Why are you telling lies? Have you even read the article?

The title is misleading.

I don’t think so, while the impact wasn’t as great as he and other people wished, it nonetheless had a big impact, many people started to care, just because of what he exposed.

I felt weird about some of their practices, e.g., making so-called “Whois Privacy,” which hides your personal data in RDAP requests, a paid extra feature when you register or move a domain to them.

I never spend time too look deeper into their service at that time, as I was only looking for a domain registrar. Their apps are available on F-Droid which is cool.

It’s spam by the same person across multiple accounts from the same blog.

Why do you make so many posts linking to the same website?

Best comment so far.

(…) as well as the server you’re reaching out to.

No, the server you reach out to sees the full traffic because that is the server your device is communicating with. It is only routed over the VPN, which acts as a middle person.

A VPN does not strictly hide your location. There is a lot of information that is shared with the websites you visit, e.g. your preferred language, timezone, etc.

A VPN can only change the IP-Address which also reveals information about your approximate location. In my case it is often times a city in another state, not very accurate.

No, thanks.

Update: They silently went back to Mastodon.

Glad we’re stealing from people now. /s
