#Utiq is a joint venture by four major European telecom operators (Orange, Deutsche Telekom, Telefónica, Vodafone) that replaces third-party cookies with ISP-level tracking. #VPNs, #Tor, #DNS encryption - anything that encrypts your traffic so the ISP can't inject the Utiq signal into your connections. Standard ad-blockers won't block it because it's not in the page content - it's in the network layer.

- But in terms of privacy, I'd rather recommend Tor.
- Still I have to give you guys cudos for your
OnionServiceand pro-privacy setup, and I think that Tor over VPN is a valid strategy on the go…
