Thanks will check this out
@Gabi
I prefer tailscale, its easy to set up and amazingly secure . Based off wireguard.
If you’re really worried you can even self host the token authentication

Have you used outline as well? Can I ask which aspects you prefer? Outline works well through the great firewall because it’s based on shadowsocks and is difficult to distinguish from standard web traffic, as opposed to wireguard.
I haven’t tried tail scale yet but neither unfortunately have a minimal-hands-on setup for less technical people (something like just giving your public cloud creds and a guided setup), but outline was pretty simple and reliable.
@Gabi
No, i haven’t used outline, I chose tailscale because there’s a good plugin for Unraid, which is the OS im running on my server.
I wouldn’t consider myself very technical either, the tutorials available online are very straightforward

Tailscale by itself does not change your outbound IP address to 3rd party servers. To be more specific you need an exit node with Tailscale, and for a small fee per month Tailscale does offer Mullvad exit nodes.
@Gabi
Why is it surprising? Have you actually paid any attention to what the last 30 years of governments in Oz have been doing? Take, take, take. Restrict, restrict, restrict. We are living in tyranny light. It’s as though they are trying to emulate China.
@Gabi
Ain’t that the truth!!
@Gabi
Is this a good vpn?
@Gabi
I run a VPS on Oracle Cloud that I route my traffic through and yes quite a few providers outright block your traffic. All the IP ranges of these servers are publicly published so they can blacklist them easily if they want to. There’s not many legitimate reasons a VPS needs to access a social media directly as a user, any hosted stuff would be going via the programming API. You’ll find you can’t get far on the social sites without logging into an account if you are using one of these VPS IPs.
@Gabi
Is this trustworthy? I just wanna know before installing it.
@Gabi
I remember when the Darwin City Mayor and/or NTG wanted to introduce the same surveillance camera system that China uses to try and combat youth crime… That idea, was very quickly shut down.

Probably there needs to be a public discussion on what level of surveillance and monitoring do we think is needed, and are we comfortable with, the impacts
Facebook etc can generally tell if u are on a VPN.

They won’t do shit, because people access Facebook through work VPN’s all the time

Yeah but they can tell the difference between those and most of the commercial vpn offerings.
@Darcy
If you just buy one from a big offering sure, but Facebook won’t give a fuck because they won’t know where the host is coming from
Only Australia is implementing this, so they aren’t going to suddenly block every nord server in Sweden
@Payne
Facebook just has to say when you create an account you can’t do so from an IP that’s listed as belonging to a VPN. I’m not saying they will but if social media sites try to enforce this vigorously then it will be harder to circumevent then people think.
@Darcy
>you create an account you can’t do so from an IP that’s listed as belonging to a VPN
A VPN doesn’t require a VPN service provider. I could just as easily pay a random American $20 a month to VPN into their network. I would appear to social media as living in that American’s household.
@Graydon
This comment is empty, admin should fix
@Darcy
They aren’t going to do that for the entire world because of an Australian law.
