It might contribute in some small aesthetic way to deterring them, which seems a much better ambition.

If that is a big problem, one alternative is to get a post office box.
1984 was written in 1948, after fascists had already demonstrated that capitalism is quite compatible with totalitarianism.

Aside from not wanting to rely on the same one as everyone else in the world, setting up port forwarding on proton looks unreasonably complicated.
Currently on Azire. There aren’t many left and I wanted to support one of the slightly less well-known ones. It works well enough.
In my years of using mullvad (before they took away port forwarding) I found probably half a dozen websites that blocked me based on that but it may be more common now. Often I found it was easy to get around it using Tor. Some of the smaller and better-run sites might fix the problem if you report it to them through the proper channels.
… not that I especially trust Monero much; not even as much as Tor. What I object to is the tendency to be too quick to go ahead with the assumption that it probably has been broken even in the total absence (such as in this thread so far) of any evidence to demonstrate that.
It’s the same misguided instinct that leads people to believe that all encryption is futile, that the NSA already knows all the keys no matter what we do. It’s not really true. It is true they can easily compromise the security and privacy of any one of us normal people they choose to single out, but for those of us who don’t practise unreasonably strict op-sec the point of choosing secure and private modes of communication (including monero if your sense of morality allows for the use of a proof-of-work cryptocurrency) is not to protect one target against all possible threat models. And it’s not only to protect against lesser threats. Much of the time the most important thing is to contribute to the effort to make it impossible for anyone to systematically spy on the whole world all at once. Nobody should have that power.
Well then, what specific research do you have suggesting that monero has been broken? After all it is not in any way a “black box”. The algorithm is well known.
I too don’t know much about monero specifically, however:
Parallel construction is still a thing, yes. But so is spreading the false idea that everything is already compromised so there’s no point trying to defend yourself.
Do they have the slightest idea how much damage it would do to the international reputation of Europe if they were to make e.g. Signal illegal? I suppose some of them do, which is why it hasn’t passed before.
It has been falsely claimed that the measure undertaken by MCMC is a draconian measure
While it may be unclear exactly what kind of Internet traffic laws Draco would’ve written, allowing only the major landowners to run DNS servers does seem to be in keeping with the spirit of “aiding and legitimizing the political power of the aristocracy and allowing them to consolidate their control of the land and poor” as his laws are said to have done.
If you have time for an answer in audio form the CBC has some ideas.
They remove telemetry, such as the kind of telemetry causing the problems reported in this thread. They do not remove OCSP, safe browsing, Sync, and other things that connect to outside servers and therefore leak information about user activity. They do enable about:config so that those which are unwanted can be disabled.
Fennec F-Droid suffices to remove the telemetry.
Oh, that makes sense. Setting it to “strict” mode may be the thing I vaguely remember doing to make sure it was active in 2022.
What they need to do: Ban the practice of showing ads to people based on surveillance data, for a start.
What they will do: Demand that more data be collected to determine which users are children and therefore worthy of protection.
