with a VPN.

Not ONLY are they monitoring you outside but if you don't like it and post about it online, they'll monitor you there and hand that data to law enforcement. www.404media.co/the-governm...

The Government is Monitoring Anti-Flock TikTok and Instagram Accounts
Documents from law enforcement spy centers show the government is warning cops of "extensive and ongoing chatter on social media" about methods to "physically destroy Flock LPR cameras."

Amid RAM price hikes, Microsoft reportedly raises Windows license cost, forcing OEMs to hike prices even further on hardware
A new report claims Microsoft has raised the cost of the Windows license by up to 10% for certain OEMs, which is much higher than usual.

Volkswagen blocked their app on GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and other custom ROMs. They claim it's for "security" because the app now relies on Google's Play Integrity API and certified Android standards. cybernews.com/privacy/vol...

The EU’s highest court has explicitly recognized VPNs as “lawful technical tools which users may legitimately use.” This decision reinforces the role of VPNs in protecting user privacy, securing online activity, and enabling safe access to the internet. www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-pri...

EU officials are trying to revive (again) private chat scanning after Parliament voted it down. Scanning everyone’s messages treats 450 million people as suspects and threatens end-to-end encryption. Stand against chat control and mass surveillance.

Obtainium (and similar tools like F-Droid, direct APK installs from GitHub releases, etc.) will continue to work normally on GrapheneOS. It's awful that Google keeps locking down Android, but it's Google. keepandroidopen.org/en/

As of v1.163, Obscura on Android now allows local network access by default (for printers and other local devices). You can configure this option in the settings tab.
Settings menu displays options for network configurations, including a button to rotate the WireGuard key and a toggle for local network access.

There's a difference between "we don't log" and "we can't log." One is a policy. The other is architecture.

KYC requirements are killing the open web. Every time a platform forces you to submit government ID just to exist online, they're building a surveillance database that would make the Stasi jealous. And the worst part? They're doing it "for your safety."

I can't log people activities, I can't see websites people visit, even if someone REALLYYYYY tried, they wouldn't be able to pull that information out of me, simply because I can't have it.

Previously, our Android Alpha connection was fragile. It randomly dropped and broke on refresh or network changes. That is fixed. The Android Alpha now just works (for the most part). You can try our Alpha here: appdistribution.firebase.google.com/pub/i/65f09...

Here’s something to consider with Discord alternatives: are they centralized or decentralized? If they’re centralized, the same issue is going to happen. It is much harder (basically impossible) to KYC a protocol that's decentralized, so use decentralized social media.

White image with the words "The evolution of the trash icon". On it are seven Windows "Trash icons", each with a year under it. (1995, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2015, 2025, and 2026)

For 2025, the "Trash icon" is replaced with the Microsoft Teams icon.

For 2026, the "Trash icon" is replaced with the Microsoft Copilot icon.

When installing browser extensions, check the permissions they request and the data they collect. You don’t want your extensions taking screenshots of what you’re doing, sending them to a remote server, and selling that data.

Hi all, on iOS there is a bug with the new experimental On-Demand feature that may forcibly log you out if you don't unlock your phone quick enough after a reboot, the team is urgently working on a fix right now. TL;DR: Don't enable the experimental On-Demand feature for now!
