You’re right, my bad.

Or netbird if you want something non US.

Yes but ECH/ESNI have been around for some time now, even if the official spec is recent, but adoption is stil l very low.

With a VPN it’s the VPN that has access to the list of domain you visit instead of your ISP. Whether you should put your trust in your ISP or a VPN is another question.

But they’ll still see the SNI.

Reverse DNS would only show domain name, not URL. And even then a lot of websites are sharing IPs. No point in doing that when you’ve got SNI.

Even if you use encrypted DNS they’ll still be able to see the domain in the SNI. Websites using ECH are very rare.

It doesn’t matter if you click on it. The ad space auction is already done.

No, unless you browse http website. They’ll only see the domain name in the request SNI or during the DNS request.

Is it something that you really cannot find already ripped elsewhere?

Isn’t LTSC a thing for Windows 11? When I still had a Windows 10 on dual boot LTSC was the only usable thing for me.

Noyb is not a media outlet.

I liked this explanation:

Well the causality is obvious here.

Yes but

1. as far as we know they had no idea that it was hacked, so I don’t see how you can get a “vibe” if they are blind to it
2. the criminals were already using it when LE discovered it and then hacked into it

I don’t see how being hacked make it “still a honeypot”.

Where did you read that they gave police full access? I thought they were hacked.

What makes you think encrochat was a honeypot? Am I missing something?
