Free internet
Recently my local town rolled out free broadband to everyone in the area.

What does this mean?

IT'S A TRAP.

They record every thing you say and do, fuck using that. I'd happily keep paying to not use that service. Shit I know my ISP keeps tabs on everything anyway, but fuck any council having that info.

No Jow Forums then.

dont click that its a gateway drug

this fucking thread again? for fucjs saje man, move out of your shitehole

I was looking into buying a house and noticed a few gated neighborhoods that offer cable and internet similarly as part of the HOA agreement, so who knows what they are up to

Will a VPN not protect you?

If done right, couldn't you just packet sniff the whole town this way?

Pennis

and then what? pretty sure they woukd detect MItM setups

I'm not saying they couldn't but I don't put merit in large, non-tech organizations (i.e. a city) securely running something the size of city-wide WiFi. Plus, if it's truly anonymous like the ToS suggests (I doubt it is) then it's not like they'd even know who it is.

Speaking on internet, i got just the solution for your problems!

some SJW piece of shit on the staff might know a thing or too, are you sure they wouldn't have tried to recruit someone who actually knew their shit? you can try, but also their security might be handled by an outside source and monitored

>corrupted files
That's bullshit. You can't prevent network anomalies that will corrupt the data.

as an ISP they have to keep a trace of your traffic
you can use a vpn
protip: it's the law. they keep everything for 12 months

t. my job

It means you have a right to request that data be provided to you, updated or deleted, or not collected at all if it is not critical for the provision of the service (they could probably make a case that it is for abuse prevention, I'm no lawyer).

Where are you? Not all countries have mandatory data retention, not even close.

benis

Fair points, but to circle back to my original point, would it or would it not be possible to packet sniff the entire town. I mean, in the right hands, certainly not my own mind you, that much data could be invaluable. Think of how many people you could extort.

well they'll still be able to see and record the MAC address of whatever network interface you connect with, even if they can't read your traffic due to a VPN. So you might want to randomize your MAC address before connecting to it.

Remember to watch out for DNS leaks and such.

A well configured VPN will make it infeasible for them to discern anything other than which VPN you're using, which device you're using and whatever they can get out of bandwidth inspection (for example even through TLS loading a video has a fairly specific bandwidth usage profile and can be spotted, but nothing about which video can be determined).
In practice even a poorly configured VPN will do it, this is Clare Country Council we're talking about, a rural Irish council that does exciting things like fixing the roads and providing drinking water, not exactly the NSA.

>randomize MAC address
Any idea how to do that on Android?

Is ProtonVPN good enough?

Is Tunnel Bear actually good?

Really? I can request the data they have on me? Won't that look suspicious? How do they present the data - they email it to me or something?

Possible? of course, its like asking if its possibke to crack a safe, anythings possible
the issue is the possible detection and jail time you'd be facing
let's say you got the invaluable info you wanted, what are you going to do with it then? if you think Tor or other "deep web" networks aren't monitored nowadays, you're only kidding yourself

>this is Clare Country Council we're talking about, a rural Irish council that does exciting things like fixing the roads and providing drinking water, not exactly the NSA.
kek, true

>I can request the data they have on me?
Yes, that's one of the rights granted by the GDPR, I've emailed to request it from a couple services in the past and others (Google, Etsy, Coinbase and Discord for examples) provide it as an automated service.

>How do they present the data - they email it to me or something?
Any time I've asked for it I've gotten an email with a bunch of attached JSON files. The GDPR doesn't specify how it is to be provided except saying it must be available in "machine readable format" and I think a general suggestion that you shouldn't make it obnoxiously difficult to use to dissuade people from exercising their rights.

>Won't that look suspicious?
Uh, sure? You can't stop them from thinking "wow this looks suspicious".

Assuming SSL is working as intended, shouldn't the most they'll be able to see is where you're going DNS-wise? I can't imagine a city ISP is going to go full-on glow in the dark on you

it's the EU, i wouldn't want to assume incorrectly

>Is Tunnel Bear actually good?
Probably not.
Even linus himself abandoned it when they got bought.

>Assuming SSL is working as intended, shouldn't the most they'll be able to see is where you're going DNS-wise?
Excluding the bandwidth inspection I mentioned earlier, yes. They might be able to MiTM you though if you're not checking your certificates carefully, or identify what pages you're browsing through unencrypted assets loaded on the pages (many websites serve images unencrypted for example).

>city ISP
I doubt this is a city by your standards, it's a town of 25,000 people in rural Ireland.

Thank you. I might request my data to see what comes back. I presume I give them my IP address or something.

>we're providing a service free of charge
>BUT you're not allowed to be an asshat while using it
oh no what ever will you do

There are people who DON'T block all mixed content?

You give them your MAC address (if they're bothering to collect it), which is the hardware identifier assigned uniquely to every network interface (WiFi/Ethernet/etc.). It can be spoofed on desktops/laptops usually. Your IP address is (usually) given to you by the next link in the chain, so when you connect up they assign you an IP address from a pool of them.

>There are people who *
Yes.

You're an asshat by my definition.
Say goodbye to your internet.
And exodia

>this is Clare Country Council we're talking about, a rural Irish council that does exciting things like fixing the roads and providing drinking water, not exactly the NSA.
Then again, that could well mean that they ain't running this infrastructure, but instead contracted out to some firm that specializes in setting up hotspots. That firm may well be actively malicious and trying to track you.

Well my friend, if you're monitoring your users like that, then you're not protected by the safe harbor exemptions, and thus is liable for all the copyright violations that happen to happen on your network.
I gonna tell RIAA and MPAA about the 200 million in damages you own em.

this is what I touched on earlier, they might deploy MitM, but they would damn sure be able to detect one themselves

>you must not use the internet for porn
Well, there goes half the internet. OP, just get a VPN. It's still cheaper than paying for your own internet access.

Isn't WPA supposed to use different keys for each client on the network?

Just use HTTPS.

WPA3, which is standardized but doesn't exist in real "i can buy hardware on amazon that does it" form, will. With WPA2, the only secret material is the password you enter to associate with the access point, everything else that keys are derived from is public, so anyone who knows the password can read the traffic of anyone on the access point, unless they've encrypted it themselves at a higher layer (HTTPS, etc)

It's an excuse to be able to terminate service for anyone they want at will, hence the extremely vague and generalized rules.

What are you, a nazi terrorist?

Know of a httpseverywhere app for Android?

>for Android

How about you use a real operating system instead, where you can set your firewall to block port 80?

Not exactly true. They were bought by an american company, so it's not that it wasn't good, just that they couldn't trust it anymore as it was subject to US laws. So yes it was good, and no, it's not good anymore.

If you're gonna use it make sure you use a VPN, preferably a paid one like pia.
