Who wants to live in a country that taxes you, treats you as a criminal, doesn't give you a real long term visa. Anyway, you replied to a sarcastic post of me which tries to call out this ridiculous tax and the 'go back to your home country' Aseanow brigade.

It's a very good bet. The mad brute, the US, is going down, which is a good thing. Everybody loves China because they want to make everybody rich without interfering in national politics.

China has spoken and Thailand decided to side with China and leave the Titanic (USA). China doesn't like it's citizens going on a weed holiday to Thailand. And that's the end of it.

"All VPNs that the researchers tested are affected by the vulnerability called “TunnelVision” – they claim to have informed over 50 manufacturers about the security problem." https://www.heise.de/news/Tunnelvision-Angreifer-koennen-VPNs-aushebeln-und-Daten-umleiten-9710188.html Please give me a verifiable source for that claim.

Next time Adolf is in power again, please remember that phrase! 😊

Well, as a German you should know that 'I have nothing to hide' doesn't lead to less surveillance. If people have nothing to hide, why are they using a VPN anyway, right. They found that 50 of the vendors that they tested were vulnerable. Also, OpenVPN, the most used VPN software is vulnerable in standard configuration. So, saying not 'all VPNs are affected' just because you can modify it or prevent it, is really not helping. Affected VPN Providers and VPN Protocols We found that VPNs that solely rely on routing rules to secure the host’s traffic are vulnerable. https://www.leviathansecurity.com/blog/tunnelvision

Security researchers say this scary exploit could render all VPNs useless VPNs are no longer safe if these security researchers are right. https://www.zdnet.com/article/security-researchers-say-this-scary-exploit-could-render-all-vpns-useless/

As you are the one who wants to be extra correct about the topic title you should follow the same rules about what you are writing. Or, don't be dense, as you said it!

So, Android is a VPN now? Okay, buddy, no point in helping you out.

I have got absolutely nothing wrong, you are just parroting the other guy because you absolutely have 0 understanding of this. It's not an 'age old' problem as it has been just discovered a couple of days ago! It could have been exploited for 20+ years, though, without anybody having an understanding for that. It's not scaremongering, it's a real security threat.

ALL VPN's are affected if they are connecting to a compromised Wif with enabled DHCPi. Facts, bro.

There's nothing misleading, all VPNs are affected. It's a fact. When they are affected is a different question. If you login through a Hotel WIFI, your VPN is affected! But you still don't understand the problem. You think it's about "if it's working". That's not the issue. Nevermind, though, if you don't feel threatened that you are basically not using a VPN on f. ex. Hotel Wifis even if "it's working", then you can just safely ignore everything.

You didn't understand the issue. Re-read articles.

Nah, it's 100% correct. All VPNs are affected. When is a different question. As stated in the initial post, only if you are using a compromised Wifi. It's more unlikely at home, but never say never. Also, better to get rid of the bug, even at home, no? Or just ignore it?

Kinda. However the adding VPN on Android is also prone to leaking. Best is to use VPN on your PC and connect to your Android hotspot.

You didn't understand the issue. Re-read articles.

Aren't you the guy who runs Linux and thinks it's safe and his VPNs are not affected. Hahaha, oh dude. Get educated, Ubuntu click boy.

Tell 'us'? Is this "whitening cream" in the room with you now? 🤣

I wouldn't recommend running, though 😊 Elliptical for the win!

Yes. That's what VPNs companies use in their ads.

Yeah, should be a safe option.

This is clearly bait. Anyway. How to make new friends? By showing anti societal behavior. Am I part of a society or am I just a battery? Bonus: A battery that has to make money that can be taxed so a boomer's pensions get paid?

In short, it's basically you going in some public wifi or compromised wifi and you won't know that your traffic is not routed through your VPN as you are connected to your VPN and everything seems in order. Everything is affected except Android, at the time of writing. "TunnelVision is a new VPN bypass technique that enables threat actors to spy on users’ traffic bypassing the VPN encapsulation."

You also missed the point. There has been discovered a major vulnerability. It's totally mainstream, you can't miss it. It's 'new' vulnerability and has been discovered today and thats what Microsoft tried to patch. More here:
