Windscribe are a bit late to the game -https://x.com/windscribecom/status/1995619967996494334
They are twittering today quoting an article that was published 3+ months ago.
Proton is moving out of Switzerland because of their new surveillance laws. So much for Switzerland being some bastion of privacy huh? That makes Canada a better place for a VPN. Stop drinking the marketing koolaid.
Judging by the direction that Switzerland seems to be going, I am guessing (I could be wayyyy wrong) that Swiss privacy companies are going to be still effective for people outside of Switzerland, soon to be completely free from US big tech spying. Canada are in the 5 eyes, whereas Switzerland aren’t even mentioned in the 14 eyes.
As for Canada being a better place for the Privacy or a VPN, I think Windscribe need to stop drinking their own nonsense.

What’s happening in Switzerland? Flipping and flopping for the past year. I welcome this latest news, and the similar news yesterday, hopefully it is infectious to the rest of Europe but it completely contradicts things that have been proposed for the last few months, then the sudden change. I wonder did Trump push too hard:
May 14 2025 - Proposed Swiss surveillance law ‘identical to Russia’
June 13 2025 - “A war against online anonymity” – why Switzerland wants to change its surveillance law and what’s at stake
September 11 2025 - Swiss government looks to undercut privacy tech, stoking fears of mass surveillance
November 15 2025 - Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US
November 27 2025 - Switzerland: Data Protection Officers Recommend Broad Cloud Ban for Authorities

Black Friday isn’t even a thing in Europe, yet I’ve been seeing adverts for for almost a month now, with two week long “sales” to generously allow us not to miss out.

I wonder what their motivation is. Just a good old change of heart, giving everyone a 2nd chance or possibly something else?

That just means whatever he is doing, it’s working. They’ll have to start banning copycats. Probably would have been better for them if they 🤐
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 2 months ago:
One of the main points about chat control is that it forces software developers to break their own encryption or face whatever the penalties will be. It is ridiculous and will hopefully be stopped in it’s tracks, unfortunately not enough people know about it, and even of the ones that do, not enough of them understand what it is and how dangerous it is. Basically, the governments have seen how lucrative it has been for the big techs, and how advantageous it can be to control our data. They have seen what the Israeli’s have been able to do with that information and tech. They want in. It has nothing to do with child protection. If it passes, all politicians better be squeakier and cleaner than squeaky clean. With their data not being scanned, we will likely have to watch them ourselves.
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 2 months ago:
Watch the insurance payouts drop dramatically if these go through. Access to all of your medical history… Insane. Still nothing compared to the proposed EU Chat Control.

- Comment on Bands pull out from festival after group 'cut off' over Palestine flag 3 months ago:
It doesn’t matter if enough artists make a stand. It should turn those festivals to beige shit pretty quickly… Even the people you speak of wouldn’t want to attend.
It’s really all down to the artists and whether or not they want to help the genocide supporters profit.
- Comment on Bands pull out from festival after group 'cut off' over Palestine flag 3 months ago:
Expect festivals to become either a lot tamer and the bands to get in line, or expect a revolt by the artists. These guys could pretty much crush most artists off the live festival circuit. Most of the festivals are pretty small, but they also own Sziget, which is one of the biggest if not the biggest festival in Europe. There has already been a few boycotts for these.
KKR & Co. bought superstruct entertainment, who own and organise this festival with a few others last year for €1.3bn

Many artists backing out of music festivals snapped up by private equity firm KKR
Many Dutch artists are pulling out of festivals owned by the private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). They don’t agree with the American venture capitalist’s investments, including in companies active in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. They also seem concerned about private equity invading festivals, forcing up ticket prices and food prices, and destroying the vibe.
KKR owns multiple Dutch festivals. DGTL, Mysteryland, Amsterdam Open Air, and Zwarte Cross are among the Dutch festivals that have distanced themselves from their owner in recent days, NOS reports.
The venture capitalist also bought up the British festival organizer Supertruct Entertainment last year. The company owns and operates over 80 festivals in ten countries, including Awakenings and Defqon.1 in the Netherlands, Sziget in Budapest, and Sónar in Barcelona.

- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thank you very much. I think I will try tailscale first with setup, asv I’ll only be using it and maybe one other person. I will likely be torrenting as I’ve seen some tutorials on what can be done with the correct setup, and most tutorials include a list of apps. I’m hoping to add a few of those.
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thanks a million again. I have seen tailscale appear a few times while I was looking aroundi will look into it today.
I have just one more question (sorry). Tailscale VPN Wire guard
Which is the best option, paid or otherwise.
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thanks for that, i’m still reading through your post/going back to it. The scripts look really handy. Should I purchase a decent VPN to use for the server to connect to apps like Immich outside my home network, or is wireguard enough? Sorry, I am brand new to this, and I am going to start a new install of proxmox in the morning but with real login details and setup (not a test one). Thanks again for the above post.
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thanks, I got in using the IP that appeared on that list (Not my public IP address) I am in the app now. Thanks again, I am going to go to bed now, and hopefully ready to try and get it working when I am outside the network tomorrow.
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thanks, I was able to access immich app using an IP address that did begin with 192.168. It wasn’t one I had seen before. I am now in the app, it is ‘building the timeline’
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thanks, I typed that command, and i got my ‘public IP address’ which is the one I was using in immich that begins with 5. Further down the list I saw an IP address I hadn’t seen before neither in the setup of proxmox ve, nor in immich. That one begins wth 192.168 I tried it in immich app, and it worked straight away… It was with the line that had <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP> in it.
Thank you a million times over, only now I do not feel as relieved as I thought I would. I think this is a lot harder than I thought it would be, as now I have to get it working when I am not inside the same wifi…
It is bedtime for me now, thank you for your help, and everyone else. I will try and pick up where I left off tonight if I can remember what I need to do.
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Should the correct IP address be the public one that appears in ip a command?
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
I haven’t set up any port forwarding on router. As I was just practicing, I have installed proxmox on an older laptop that is connected (wired) to my router.
On another laptop in the same room, I can access to server and set up VM and then immich.
I followed this video first m.youtube.com/watch?v=kqZNFD0JNBc
And then this to install immich (which is mostly from the docker website and immich website) m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi5j-ZygALI
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
I have tried to disable firewall while I was on Debian, but there didn’t seem to be one to disable. I don’t think there is one on Ubuntu either unless it’s by default?
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thanks, it’s getting closer to time for bed, but I will try and give as much information as I can. I’m just afraid I don’t understand enough to give much information about it
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thanks, I will definitely be looking at those scripts. When I set up Proxmox VE initially, I have a 192.168.x.x IP address. I’ve tried that too, in immich app. No difference. But when I look up my IP address while using Ubuntu VM it gives me an IP address beginning with 5, which is the one I have been trying to access using immich.
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Thanks. Unfortunately I have tried it without /API at the end and get the same result.
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Not sure, I’m completely new to this and no idea how to check them
- Comment on Immich server is not reachable 3 months ago:
Hey, thanks for replying.
I tried portforwarding while I was Debian and it made no difference. I am trying to access on my own WiFi at home.
I haven’t tried reverse proxy as it is only something I came across today and was also looking at tailscale, but I don’t want to use 3rd party solutions yet if I can avoid it, hoping to learn. I’m completely new to this, and haven’t a clue what I’m. The main reason I tried the three os’s was to practice setting up proxmox with a VM as much as trying to find and fix the issue.

“Angry American that profits from promoting US companies that make trillions from gathering personal data, attacks Australia, calling the country stupid for attempting to protect it’s children from said companies”
- Comment on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube 3 months ago:
Mike Masnick writes with his agenda clear.
The anger-driven drivel is ironic given how many times he refers to Australia as stupid. It’s possibly the worst, most single sided article I’ve read in a long time, if not ever.
Taking one perspective and running with it, even his single sightedness is narrow from the side he sits on.
I presume he named the publication after the way he posts his agenda… Pure dirt.
Not a single mention of privacy issues other than age verification systems, which is fucking laughable. Fuck off Masnick with your bullshit.
