Use any VPN as if it where compromized.

I mean what makes u think that proton isnt just another NSA operation.

VPNs protect your from geting caught torrenting, but it cant protect you from the US-goverment.

First of all most of the advertized VPN’s are Honeypots and/or back/bugdoored by the NSA.

And even if they where not…so much of the internet runs on servers/services/isp’s that are related to american companys that Timing attacks are possibe (for example your ISP logs and shared your encrypted traffic and the NSA then compares Timing patterns of requests with other services).

dabs om whale to make it go away

Usa invented the Online psyops/spy game with facebook/google. Now they pissed china beat them at there own game.

Wanting to ban a app/service that basically gives your biggest economic and political enemy direct conact to the local networks/brain of your population is understandable.

I mean those are the reasons why china banned Facebook/Google years ago.

Reality is more complicated tho, cause unless the usa is willing to build a chinese firewall for themself, it will be impossible to keep people from using TikTok via VPN.

If the usa would actually care for its citizen privacy they could just outlaw closed source software.

hmm not sure about the power cumsumption thing, if its special hardware, like a asic with the keywords hard coded then it would not need more power, what u said is only true if the system uses a cpu

Yeah like, its nice to know that at least somebody cares to listen

Mate u runing american designed hardware, no level of opensource firmware tinkering will fix the hardware Bugdoors in the Wireless modem or sim.
