I am currently using Proton VPN (free tier) which is set to Always-ON and Block Connections on disable.
Today while I am going through my Gmail security option, on the devices/sessions I found my real location mentioned over there. Even when I use desktop I always connect to VPN.
On this issue I got couple of doubts:
- Is this because I am using a free tier VPN? so it's not functioning properly etc...
- Else google fixed my location based on my previous location history? I used my google applications without VPN for many years, I am just learning & following privacy tips recently.
I use Aegis as my 2fa. Today on new token creation I observed that there's hash function set to SHA-1, later checked all my tokens and the result is same type of encryption used for all. So I have edited all my tokens to SHA-256 as a result my totp doesn't authenticate. Do I have to rescan my tokens for updating to SHA-256 or it doesn't work like that?
Security: SHA-1 < SHA-256 < SHA-512
Speed: SHA-1 > SHA-256 > SHA-512
My doubts are: Why can't we use SHA-256? Is it because TOTP requires less time so faster one(SHA-1) is chosen? Can we use SHA-256 for TOTPs?

It’s great using their Fastgpt which gives accurate results from various forums and websites, where other gpt based search engines lack. And got to try their Summarizer.
I recommend to use it as Secondary source (with tempmails) and Primary remains SearX for sure.
I am using Launch Chat. As it got more other messenger apps(Telegram, Signal). So far so good, chat with people without allowing contacts permission to messengers like whatsapp.
