Threema would be better and more private for that, huh? Actually use it for same purposes as you

Interesting, I know that’s paid only, does it have full search indexing and unlimited file storage though 🤔💭

Not sure but definitey look into it, Telegram is a scary thing. You're paying with them monetizing your shit

Thanks for the heads up 🙏

Off all things I don't want to be monetized, they can monetize my uptime-kuma and *arr alarms whatever they are worth.

I just dont have your trust of the Russians. I dont trust any company really but particularly not them. No good can come from anything like that

Again, not much to monetize from that:

At worst they could hack my phone. But then we'd have a different kind of problem.

You use a VPN at least?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Reverse proxy for unimportant, VPN for important

How do (reverse) proxies work?

Im only aware of terms like "Munchausens by Proxy" or "Proxy Wars" aha, seems to be some kind of stand in or something?

You are better served searching up on it by looking for networking guides.

Rudimentary it could be called a middleman facilitating the connection between two hosts (server and client)
