The Chinese Great Firewall (GFW) has already been using machine learning to detect "illegal" traffics. The arms race is moving towards the Cyberpunk world where AIs are battling against an AI firewall.

Careful criticizing China you will awake the Tankies.
One day those tankies people here keep talking about are going to show up.
One day.
I always check under my bed each night to make sure there's no tankies.
After I blocked hexbear and similar instances I haven't scene them which is nice. Occasionally I'll see a Lemmy world one but that is pretty rare.
I’d say they are more common on Lemmy.ml than Lemmy.world
Lemmy.world has many tankies. You keep seeing them pretend israel is not committing Genocide and America needs to kill all student protesters Tiannenmen style. They are also called liberals
Lemmy.ml does not have many tankies.
That's one of the reasons why I love Mullvad, they actually care about their customers, not just about their bottom line
I wonder how much of a bottom line they actually have given how cheap their service is.
Mullvad is 5 bucks a month and never has promos.
Weigh that against Nord which often has a year for like 15 bucks...
But Mullvad is one of the few that actually seems to care about privacy.
No port forwarding really kills the utility though - I mainly use the VPN to do port forwarding (e.g. for video games, Plex, etc.) as my ISP is shit.
Like I'm not worried about state-level de-anonymisation, I just want to be able to share services remotely and have a minimum level of anonymity.
Alternative maybe i2p or tor network. Or make vpn to anon vps and host from there.
Port forwarding removed because hosting threatened to kick mullvad out. Lot of shit hosted through that. No hosting, no vpn, so needed to remove to continue operate.
Port forwarding means torrents. People using a VPN to torrent likely have much more traffic, especially those that seed (which is why they want port forwarding). Not enabling port forwarding means mullvlad can operate at a higher profit to cost ratio, and less risk.
That's what mullvlad say. It's not necessarily the reason why they don't offer port forwarding.
It was always possible for them to continue allowing port forwarding. They could use separate servers for those that want port forwarding, stopping any impact port forwarding had on those customers.
If so easy to fix issue, why not make company and fix it?
