If you are using Brave or Firefox you can 'copy clean link' which will strip the tracking parameters off of the URL. If you use an AdBlocker you can enable tracking URL protection.

Absolutely shocking, who would've thought that the surveillance law~ I mean safety law would fail to "protect" people online.

You being forced to reveal information about yourself to use the internet is bad. You should be allowed to browser the web freely without being known. Don't let them take away the free web from you.

We aren't a VPN in the traditional sense, we're a 2-party relay, which is different from "multi-hop" offered by traditional VPN providers. Multi-hop has little to no actual benefit for the trust problem we're trying to solve. In most cases, you're just routing through two servers controlled by the same provider, adding latency while still trusting the same company with both sides of the connection. A 2-party relay is fundamentally different. With Obscura: You → Obscura → Mullvad → Internet Obscura operates the first hop. We can see your IP address, but your traffic is end-to-end encrypted to Mullvad, so we can't see where you're going. Mullvad operates the exit hop. They can send your traffic to the internet, but they don't see your real IP because the connection comes from Obscura. So instead of trusting one VPN provider not to connect "who you are" with "what you're doing", those two pieces of information are split between two independent parties. Neither party has the full picture.

Windows 11 license fee hikes contributing to higher laptop prices, says report

A new report claims Microsoft has raised the cost of the Windows license by up to 10% for certain OEMs, which is much higher than usual.

Volkswagen blocked their app on GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and other custom ROMs. They claim it's for "security" because the app now relies on Google's Play Integrity API and certified Android standards. Meanwhile, the same app still works fine on Android 10 devices that stopped getting security updates years ago. https://cybernews.com/privacy/volkswagen-grapheneos-app-issues/ Android 10 received its last official security update from Google on March 6, 2023.

EU officials are trying to revive (again) private chat scanning after Parliament voted it down. Scanning everyone’s messages treats 450 million people as suspects and threatens end-to-end encryption. Stand against chat control and mass surveillance. They’ll try again and again. Don’t give them an inch. Or, as Europeans would say, don’t give them a centimeter.

---- Contrary to popular belief, traditional VPNs (even “no-log” ones) can track you – they see both who you are and what you do, just like your ISP. Your ISP is no better. Since 2017, they've been able to legally sell your sensitive data. Obscura is different – we never see your decrypted internet packets in the first place. It’s simply impossible for us to log your internet activity, even if we were compelled to, or if our servers were compromised. We achieve this by using a fully-independent exit hop run by @mullvadvpn. Ensuring that our servers never see your traffic, and the exit hop never sees your identity. In fact, you can check your connected server’s public key against those listed on Mullvad’s server page! But that’s not all… You may have had the frustrating experience of trying to use your VPN on a restrictive WiFi: in an airport, a hotel, or certain jurisdictions. Other VPNs will often fail to connect, as their off-the-shelf protocol is easily detected and blocked. With Obscura, we built our own custom stealth protocol that is much harder to block. Our protocol blends in with regular internet traffic using the same technology that powers HTTP/3 – QUIC – making it much harder for censors or network filters to detect or block. To celebrate our launch, Obscura is just $6/month. Our team has put in the hours to make this all a seamless experience, and I hope you’ll take Obscura for a spin. 🔗
