Mullvad VPNLooking to be a star on CCTV?
Andy Fletcher@mullvadnet I've used your service for several years now out of a few countries.
It simply works and I can usually find a working node even when the local telco is blocking IP addresses and various protocols.

Ok, but that type of ad gets folks used to scaning unknown QR codes.
A bad actor could post the same flyer with a QR code that loads a virus onto your phone.
Watchful Citizen@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet if scanning a QR code can silently wreck your phone then that's an OS problem not a Mullvad ad problem.
@GrapheneOS avoids this with sandboxing at multiple layers if I'm not wrong.

Congrats, for being more technically superior than the rest of us peasants.

HKJV@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet Hi, i think that's why they put the link down the QR😅.
But of course, you have to see the link... (You have to be near)
jarinks@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet read qr links before opening them
@jarinks @mullvadnet
Most QR code links are encoded, or made into tiny links. So best practice would still be to not trust any links you get from a QR code.

@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet probably sure that a hardened browser is better than just not scanning any qrs
@jarinks @mullvadnet
> hardened browser
What is that?
There is no QR code which I need to scan. Especially random ones off a sticker on a pole.
@notyourfanboy @mullvadnet secure firefox fork with containers and proxies and other widgets
and I always check the url for redirects before scanning it
on modern phonws, "clicking a link" wont immediately install 3018 viruses and your browser shouldnt even have the "Install Unknown Apps" perm
@mullvadnet even if I didn't need your service I would pay for it just to help fund your AMAZING ads. Keep it up!
@mullvadnet is it CCTV? Or a webcam. One of them isn't publicly accessible with script kiddy tools and is only looked at if there is a problem or a crime. The other is an invasion of public privacy. (We have a right to exist in the public without being surveiled and logged by an algorithm 24/7.)
CCTVs that are a closed system with no internet access around a public business are not a problem. A closed system around a city or county is.
Gregly@nowayeast @mullvadnet That’s all well and good until you get someone in office who decides to weaponize the CCTV network against his political enemies.
What do you suppose Trump would do with a CCTV network as extensive as the UK’s? I can imagine, and it’s *not* pretty.
(Edit: never mind, I see you were referring to private business-run CCTV cameras, not state-sponsored surveillance networks. So we’re in agreement!)
@gregly @mullvadnet yeah if its an IP camera I don't count that as CCTV unless Its air gapped and its abnormal to pull video off.
