I tend to use GrayJay. But i’ve never used it for twitch. I do however see there is a beta version for twitch on the app ^^ (it’s a all in one app so it does support YouTube, oddysey, kick and basically anything you can think of)


I haven’t asked because I’m quite sure they simply would ignore me ^^ I don’t like cheating. But I do like security. I don’t mind a bit of latency anyway. Thanks for the advicea though!


Because they don’t allow VPNs and for some weird reason, they consider it cheating. Got banned once, but that was during a time I got in with a VPN. For some reason, my steam ID wasn’t banned. But more of me and my IP in combination. Back then, I could just switch origin IP. Now its jot really possible and quite annoying ^^;


Hmm… All I can think of is doing this and borrowing a neighboring towns internet. Like a blackbox xD which doesn’t sound legal.

Doing in within my own network, would not change my IP. Doing it within a family members network… Well I don’t want to share their IP either :P

Or do you mean like one of those free website hosting providers?


Need an affordable residential and secure proxy
I tend to play Team Fortress 2. It's a rather old game. The server I play on used to allow anyone to connect. Later on, it kicked me (sometimes) because it detected me originating from one of MullvadVPN's IP addresess. They seem to have updated the blacklist list so it always seems to detect me using a VPN. I just don't want to share my public IP with them. Is there a clever way around this? I feel like all the residential proxies tend to be quite pricey compared to a normal VPN

I use MullvadVPN and i have never encountered this issue before. Hopefully won’t need to either.

I’ll tell you another weird detail I found out today… A lot if my coworkers had their uBlock terminated by the chrome browser. I use Ubuntu with chromium because reasons and somehow, my uBlock is still active and working o.o it has not been terminated and I still get rid of those nasty YouTube ads.


Exactly. We have to think about the children…

Its jot the parents responsibility to be apart of their kids lives and bring them up properly. That responsibility have been pushed onto the governments so that they can leverage it against peoples right to privacy


Not only USA, but Chains and “Great” Britain as well. You saw how they magaged to get access to all encrypted data stored on Apple’s servers within UK.

The politicians in power in Sweden, currently, explicitly said no to chat control 2.0 during the election process. They get voted… And now they pushed it into the EU and are supporting it. Terrible.


I have gotten a few family members and friends to use signal as I stated to them that this is the only way to get ahold of me. Other than this, you won’t. And because of me, they decided to do so :P some haven’t, but its up to them to decide.


Swedish government wants a back door in signal for police and 'Säpo' (Swedish federation that checks for spies) Let's say that this becomes a law and Signal decides to withdraw from Sweden as they clearly state that they won't implement a back door; would a citizen within the country still be able to use and access Signals services? Assuming that google play services probably would remove the Signal app within Sweden (which I also don't use) I just want the government to go f*ck themselves, y'know?

I’m not from England, but damm this is absolutely terrible. England already has a LOT of cameras everywhere to track people. They work hard to try and track people everywhere. Hence why this is scary cause this might actually go through due to how anti-privacy they seem to be.


Ooh, one more thing. Reddit has two different blocks. One is this network security one. This is client side and therefore, uBlock can bypass it with ease. There’s another one reddit has, but its server side and it shows up if malicious activity have exited from the same public IP your VPN is originating from. So simply changing your ‘origin’ is a solution in this case. However, the latter type of block is much more rare




Privacy Friendly Alternative to Paypal
I use PayPal to be the middle man to protect my credit card information when I purchase items online. Of course I have grown less fond of PayPal and their scammy behavior (plus the password limit is 20, wtf?) My question; is there an alternative to paypal to buy things online (without crypto as not all stores take such things), such as privacy.com (but for Europe). Correct mw if im wrong, but I believe privacy.com is for US, Canada region. My bank doesn't offer virtual credit cards sadly.

As i recall, ALL apps in google play store, have to have some sort of google shit embedded into it. Therefore, its better to download something outside of google if you want to remain degoogled.


True. I am one of those. I just use duckduckgo or swisscows or brave search.


Stealer logs is pretty bad. Very bad to be fair. It means your computer is infected and have stolen all your saved passwords.

Reinstall your operating system completely. Take note of your accounts and change all their passwords. Start with your email address as its the most important one.


I have an old email from when I was like 7 and signed up on a range of different gaming websites.

Now however, I use proton mail. They even own SimpleLogin, so all I do it generate hundreds of email aliases. No website know my actual email address and each mail received to these aliases, are forwarded to my actual proton mail account. Using Keepass or another password manager of choice, is a wise idea so you don’t have to remember all these accounts. Simple! Both secure, and private as it would be difficult to identify each account to an identity


Since Pavel Durov; the CEO of Telegram got arrested, I just instinctly have avoided telegram all together. I actually stopped two years before he got arrested as I just simply felt uneasy with the app. No encryption by default. Using obfuscation rather than encryption. But that’s just my opinion. Jumped over to signal and feeling much happier
