I turned it off for 3 days and the difference was very noticeable.
No spending 2-3 minutes switching between servers to make a website work, no captchas before reading, no false “connection timed out” or “server blocked” notices.
Is everyone having the same experience, or am I doing something wrong?
*Oh but to add, any ads which slipped through unlock ended up being obviously better targeted, which I was repulsed by :)
*Edit: it looks like turning off Firefox’s own DNS resolver managed to subside many of the captcha request, including for apps which are just browser overlays. Thanks @hansolo@lemmy.today :)
Another downside is that your traffic is no longer being mingled with other users on the same IP.
Have it “scrap” websites randomly and if anyone questions it. Just say its for training AI.
TBF, anybody using IPv6 is … uniquely identifiable, at least at that layer
How is that?
That’s kind of the point of a vpn though? Your traffic will exit the same node as lot of other traffic. Ipv6 or not
