I came across this Bill C-2 just browsing YouTube. I thought it was for another country but this is for Canada. It enables warrantless search and it’s up to the business/organization to fight the request of information on our behalf. I don’t think Amazon/Bell/Google will put out a fight before they hand over our informations.

    Use a VPN for everything except looking up Bible quotes and searching for grannie porn.

    And, for the love of god and all that is holy, change the DNS on their modem/routers and use a secure DNS provider on a different device.

    And check that your DNS resolver does esni / ech properly.

    Your results should look like this:

    Addendum:

    If you can, or if you know someone, or if you care enough to learn (I went from zero knowledge of DNS to “zero trust” in a modest amount of time), set up your own DNS resolvers or DNS proxies. Learn about things like DNS rebinding (bad), and how to prevent leaks using a VPN.

    Personally, I use dnscrypt-proxy on Linux and android. It can be configured to use a local DoH server, quic/http3, DoT, and of course, dnscrypt.

    Dnscrypt-proxy can use IP and domain block lists - no more ads, sypware, malware, tracking, porn - whatever category you want. It is compatible with adblock, unlock, and any other block list syntax. It also has the ability to forward certain domains to specific IPs. Eg someone looks up Facebook? They get redirected to 0.0.0.0 or why not lemonparty dot org.

    The dnscrypt protocol both encrypts and anonymizes your DNS queries by relaying them through a series of relays (your_ choice of which and how many).

      Use a VPN for everything

      Use a VPN that can be trusted. If your VPN provider advertises on YouTube and has special 3 year deals YOU are the product.

      This is not all about your Internet. If a cop suspects someone on your Dr’s clinic is going to commit an offence the peace officer can request for all the bloodwork in that clinic without a warrant.

        I know, i watched the video. But it seems that some of the most personal information you have and the language of this can be found via your internet use and behavior.

        I doubt that your dental or medical history is of much interest in the same way your criticism of Israel or the government of Canada and, as mentioned in the video, " being a gadfly" (a pest or nuissance), and promoting resistance would be more in line with the bill’s (ab)use.

        Anyway, every tool you can use to protect your privacy should be used.

      The trouble is one by one the governments will overreach until there’s nowhere good to VPN to.
