• another recommendation for mullvad

The blockchaim & finance topic doesn’t really affect me, as long as I can use it for watching videos then it works. (and I’m not helping google)

In regards to the hate content, I would rather have the ability to self censor these things (mute/block) then have the platform itself decide what I am allowed to see.

Ive been using these front ends for a while now and there are constant issues.

Ive switched to http://odysee.com

its now ad free, and Ive found that: mental outlaw, Louis Rossman, someordinarygamers, Brodie Robertson, tech lore, switched to linux, the Linux cast and loads of others are also on the platform.

Fair enough - we are agreed at least then that the default android os is awful for privacy.

Ive recently managed to do this;

Settings> Network & Internet> Hotspot & Tethering> Allow Clients To Use VPN

What I don’t understand though, doesn’t using mullvad automatically set their own DNS?

Had a similar issue as did one of my friends with pixels, which is unfortunate as grapheneos is one hell of a operating system.

After having 2 different pixels break (planned obsolescence) I ended up settling for a fairphone (which I can easily repair and replace parts myself with e/os - but divestOS also looks promising.

Would flatpak mitigate this?
