I'm kinda concerned that they don't give any server selfhosting instructions. And the F-Droid page warns:
NonFreeComp (the application includes non-free components): The app contains libraries of Google Mobile Services, Play Services, Firebase, Google Maps.
NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service): The app connects to Google servers (Play Services, Firebase (cloud messaging), Google Maps).
I find Pipepipe way more convenient for Youtube. However, Grayjay is what I use to have convenient Spotify on mobile.
I don't think this is a good idea still. First - the very fact that you bought crypto can be suspicious. Second - then your anonymity depends on the assumption that Monero wouldn't have flaws found in it later, which is just not a good approach with any technology, no matter how well-regarded. And third, most mundane - introduces yet another place from where your ID can leak.
Yes, they can block the protocols. The VPN protocols are pretty easily detected by DPI, and they might just not care about breaking things (like what I've seen). There are ways to obfuscate such traffic, though.
using it purely for tunneling without detection by my ISP. Anonymity would be more of a bonus.
I feel like people like you and me end up helping people who actually need anonymity - by creating a larger crowd :)
can’t go online if your webcam is off
I think spoofing a webcam should be pretty easy.
I wonder if Tor and I2P's other hops could eventually be obfuscated like bridges are now, so that a network could entirely exist within plain sight without being as blatant.
Thus this feature is a "nice-to-have" that should not be relied on.
No. That's why I wouldn't trust protections that depend on something serverside, like encryption in the web client.
...Yes, I just said that.
The comments below say "local transit app", but I don't get it - those could be proprietary and pretty invasive. So instead, I use the "undesired" maps in the browser. Both for when public transit arrives and for more up-to-date information on businesses.
I meant that the DPI can easily detect the fact that the connection is indeed Wireguard or OpenVPN.
