Not the one who originally asked the question, but thanks, that looks very promising

I’m not OP, but MidnightControls is pretty good

20 years ago desktop Linux wasn’t nearly as good as it is nowadays. They were also influenced by Micro$oft lobbyists, who threatened to move their headquarters out of Munich, causing millions of lost tax revenue for the city.

Tech bros are only interested in getting the results from open source

That’s why we need the GNU AGPLv3

For anyone interested in the Kik controversy: There’s a great episode of the Darknet Diaries podcast about it: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/93/

Happy cake day!

Interesting 🤔
I regularly use both apps and never experienced these issues. You can create an issue on GitHub to report this.

Mullvad: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/

Proton: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/android-app/issues/

That sounds like a terrible VPN client implementation. Which client do you use?

In my experience, and from what I have heard, it’s quite the opposite.

• uBlock Origin’s hard mode

SpamHaus type of bad host

That already kinda exists: https://gui.fediseer.com/

It probably needs some permissions that aren’t available in newer Android versions anymore

I honestly don’t know

It didn’t mention anything about the CPU in the install instructions…

Try locating the binary that crashes with the “Bad CPU type” exception and run the file command on it. It will show you which architecture the binary was built for.

Edit: Linux install was successful

That’s good to hear

Can I message you on Matrix to help you diagnose this?

You’re right, I forgot about that

Bad CPU type in executable

Do you use an Apple Silicon Mac by any chance?

I couldn’t find anything on that yet. I think that since the project is still in a rather early stage of development, it’s more of a proof of concept. But I do know that the PCAPs are saved on the device, and you can download them onto another computer.

Is it necessary to get a cell plan to run the hotspot?

As far as I’m aware: no. Cell-site simulators could theoretically only target devices that connect with a valid IMSI, but I kinda doubt that they are doing that. But you could get a cheap prepaid SIM, instead of an actual cell plan.
