What's the quality of openvpn? Should I just use IPSec?
What's the quality of openvpn? Should I just use IPSec?

an audit of openvpn was actually finished today.

the openvpn codebase is tiny relative to the pos openssl libraries it uses
Owen Ortiz
OpenVPN doesn't try to prevent leaks so you'll need to set up a kill switch / iptables. Make sure you use the option to drop from root privileges too.
Nathan Gonzalez
OpenVPN is fine if configured properly.
IPSec is kill.
If you don't want to learn to make proper configuration then no VPN will save your ass.
Christopher Jackson
If you want to run your own IPSec VPN with secure defaults
Ryan Taylor
it's not written in rust so shit
Luis Cook
I can't wat until logic bugs are exploited in rust.
Christian Torres
Was ipsec found to be fundamentally flawed in some way? I thought OpenBSDs implementation was pretty solid.
Gavin Anderson
it has to be exceptionally stupid code to make it happen
Ayden Rogers
We'll have to wait a bit for the results.
Ryan Mitchell
ok. i understand gov spying and flying under the radar to voice your opinion. but my question is, why would you need a vpn? what kind of thing requires completely masking your online location?
Jonathan Lewis
i dunno but that doesnt mean someone doesnt need it anyway
Jaxon King
VPN's are just for masking your location. 99% of VPN traffic on the internet is for business/enterprise.
Robert Sanders
ISPs should not know too much about user traffic.
Aaron Martinez
If you're not using libressl by now that's your problem.
Jack Ward
this i understand. now that title II is being taken apart, there will be a need for everyone to use vpn unless you want walmart buying your network traffic

The thing is, it doesn't solve the problem. It just moves it somewhere else.
Instead of your ISP tracking you, it will be your VPN's ISP(s).
Sure, you can avoid snooping from anyone between you and the VPN, but the moment your traffic reaches it, it's the same as nothing.
Plus now you have to trust your VPN's word not to leak, harvest, or sell your data.
Kayden Reyes
ikev2 (opeinked) is solid, in fact better as openvpn. the old ipsec is kill
Isaiah Lopez
Everything. Data is used to profile you. It could cripple your careers, your reputation, and can put you under the eye of government surveillance (which is a blatant invasion of privacy).
John Baker
I can't shitpost here without a VPN to my own box because of state-level internet censorship.
Nolan Lee
The audit results are in.

2 remote denial of service vulnerabilities were the most severe issue found. most of the attack surface is in the openssl libraries. ostif are planning to audit openssl next.

It was hilarious reading articles on Australian news papers suggesting VPNs should be used for privacy

my country is about to start blocking non compliant porn sites and force isps to log all visited sites
