  • Basically saying you download either Wireguard or OpenVPN (from their official websites) and download a config from airvpn, then load that config into either WG or OpenVPN depending on what you got.

  • My primary question is whether having a VPN set up on my router will interfere with the commercial VPN on the server.

    No, it shouldn't. It's sort of a multihop, so you'd have pretty bad speeds, but if that doesn't bother you then go ahead.

    I’d like the pihole to be available outside of my LAN. I believe I can do so by setting up an OpenVPN configuration on my router.

    What I would recommend is using a Pi or any computer and hosting a wireguard server on there. If you connect through wireguard (which is a faster and easier to deploy vpn protocol) and choose the local DNS, you will have access to the pihole. But, this is only a VPN straight to your home network, not masking IP or whatever else.

    If you want to mask IP and use PiHole, I am not the person to consult since I just use NextDNS when off my home network.

    Hope that helps.

  • I'm kind of confused as to what you're asking on this post. Is it that you want pihole available to you whilst not being on LAN? Or that traffic isn't routed through the VPN? Please clarify, and i'll try to answer.

  • They've been here a while, just a very small company. Really the only times I've heard them were on blogs (originally where I found them) and on r/VPNTorrents a month or two back when they started to do port-forwarding. For me, I found it to be a solid service, but no longer use them due to the pricing.

  • Njalla also only has servers in sweden, so can also be a downside for you. AzireVPN is good, and I have personally used it, would recommend you buy a month to test it out and then commit if you like it.

  • AzireVPN has pf and ipv6. I wouldnt recommend airvpn because you will not get full speeds, I get 450/1000 at most. edit: njalla has pf and ipv6 as well, totally forgot to mention it - though pf is through upnp, so torrenting only ig.

  • There's an app on the playstore called "datmusic". It's $6 or so and rips music from Deezer @ 320kbps to full on lossless FLAC. No subscription is needed unless you want to download an entire playlist.

    It feels and looks like Spotify to me, just without the subscription part.

  • Oh, no. I'm not ignoring the other options, just wanted to make a clear example, as bad as it was haha. I just like small sizes since quality isn't the highest priority of mine, just like how I love FLACs and cannot deal with 320mp3.

    What are your favorite resources (guides, studies, etc) to learn about privacy?

    Hey all, hoping we can share some of our favorite privacy resources. I do not believe this has been talked about on Lemmy, so it will serve as a good thread to get diverse takes on privacy, and how to accomplish the mentioned.

    Personally, I liked reading and using these:

    Looking forward to the contributions!

    Help me choose an email aliasing/forwarding service!

    Edit 2: For anyone finding this in the future, I chose Simplelogin simply (pun intended) because I was eligible for a 50% off coupon. If I couldnt have gotten that, I would instead use Firefox's Relay because it's super cheap and you support Mozilla in the process. People seem to forget that if Mozilla goes bankrupt and can no longer develop Firefox and fight for the current free and open web, we would no longer be able to use the internet as it is, and would lose practically all privacy. Pros and cons still stand, hope this helps you (or anyone else in the future / present) to understand what option to chose, and what my choice was in the end.

    Edit: I'm testing between Firefox Relay and Simplelogin as of now. Thank you all for the help, appreciate it!

    Hey all, sorry if this was posted before, but lemmy search is hot dogshit at the moment, so I cannot really find anything relating to this topic.

    Recently, I have been upgrading my email privacy bit by bit, and am in need of an email

    Going to be spending the next week in Calgary, food recommendations?

    Hey all, going to be staying in Calgary for this week (Monday - Saturday) and hoped to get some restaurant recommendations from the locals! I really enjoy middle-eastern and Asian cuisine, but I'm open to anything, as is my wife. We're going to be downtown in a friend's house if that matters.

    Thank you!

    Edit: just arrived in Calgary, pretty tired but thank you all for the recommendations, I'll make sure to try plenty while I'm here!
