Oh, I see. I don’t think you can make calls over tor because I think it’s TCP only. Not UDP.

Could it be an IP addressing problem by chance where the telecom provider doesn’t support say IPv6 while your home network is IPv6? If so, they may not be blocking it, so much as it’s not possible to make the connection to begin with.

You could potentially get your own VPS server and set that up as a VPN server that way you’re not connecting to a known VPN.

Edit: You might also try using Tor.

I actually really like this one with the shield and the lock. I think that’s a fantastic idea.

I am a kagi user on the $5 plan and love it.

You should consider getting yourself a domain and linking it to your email. That way, you don’t have to continuously switch email addresses. You can just switch service providers and point your domain at the new service provider and keep all of your same email addresses.

With that said, there’s a good potential that Proton is going to be adding the ability to pay with Monero in the near future, and Tuta can be paid for with Monero using proxysto.re.

Kuno.anne.media for fundraisers and xmrchat.com for superchats

Good point

Oh, you can absolutely do that. There’s a higher risk of it getting lost, and it takes longer, but it’s definitely an option.

Mullvad paid with monero so when the Gestapo starts arresting people, there won’t be records of them paying for it.

I’ve been using Proton for five or six years, but I’m seriously thinking about switching because they don’t currently support Monero payments.

Honestly, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I just use the AOSP contacts app on the phone and then export a CSV file and keep a copy of that in my database on KeyPass.

They are on the Guardian Project repository which is no longer in the fdroid app by default to the best of my understanding. So you have to go at it yourself.

Also, orbot is shit, use inviZible to stay updated with the latest tor daemon releases

Agree

No, it’s really not. Primarily, because I’m using LineageOS with absolutely no Google services at all installed.

That is your opinion and an opinion that we do not share. I agree with you that most cryptocurrencies are bad.

However, there are some real diamonds mixed in with the lumps of coal, and you should really try to find them.

I use controld.com p2 dns over tls which kills known malware, tracking, and ads. I have it set up as a standard DNS provider on my home network so that everybody uses it and it works great.

Neat idea. Kagi is doing something similar for search, where they can verify that you have paid for the privilege of using the service, but can’t link your actual account.

If promoting decentralized censorship resistant private money makes me a criminal then I’m happy to be a criminal.

If you need to see criminals, just look up pictures of politicians and you’ll find them.

That’s what actually makes me think that it could happen. Just because it was an official source.
