Very good. Protect them from the cia.

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com -2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The protection is awesome... Even good enough to block any connection to other nations for protection...

And when the regime in collapsing, it protects you even from communicating with other protestors in your own country. 🙃

protection level 100

Yep. Now try in tor* browser in strict mode. Not everyone can use unsafe browsers

[–] derek@infosec.pub 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

What browser are you using and with what plugins?

[–] eclipse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Strict mode is most likely referring to the Tor Browser.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 6 days ago

Tor Browser. No plugins.

I would be surprised if Western countries aren't interested.
