Today we are announcing a partnership with Obscura VPN, a newly launched two-party VPN service that uses our WireGuard VPN servers as its “exit hop”.

First I’m hearing of ObscuraVPN at least, but it does seem to be a very new player in the market. However from reading through their website and Github. This service does look very promising! Though it is slightly more expensive than Mullvad.

Anyone had the chance to test their service yet? Does it seem interesting to you? Let’s discuss.

    First time seeing a service support Nostr public keys instead of email.

      It is interesting but it also does not inspire much confidence in this service since anyone who’s used Nostr knows exactly what and who it’s for.

          And Raging angry right wingers. Though a lot of those are moving to mainstream services like Twitter and Facebook.

        It’s swarmed by crypto content but it’s a nice, simple, distributed protocol. Run your own node; compared to any AP service, it’s astonishingly lightweight. Peer, or not; refuse to handle traffic from the crypto heavy nodes.

        It’s a fantastic, well designed protocol. Read a few NIPS, then read the Activity Pub design and you tell me which one you think is more well-designed.

        I won’t ignore that the majority of traffic was crypto stuff, but it’s slowly broadening out to more legitimate content, like porn.

          Pretty sure it also has a decent amount of alt-right MAGA content as well.
