To be fair, would they even notice? Country probably has like 8 computers running Win 98.
They almost certainly bring in more via external domain registrations than in-country domain registrations.

The actual root nameservers and domain registry for the country are run by a company called Bahnhof which appears to be Swedish.
 
All bullshit aside. God bless ToR. Who woulda thought a government funded way to hide your identity online would allow us to talk about Maddox and Chris-chan in such glorious freedom.

Bless you ToR and Merry Christmas each and every .onion....
And the website isn't even that much slower compared to using it on the clearnet, which is pretty cool. Most sites are like 10-15% the speed, whereas I don't really notice a difference.

Tor has really come up to speed in the past few years. It used to be pig-slow at the best of times. Frankly I suspect a lot of the really high speed reliable nodes are run by glowies but glowies really aren't in my threat profile anyway (other than Janky Janke).

It definitely helps that we finally, FINALLY, persuaded null that having chat on every single page even when unwanted in a tiny barely visible window was bogging things down.
 
I can no longer access kiwifarms.st via my TDS provider. I can access via my phone when it's disconnected from my home Internet.

Reactions: ram ranch dressing
There is something hilarious about some of the most powerful men in the world malding and seething, and yet being unable to take down a site that mostly laughs at trannies and fat people. So much for having any influence worth jack when one hobby site is beyond your reach
lmao. sneed indeed, the recent DDoS is just the icing on the cake. I wonder if the people actually performing the attacks are using the money for something good, if it's the same people every time then they must have amassed quite a nest egg already

So my home Internet doesn't load the farms but my phone does when it is on data. I am not in any state where @Null is filing a legal dispute. So I have no idea what's going on
 
edit: Someone else mentioned that turning on IPv6 on mullvad is a bad idea unless you know what you're doing. I believe this is only the case if you in fact have a bad network setup - for most people it should be fine. I understand why they leave it off by default though. The vast majority of users have no idea about IPv6 or how to firewall it properly, among other things. Most consumer retail routers just handle it auto-magically because they figure the average home user will fuck it up if they expose route and firewall settings for it and such. This is a concern because IPv6 can precisely identify your *specific device* on the internet, not just your NATed router like with IPv4. This is why mobile devices will often pull multiple IPv6 addresses (if it can) and change them randomly, and use different ones randomly for separate outbound internet connections to different destinations (although it keeps a static one for inbound, if you have a need for it). It's best to make sure your PC is setup to do this too, Mullvad is probably concerned that many people don't have properly configured PC's for it.

Just FYI to anyone who cares, Mullvad VPN supports WireGuard and IPv6 (I'm on it now and accessing everything over IPv6 fine). You may have heard of it as the VPN provider that the Swedish police raided, with a valid court order for any and all information about a specific German customer, and walked away with nothing, zilch. It's my opinion that everyone should be using them at least for now. Their Swedish servers are also protected by the Swedish telecom law which prohibits wiretapping of VPNs - for whatever reason their legislature is uninterested in weakening that part of the law, which is great. As such, I connect to their servers in Sweden, which has almost no effect on the usability of the internet. Get 50 Mb/s or more easily. The only thing that lags a bit is initial connection/TCP session setups.

You can pay Mullvad with cash through the mail (no return address or other identifying info, just a cash code they give you when you connect to their site and put in your account number, you just write it on a slip of paper and put it in with the cash) and Monero. Those are their two most recommended methods, but they support many others that are less private. I am in the US and pay them with mailed cash every year just fine (monero is a pain in the ass to buy securely/anonymously) which works just fine for me as I don't consider the USPS or swedish PostNord Sverige a threat vector for myself personally (I'm not a criminal or degenerate :smug:). Worst thing that can happen is the mail gets lost and you lose some cash.
