@Greylinux @jonah there's probably a nunber of guides out there, but I've just learned things over the years... It's actually how I used to test remote client's internet connections.
Anyway, what you'd do is have a basic, cheap, VPS from any provider and country you desire and set it up for SSH access, and I think it's "AllowTcpForwarding yes" that needs to be set in sshd_config.
Then you'd connect to it with your client machine with the-D $portparameter, i.e.ssh -D 3080 $server
Then in your web browser, you'd set up the proxy settings under SOCKS to your loopback address and the port specified i.e. SOCKS: 127.0.0.1 3080.
And that's it, any traffic from that browser will go through your loopback, to the SSH server, then off to the internet. I believe there's an option of sending DNS requests that way too in the web browser. You do need to leave the SSH session open, for obvious reasons.
Of course, only the traffic from the web browser will use this route, so you'd need to set it up in different applications' proxy config if you want them to use it too.Obviously, care should be taken to secure the ssh endpoint as much as possible, either through blocklistd, fail2ban, etc. or just allowing connections via a specific IP address

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”
A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.
Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.
And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw

@jonah we definitely don't have space to lock anyone up on the pretext they might have committed a crime. But I agree with the sentiment.

@jonah VPN ban -> Ah, people can install WireGuard on a Hetzner droplet -> mandatory age verification for web hosting, etc., etc., ad infinitum.

@rastilin @paul @Greylinux @jonah If this law ever does come in, the law makers will have a lot of fun trying to define what a "VPN" is.
At the basic level, it's just an encrypted network tunnel between two computers. Something that is logically and mathematically impossible to ban.

@utf_7 @aral @jonah Mankind is headed (due to the will of the powers that be) to some dramatic shift of things. I hope this whole thing won't be the least of our worries. As always, bad times for the ordinary people. On the US front (and as a lesson to the whole wolrd that still has some form of elections) be careful what you vote and for those who don't... tell us what you think about your mantra "things can't get worse" or "nothing changes".

@jonah Lots of people use VPNs all day every day. There's this thing called "working from home".

@TimWardCam @jonah I've twice worked in offices where everything was routed through the mothership via VPN.
Looking forward to seeing the gov call international banks a bunch of child endangering bastards any day now.

@kenobit la buona notizia è che comunque anche se decidi di non ripararlo e di comprarne invece uno "nuovo" il mercato del second hand è sterminato. Per me la tecnologia nuova da scaffale non esiste praticamente più se non in rarissimi casi in cui magari voglio la console nuova appena uscita o qualcosa di simile, veramente una volta ogni molti molti anni. Per me comprare usato ha un grande valore a livello di sostenibilità.

Ravenna: se i medici non fanno i carcerieri
@anarchia
di Vito Totire (*). Con due immagini del mix odio-bugie contro chi disobbedisce al razzismo di Stato. Basta “caccia alle streghe”… La storia si ripete: pare che il tribunale di Ravenna abbia ritenuto giusto sanzionare i medici dell’ospedale accusati di...https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/ravenna-se-i-medici-non-fanno-i-carcerieri/
