“hiding inside” of it? No no, the whole point is surveillance with full KYC. With the end goal being digital ID and CBDC and social credit scores. What the authorities consider to be correct behavior will earn points and if you so much as breathe a syllable of a question about why they’re making you do something you’ll lose points and you’ll be locked out of things that didn’t require an ID to get into before, possibly even access to a grocery store or any other place or service you could get food from

But if you use a VPN regularly, like always, suddenly seeing a different type of traffic would look weird

VPNs are commonly used by all kinds of people for mundane things. any kind of darknet kind of stuff is often associated with illegal activity and will be seen as suspicious by your internet provider

again, it can’t just be any VPN, Proton, Mullvad, Nym…and maybe iVPN if you don’t care about the number of locations you can connect through.

you also want to have a few other things open. Anything that makes additional noise in the connection. Even if you use Mullvad’s Daita feature, it’s good to have some extra noise being made while darknet-stuff is being used

oh…I skipped over the primary purpose. If they give you the third degree about using a VPN just say that you use it to keep yourself safe from crazy people online. You can’t play that plausible deniability card with things like snowflake and Tor, but you can with a VPN that’s available to average consumers

it would prevent your internet provider from seeing the activity of other people connecting through your PC

never do it without a VPN, a good one that has a long, proven track record of recording nothing

you can use those websites to find out who needs to be contacted.

I really hope motorolla just does a regular unaltered Graphene OS and not some skinned version of it
