Nearly half of Americans use a virtual private network (VPN), and despite that—or perhaps because of it—companies, organizations, and governments are increasingly working to block those who use VPNs from accessing their websites.
The game of cat and mouse isn’t cute. It’s bulls**t. Privacy is a human right, and while companies can argue that it’s their platforms and websites, so it’s their rules, the idea about rights is that companies (among others) don’t get to decide when, where, and how rights are permissible.
Mullvad, maker of one of my favorite VPNs, has released a new technology called QUIC obfuscation to make it more difficult for VPN blockers to detect that you’re using Mullvad VPN and block you from accessing a website or service.
