adison verlice<p>ok So we have something to talk about here. So I've noticed there's something called a hardware enforced no logging <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/vpn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vpn</span></a> and it's located at <a href="https://vp.net" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">vp.net</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> .<br> In theory this does sound promising, but I've noticed some issues with it. And it makes it look more like a scam VPN.<br> 1st off, it uses the <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/intel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>intel</span></a> SGX, or Intel software guard extension as it's Real name the problem with the trusted execution environment is that it's closed source. And you can't really verify If it actually works For all we know it could be running aside Intel management engine.<br>Second. And this is probably what makes it not anonymous. It requires a fucking <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/kyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kyc</span></a> EG credit card, stripe/link, amazon, et cetera. At least <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.online/@mullvadnet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mullvadnet</span></a></span> Does not require KYC, and cannot be linked back to you because It uses randomly generated account numbers and Is even more anonymous if you pay in <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/monero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>monero</span></a> XMR. Even has an onion service. But this? This VPN doesn't. So if that is part of your <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> test this VPN in particular fails it.<br>As <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.space/@kkarhan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>kkarhan</span></a></span> puts it, KYC is the illicit activity.<br> And by the way I'm talking about the VPN mentioned earlier not MULLVAD, That passes the privacy test. Just wanted to be clear about that before I go on to my next statement.3rd, again even though Client is open Client is open source it uses Client is open source it uses proprietary components like Intel SGX. Oh and by the way I don't think this particular VPN has undergone independent <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/audit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audit</span></a>. There are several red flags here and I would not use this particular VPN. If you're looking for privacy with a VPN I would use mullvad!<br><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/opsec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opsec</span></a></p>
