What similarly draconian laws have actually passed in recent time?

it will never pass in a million years, relax

Tor VPN can be downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store.

Cannot be trusted IMO… all play store apps are signed by google (they actually hold your signing keys now) and contain proprietary blobs.

Android Tablets and Chromebooks are not supported.

Why not tablets?

I disagree… I think that’s like saying “people are ok with having a license to drive, they won’t mind showing it every time they get behind the wheel.”

As far as I can tell from reading the text of the bill, this doesn’t actually require anyone to realistically verify anyone’s age… it just requires “account holders” (adults) at account creation time to provide a (any) birthdate for the purposes of categorizing their access by age bracket. It doesn’t say anything about the information having to be accurate, and gives no penalties for such.

It applies not just to Internet sites but any software application, including operating systems. And strangely it also designates any “person that owns, maintains, or controls an application” as a “Developer”.

We have tried to make Rayhunter as easy as possible to install and use, regardless of your level of technical knowledge

we do not support Windows

I just use FoxyProxy, which lets you use wildcard/regex rules to send different sites to different proxies (or none at all).

On firefox at least, you can also manually set a specific tab to use a different proxy.

Hard disagree… I think this is exactly how the government wants you to think.

A really weird thing about civil rights litigation is that is usually involves the absolute worst people you know, like say 4chan or the KKK because the government specifically targets people who are rightfully hated when building their case to eventually limit civil rights for all of us.

Now where have we learned about this from history… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came

My favorite was a bit from the wikipedia entry for “nothing to hide” which was since removed…

“you have nothing to hide? then pull down your pants and hand me your unlocked phone.”

Hello Daniel. Why do you keep creating alts and then calling everything fake news with no proof besides “google it yourself”?

I think the only real answer is going to be “it depends on too many factors people here can only LARP about really understanding, so ask a lawyer”, and even then it still depends on what every individual judge in someone’s case thinks.

Yea every network may do things differently… in my case tcp/443 openvpn is blocked at several places that I frequent.

I assume this is because, in addition to the missing ciphers as referenced in the linked article, OpenVPN, even though it uses TLS, it initially uses a very identifiable handshake before initiating TLS, which is not hard to block. I have personally had problems specifically with OpenVPN being targeted/blocked in this way.

did you read the article?

Verify our no-logging policy through code inspection

Couldn’t a network appliance, iptables or a bpf program still be logging and we’d have no idea?

Validate that the code running on our servers matches this public repository

Yes but AFAIK it can’t validate that the code you verified against is the same code actually powering your VPN session right now (could be a dummy box just used for validation), or that some other external hardware or superuser-level code isn’t also listening in. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
