RethinkDNS v055v bringt mehr Kontrolle und ein neues Vertrauensproblem

RethinkDNS v055v bringt mehr Kontrolle. RPN setzt aber auf Cloudflare und Windscribe und schafft somit ein Vertrauensproblem.

@tarnkappeinfo Ich empfand #RethinkDNS von Anfang an als zumindest merkwürdig. Euer Artikel beweist das nur einmal mehr. Danke dafür :))))

@reverend @tarnkappeinfo I'm sorry, what does the article "prove"? We like to think we run this project as transparently as possible, so it is surprising folks find things strange. In fact, we have gone way out of our way to let users firewall Rethink with Rethink as if it was any regular app, just so they could block Crashlytics (even though it is opt-in). Note that, the F-Droid flavour doesn't have Crashlytics built-in.

@rdns @tarnkappeinfo Of course. This isn’t meant to be a criticism. Tarnkappe and I are also largely sceptical when we use something. It’s also about situations where people have to protect themselves in extreme circumstances – whistleblowers, opposition figures in every conceivable country.
That doesn’t detract from your work, and I really do respect it – otherwise I wouldn’t have mentioned it at all.
I know this nit-picking is annoying. Just take it as a compliment that people are interested – a big one. Cheers!

@reverend @tarnkappeinfo Gotcha. The article compares Rethink w/ Tailscale & Mullvad, which is apples to oranges but:

Tailscale uses AWS & Fly.io, both of which are US based; but derides Rethink for doing so

Mullvad, is mandated by Swedish law, to retain KYC for 7yrs; & is also subject to both Swedish & EU laws which require "secret" logging by VPNs in criminal cases, which Mullvad said they'll abide by. Yet, demeans Rethink's Windscribe (Canada) integration as it is in "5-eyes"

It's not fair
