I have just downloaded and successfully tested the RC2 on a PureOS 10 (debian 10 testing derivative) system. Works wonderfully and super fast on server Chamaeleon (US) with a cha-cha-20 cipher. Thank you very much for the hard work you put into this.

this has to be a joke.

I'm pleased to report 1.0 RC2 seems to be working very well for me on Slackware Linux 14.2 stable. The client took my existing OpenVPN config with no changes, IPv4 and IPv6 both run seamlessly, DNS is properly pushed, the iptables settings seem to check out, and performance appears markedly better than I'm accustomed to seeing with OpenVPN 2.4.6. Nicely done! Questions/Feedback: Is there a way to mute replay warnings (ala --mute-replay-warnings option in OpenVPN v2)? How do I set the location of the PID file (ala --writepid)? This client seems to have no way to call external scripts (ala --up and --down). While of lesser importance now that client can update /etc/resolv.conf without openresolv, this remains a useful feature to control external processes. Would you please consider adding this at some point in the future?

It seems only recently that some browser makers are taking fingerprinting seriously. Running multiple browsers seems like a good solution until you realise that most browsers still reveal far too much distinctive detail about the software and device they are running on. Unless you run these browsers in isolation from one another (e.g., in specially configured VM instances), it is more likely that each browser will only create another distinctive fingerprint to be correlated with your other browser "identities". (And it probably won't take long for that to happen.) If you're particularly concerned with browser fingerprinting Tor Browser is probably your best choice. Although it still stumbles a little in making all TB users look exactly the same (a fundamental intent in its design), TB is still far more aggressive in this aspect than other mainstream browsers. Incidentally, with version 9.0 Tor Browser now enables "letterboxing" functionality intended to help mitigate the browser viewport fingerprinting you touched on. Because it is always troublesome to do online banking and shopping with either Tor Browser or lynx, I use yet another browser almost exclusively for these purposes. I find it very annoying (and a waste of my time) to have to use three browsers. Certainly, but only a degree — your screen resolution is just one of many attributes the machine learning algorithms use to separate you from other users.
