  • If it wasn’t for all the survivalists and conspiracy theorists and paranoid software devs and whistleblowers and tech journos and anti-authoritarian content creators and anti-surveillance artists and even ordinary joes like me who just want to use online services withouth the digital equivalent of the weird kid in class who stood over your shoulder and watched everything you did (x1000), things could and would be much worse.

    this. this is the privacy truth of the year right here. shout out to all the insane people. we dont deserve them.











  • i wish people would stop viewing this guy as someone who is a guru extreme online privacy.

    Bazzell is good at one thing primarily, and that is Real Life privacy/hiding, when one’s adversaries on nongovernmental. that is his specialty and what he should be respected for.

    Bazzell is not a huge expert in thwarting mass surveillance or thwarting nation-state adversaries in technology. otherwise he wouldnt be giving recommendations that involve closed sourced software or cloudflare lol.

    He is a practical guy and knows enough to keep his clientele’s privacy for the types of adversaries he is accustomed to going up against (not nation state or federal gov)

    Correct. The snakes at the top play both sides against the middle, and while everyone is distracted by the puppet show, they do whatever they choose. Classic high level deception. Divide and conquer. Sadly most privacy bros don’t understand basic psy-ops and the art of war and deception.


  • All of the suggestions here are good but I would not put too much stock in where you get your DNS from if your reasons are for privacy. If anything, using anything beyond your ISP’s DNS could decrease your privacy, because now you are giving info to 2 providers (DNS and ISP)

    No matter what DNS server you use, your ISP can see every single IP you connect to and doing reverse lookups is extremely trivial for them of course.

    My advice is to use a good VPN provider. Any reputable one will also provide its own DNS servers as well.
