Hello! Very interesting analytical and investigative work by Windscribe disclosing ties (even hidden ones) between VPN companies, publishers, review web sites. Click on node icons to read more details. Very sinister situation at a glance. Note for example how Crossrider (now Kape), well known malware company co-founded by a member of israeli Defense Forces Unit 8200, nowadays controls major VPNs and review web sites: https://embed.kumu.io/9ced55e897e74fd807be51990b26b415#vpn-company-relationships/control-d Kind regards

I'm sure that this isn't new information but OISD is discontinuing hosts/domains -syntax starting from January 1, 2024. Source: oisd.nl homepage

Wireguard only knows the AllowedIPs directive which indicates which IP ranges are to be routed via VPN. An exclusion must be done with so-called DisallowedIPs calculators which calculate a longer list of allowed IP ranges, excluding those you don't want to be routed. We had this just recently in another thread:.

I recommend using Invidious or Piped instances instead of YouTube directly. They don't serve ads by default. redirect.invidious.io provides a list of the healthiest Invidious instances. I personally use invidious.nerdvpn.de with an account there which tracks subscriptions and exposes them via RSS feed. Migrations from YouTube can be done by exporting watch history, playlists and subscriptions from YouTube and importing them in your preferred instance. For skipping sponsors, aka ads inside the video itself, there's SponsorBlock.

Was wondering if there are plans to make split tunnelling per application in Windows available (with Eddie)? I read on reddit a comment that said support mentioned that it's actively in development. Any truth in that and if yes, any news that can be shared?

Some recent config updating led to communication with Azire and some new info. On the Azire server-status page: their incoming/outgoing numbers are not like Air's. At Azire they are upload/download from the customer, so they are usually very different with outgoing (customer download) dominating. Also, they are in transition to a new back-end management system, and the status page reflects only the part of the system that has made that transition, so it may be awhile before it's fully accurate. Azire has also introduced an iOS app. The link on Azire's install page took my phone right to it, in the App store, but an App store search wouldn't find it for me. Intentional? They have also revised the install procedure for those routers, etc, that require creating config files on the Azire website. The new system allows up to 10 "devices," which seem to function like Air devices in that this is where user public keys are kept. it is possible to delete old devices to make room for new, which means they do not need to have wireguard key registrations expire on their own after several weeks of nonuse as before, which was always my big complaint about Azire. I haven't tested this nonexpiration conjecture yet, so YMMV. Azire's device system is still a bit raw, with devices identified not by names like at Air but by the interface IP addresses 10.X.Y.Z assigned to them. So it's not really a system for technical beginners. Overall, Air easily remains my favorite VPN service. I'd call Azire and Mullvad tied for my number two, with Mullvad winning for ease of use and a super-private registration scheme and Azire easily winning (over Mullvad, not Air) on server speed and reliability,
