Notice Warning to VPN Users

[Vekseid]

Someone using a VPN just tried to send me a very nasty package.

I will endeavor to keep VPN bans targeted accordingly, but if you get caught up in this, either tell your VPN provider to clean up their act, or pick a better one. Someone who doesn't accept crypto, probably.

In the global surveillance era, privacy-oriented VPN providers with a strict "no logging" policy are the better ones.

A package like a bomb in the mail, or a package like a massive virus? I feel like there's some context I'm missing here.

Malware, to be clear.

Apologies for the confusion.

I use surfshark, so I don't imagine it'll throw any flags. But just in case it does, putting a note of it here for future reference.

Is using Tor browser counted toward that?​

If I start getting attacks from the Tor network I may be forced to restrict access unfortunately.

Inconvenient for me, but that makes sense and I won't complain. I hope you don't have to deal with anymore attacks though.​

Even well-respected ones like Nord (which I’ve currently been using for the past few weeks as I’m abroad) accept crypto.

Though I doubt this’ll cause any problems for me in the future.

Thanks for the heads up
