    TOR is just slightly harder to keep up on as far as being listed on the same tables as commercial VPN hosts because it’s so dynamic. Anyone can spin up a node and be a relay or, for the brave/foolish, an exit node in a few minutes.

    Privacy largely comes from a plausible deniability in that the person asking for a site could be the originator or they could just be relaying a request for the originator. Freenet, or now called hypha net is similar that way.

    My perspective on internet privacy has long been that while I don’t expect to be a ghost, I can make the picture as muddy as I can to make whatever profile they gather be as useless as possible.

    From the infosec practitioner perspective the number of bad actors coming from public VPN pops is exceptionally high compared to any other random IP, so they get put on a naughty list. We often cut out entire countries just because they have such a high ratio of bad 2 good traffic, particularly if it’s a country that we have no real expectation of user traffic originating from.

    It’s not so much a VPN bad, but just that you’re hanging out with others that act bad. Kind of the Nazi bar thing but for hackers. If you set up a private VPN somehow on a random cloud host you likely wouldn’t see the same issues, how to keep the ownership anonymous though is another problem.












  • Was the prior drive set in some kind of raid set or just individuals, and what are the old drive capacity vs new?

    I guess it depends a lot on what your doing with the server. If it’s pure data store I would just boot off a USB and give yourself all the data space since it’s quite likely all running in ram anyhow.

    If you run apps out of it and need the M2 for swap and rapid cache storage the fastest would likely be make a 2 drive zpool, copy a single to it, and repeat as needed until you have it all copied over, then add the 3rd to the zpool
