Use private space instead of a second profile it is as secure and private but with less hassle. also you have to enable send notifications to current user in user settings and allow the second profile to run in background.

Edit: this video explains private space in GrapheneOS very well

I’m using one of these for a long time and since I need port-forwarding there seem to be only 3 options and thanks to your data I realized I still made the right choice and gonna keep using this one for forseeable future

Windscribe, Air VPN or Proton VPN. These are the good options windscribe is the most affordable of them but great non the less

I don’t think this Starmer guy is clueless at all. one of the most successful lies that we were told and believe in modern society is that politicians are stupid or they don’t have much power and other people in background control them so we don’t expect much from them when they screw us constantly. The way I see it this Starmer guy is following his authoritarian regime plan flawlessly. devide and conquer

Damn UK is getting really Orvelian fast. Not really surprising They always had authoritarian politicians

It’s either IronFox or Brave. Both are valid choices. Try them both

The fuck…

windscribe goes on sale a few time in the year. You can get it for 29$ a year which is a great price and for 20$ more you have static IP and permanent port-forwarding. It’s a great deal for a trustworthy and feature rich VPN in my opinion

Is that so. I also think that windscribe is better

First port-forward and now this I mean I get it but being versatile is more important in a VPN for me so no more Mullvad for me. I’ll be moving to either windscribe or AirVPN

I honestly don’t know much about Microtik’s RouterOS but in a few occasions I had I realised it is way too complicated for home user and their OS is not FOSS and needs payed license too. I’m sure it’s great once you get the hang of it but it’s unnecessary pain when there is OpenWRT available with a lot of devices you can choose not just one specific manufacturer

Well explained. I get it now

I have port forwarding setup on my devices (Google WiFi running OpenWRT). I can connect to most piers on qbitorrent. My only limit seems to be my bandwidth Which is what we want.

Damn I’m sold next step I gonna look into them

Thanks I had no idea that sounds great. I looked online they’re devices are not available at all where I live but that’s may not be the case for other.

As a matter of fact I heard about them but I don’t know much about OPNSense. Do they support devices other than ones they sell? They seem to be rather about professional environment not home network am right?

That’s interesting like which devices? Could you elaborate

You’re welcome. Sorry I didn’t named some specific devices but that’s because device availability and price changes drastically region to region so something maybe a great deal where I live but that may not be the case for you or the other way around.that said Xiaomi and some Hauwei maybe tp-link devices are the best bang for the buck in my corner of the world look into those maybe that’s the case for you too. Also Here is the new version of the table of hardware with more details

Sorry I don’t know much about DD-WRT to be honest. I myself have a Google WiFi mesh pack of three devices which I bought second hand for about 30$. They are excellent value in my opinion so maybe look into that if you’re interested

It comes down to specs and your needs but these are a must in my opinion:

1. having atleast 128 mb of storage or some way to expand it.
2. 256 mb of memory or more
3. suppot WiFi 6 or better 6E or 7
4. Support for mesh protocols if you need it
5. Decent multi core chipset if you gonna run intensive tasks on it (like VPNs or DNS filtering) etc… the list goes on but like I said It really comes down to your needs ( on a side note consider read the details and installation guide page before buying some brands and models are easier than others to tinker with for sure)

Spam prevention

OK thanks I’ll try to connect to asian countries servers from now on for YouTube

Windscribe Supports port-forwarding and they rank pretty well in privacy regards too but they are certainly rank a tier lower than IVPN and Mullvad. Guess it comes down to your priorities here

You’re right. Clipious and FreeTube and LibreTube all have both of them but they don’t have a solution for “sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” error which comes up a lot when you use a VPN. only third party client that fixed this for me was grayjay with passing auth cookies (yes you have to sign in for the cookies unfortunately)

Thanks I checked it it has SponsorBlock but not DeArrow

You mean brave NewPipe?

Thanks Sounds good but I can’t access YouTube without a VPN so I’m gonna get the “login to confirm you’re not a bot” error the second I open YT on web

Public Invidious instances are kinda Dead at the moment

Yeah someone else suggested that too I installed it again and to my surprise it works for now but I’m sure I tried the local extraction the last time too anyways thanks gonna test it for a few days with multiple VPN servers to see if it really passes Edit: it still doesn’t work with some VPN servers “confirm you’re not a bot” error

Because It’s modded official YT app with probably a lot of telemetry and phoning home in background

Thanks but How can it solve “confirm you’re not a bot” error without a logged in cookies?

Yeah who cares as long as they have it. But that’s why I think they probably don’t have any plans to add DeArrow to their official YT plugin

Yeah sometimes it doesn’t work for me too but I think that’s because I use a VPN

There were some preset piped instances in it I tried some of them. I have to mention that I use a VPN to access YouTube and maybe that is my problem but I have to use a VPN since YouTube access is restricted where I live

Yeah I know I tried this one recently too but with recent YouTube restrictions It doesn’t work for me anymore

wow just what I was looking for and it’s abandoned

I meant their android port I use their desktop app that’s great

I have literally tried all of the YouTube Frontends I can find and grayjay is the most reliable of them all in my opinion but their YT plugin doesn’t support DeArrow. It seems like Louis Rossman doesn’t like these tools as he repeatedly said on his channel He’s not a fan of neither the SponsorBlock and nor DeArrow and understandably so after all he is a content creator himself. I wish instead of making a bunch of useless yt frontends someone would fork their plugin but I understand maintaining it would be hard work with YouTube constantly changing things in background and subsequent upstream updates need to be merged so who am I to judge I guess

Yeah it’s the best YouTube Frontend for Android TV for sure

Yeah I have tried freetube android recently. It looked very alpha stage to me and lacking but promising
