After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots

For the closed internet, again, there are decentralized ecosystems on their blockchain like Utopia P2P. Web3 projects can also be attributed here. There, the main snag is that you need to transfer all your surroundings there, but in any case, the connection with the majority will remain in the telegram) Not everyone is ready to switch to third-party software.

It seems like a new update has been released in Utopia P2P, which allows you to surf the Internet anonymously and quickly through an anonymous browser. I think this will definitely help to minimize the risk of our personal data being stolen.

I think the point here is not the theft of personal data, but the convenience of Internet surfing. Which is especially true for the CIS countries, where many resources were blocked for one reason or another, and in order to get to them, you need to buy VPN. And here you can easily access all possible sites without additional software and expenses.

Yes, the advantage of web proxies is that they can help you bypass restrictions and access blocked websites. Also, using third-party apps while connected to a VPN can compromise your privacy as they may not be secure.

What about third party apps? The bottom line is that no matter how expensive VPN you buy, there is a chance that there will be a jump in it, even a second, which will contribute to the leak of your real IP. Therefore, many build their anonymity in many stages. But in general, if you are not doing anything illegal, but just want to read a blocked resource, this is not so scary. Unless it's extremist media, of course)

Only a simple Internet user believes that VPN will make him anonymous. In fact VPN is the most non-anonymous thing you can do. Whatever VPN use you will still be found if necessary. VPN was created in order to protect your connection from hackers to make your traffic more secure. But it is not designed for anonymity.

[Zardbeig]

It's important to note that VPNs do not make you completely invisible online. Your internet service provider (ISP) and VPN provider will still have access to your data, and in some cases, may be able to track your online activity. Additionally, your VPN provider may be required to share your data with law enforcement or government agencies under certain circumstances.

[Marryan]

Considering that you can get a large fine for downloading pirated content if the VPN service transfers your data, a very unpleasant situation can happen to you. Therefore protecting your data is important not only for hackers but also for ordinary users.

[Zardbeig]

One of the biggest risks associated with using a VPN is that some providers may keep logs of your online activity, which can potentially be accessed by law enforcement or other authorities. If you are using a VPN to access pirated content or engage in other illegal activities, this could put you at risk of fines or other legal consequences.

To avoid this risk, it is important to choose a VPN provider that has a strict no-logging policy and takes steps to protect your privacy and security. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the laws in your country and avoid engaging in any activities that could put you at risk of legal consequences.

[Marryan]

This risk cannot be avoided. Every VPN service claims that it does not store logs, but these are just big words. It's impossible not to store them. Yes, some can delete them quickly within 2-3 days, while others keep them for months. In any case, if someone is interested in your actions and he has a lot of power, it is very likely that your logs will fall into the hands of special services. So do not be fooled by the fact that the VPN protects you completely. As soon as they want to find you, they will do it very easily.

While it's true that there is always a risk when using a VPN, it's important to note that not all VPNs are created equal. Some VPN services have more advanced security features and privacy protections than others. Additionally, using a VPN can still be an effective way to protect your online activity from prying eyes, particularly if you are using public Wi-Fi or accessing websites or services that may be blocked in your country. It's always important to do your research and choose a reputable VPN service that takes your privacy seriously. That being said, it's always important to be aware of the risks and take steps to protect your privacy and security online.

If you connect to a public wi-fi network, you 100% need to turn on the VPN before you can do anything. Scammers can be in the same building and connect to the same network to intercept the traffic of everyone using that network. By enabling the VPN you will secure your connection.

[Zardbeig]

Using a VPN is a great way to protect your online privacy and security when using public Wi-Fi networks. A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and masks your IP address, making it virtually impossible for anyone to intercept or monitor your online activity.

[Marryan]

You can use not only a VPN, but also a proxy. For example, there is a browser that has a built-in proxy function and just 1 click allows you to connect a proxy and you will already be identified as a person from another country

[Zardbeig]

But as I've learned, the issue with proxies may be that you're not the only user. Or someone already used it before and they're already marked as spam ones on certain websites. Regarding the VPN I don't really know if there can be the same issue.
