Check out the video of our SplinterCon talk at @rightscon 2025 where @mallory and I explore "The Future of VPNs". We dive deep into why embracing decentralization is key to overcoming censorship and how we can build a more resilient internet for everyone. Learn about innovative approaches beyond traditional VPNs.
