I was not aware that photopea was copyrighted. Isn't it open source?
I've just received a DMCA takedown on my photopea fork. Is this Adobe going crazy and firing in all directions because a guy open sourced all their software?

smokevpn.com solves this problems.
Been using it for most of my small DIY projects. It's fast, portable and simple.
It seems signal is implementing a new type of login that doesn't require a phone number and some people privacy advocates are celebrating. I'm truly confused by this. Why are they cheering for a new login that needs to be paid using a credit card?!
For completion, I decided to make device to device connections an opt-in feature that requires 2fa enabled to log into the account.
AUP was also rephrased to make a clear distinction between prevention and identification.
You're right on both counts.
My Mullvad comparison was focused on the credential, not on the LAN model. Brute forcing the account was never the issue, I missed the point about device-to-device was the real threat, fair point. I'm starting implementing LAN connections as opt-in, not default.
Second point, you're also right, because I was mixing prevent and identify, preventions shouldn't need logs, we can't take an IP address and a timestamp and attach a user to it, and the AUP imply something else, I'll rephrase this.
I couldn't understand the concept of "before the market open" on a crypto currency context.
yeah the account number is basically the mullvad model, 16 digits, no email no password. its a tradeoff, i know some people hate it. login is rate limited server side so you cant just sit there hammering numbers at it. is it weaker than a long passphrase? probably yeah. the flip side is theres no personal info sitting in a database for someone to leak, or for someone to show up with a subpoena for.
on the local network point, thats only your own devices seeing each other. traffic between different customers is blocked.
logs, our thing is reactive, we're not sitting there watching everything. we act when we get an abuse report. some of it is just blocked structurally anyway, port 25 is closed so no spam is coming out of there. and we keep zero logs. child abuse material, account gets terminated if we get a credible report or a legal notice, but we dont proactively scan, thats not really possible when the traffic is encrypted and theres nothing logged to scan in the first place. the only thing counted is aggregate bytes per account for the quota and the trial. not what, not where.
and honestly, this is a one person project. code needs cleanup, secrets and config need to come out, and it needs a proper security pass before its safe to publish.
I didn't mention on the original post, but the server currently has 84 exit servers in 45 countries.

I have started developing a prototype of a WireGuard VPN hub, where I could set a custom exit to a specific device, for example, my TV box would use a VPN in Germany, while my desktop a VPN is Serbia and I could switch the exit in realtime without having to stop the VPN connections and consequently no disconnections (ssh, etc).The project grew, and I ended up adding SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy, Tor...
I'm not buying the solo guy job hacktivist, not even close, this was gov level hacks, and the consequences of the hacks also point to this.

Employers found another way to make the customers pay for their employees salary.
Class action lawsuit on the way...
