Very interesting product! How does this compare to something like Nebula? Have you done benchmarks against other solutions? If i remember correctly, Nebula implements its own protocol and underperforms compared to Wireguard. Is this the same case?
Looking forward to trying it out!

Awesome, thank you for the reply. Will try out Portmaster again!

I remember trying out Portmaster on Windows earlier this year. I think Portmaster was running a local DNS server to see what connections were being made. This interfered with my VPN, Mullvad, which was trying to use a remote DNS server.
Does Portmaster still require a local DNS server? I’ve been an avid user of Glasswire for years and it works flawlessly with my VPN. But i would love to switch to a open source alternative.

I think it’s because SPN uses a different IP/node per connection you make. DNS leak detection tests will ask your browser to resolve unique subdomains. If the DNS server that requests the lookup is different from your connecting IP to the website, they will say you have a DNS leak.

I’m confused on why secret management considered secure. Maybe I’m missing something.
Why is letting a third party managed your secrets is secure? So if that third party gets compromised, they now have access to all your secrets. Amazon or other company employees can also view your secrets.
If your server gets compromised, the secrets that are accessible via that server are also compromised. Isn’t that the same impact as just keeping the secrets on your server? Maybe worse if your permissions are broad. You’re merely adding an extra step to get the secret from your secret management.

But if they have the decrypted secrets, do they really need the key?

I’m not sure I understand the value of reporting this to Microsoft? Wouldn’t it be better to submit an online tip to law enforcement? Is Microsoft doing law enforcement activity now?

The website says its secure and private, but your privacy policy contradicts it. Seems like you don’t collect usage data, but the ad providers do. Is it right to make such a privacy claim?

If I need to encrypt a file for quick sharing, I’ll use gpg.
Encrypt: gpg -c file.zip
Decrypt: gpg file.zip.gpg
However, for my personal files on my computer, I use a Veracrypt container with a strong password and custom pin.

If someone wants to watch Russian propaganda or RT, they should be free to do so. Just like you are free to browse western media sites.
This choice should be up to the individual and their beliefs.
In the Golang library you can use the “Search.WithQuery” option. This means you don’t have to construct a JSON request body.
Here’s an example: https://github.com/taythebot/archer/blob/main/pkg/elasticsea...
