You might have heard of Tor already, yet never dared to try it yourself.

@plutarch curious - what are some other anon networks? I’ve only ever heard of tor
Off the top of my head, I2P. There might be more that I haven't heard of or can't remember offhand. I2P is the next most common after Tor AFAIK, although it's not a close second by any means. I don't know enough about (both or either of) them to be able to say if one's objectively better than the other.

And the networking-magic of "hidden services" let's you easily make your services running on a PC in your homenetwork be reachable from everywhere without a static IP from your ISP. -
Use Tor, I2P, whatever you like - if you use a vpn use mullvad, and remember, loose lips sink ships.
@technolyze I forgot, you asked if it was just DDoS

@Em0nM4stodon I started using Tor in 2015. Without Tor, I would be unable to join Mastodon and post here, because almost everything I say and boost is outlawed in my country. The regime considers my very system of beliefs illegal and will imprison me for any public misstep no matter how small.
Tor is freedom!

@Em0nM4stodon As a nice bonus, I just blocked a few trolls spreading long-debunked lies against Tor in the comments here.
The "never dared to try it" you noted is no accident. People are being actively misled by trollbots. Open any thread about Tor anywhere and you'll be instantly hit with a wave of FUD. Sadly, it's true even about Mastodon.
