    As the speed of your internet connection increases, there will be a point where disk I/O becomes the limiting factor. At this point you’ll want to rent a VM with a decent amount of RAM and use tmpfs to host your local machine’s swap space in memory.



  • It’s like an internet glory hole. It stops the people monitoring your broadband from seeing exactly where you’re browsing and what you’re viewing, and it stops the people who run those websites from seeing exactly who you are.

    But it’s entirely possible for your broadband provider to see that you’re standing at a glory hole with your junk out. And the people serving you the website can also see your junk through the hole.

    I think this counts as misinformation. How old is the ‘news’ source depicted in the top right?

    I’m not aware that there are any plans to actually ban VPN use - that would be pretty ridiculous. What I am aware of is that members of the UK parliament are considering demanding that VPN providers verify the ages of their clients; but this is a bit of a different issue to the one insinuated in the post.
