When I need a new car it'll be well researched and proven to be possible, or it will be a old 1990's car and I'll upgrade parts. I don't mind soldering, researching chips, removing any antennas, etc.

In any case, It's public knowledge so hopefully we get laws or something first to stop this shit.

Then again. My rate might go up because my car doesn't submit reports

I've seen articles of how the car maker will sell this to insurance and if you do anything wrong your rate will go up.

If I ever buy a new car you can bet I'll be doing research on how to rip that shit out. Won't even drive it home from the dealer without getting in there first.

While I agree, where should it stop?

Just by getting into new cars you agree to their TOS. Buying a new phone, using internet services/websites, etc. You almost can't breath without agreeing to one TOS or another. We need this shit to stop and local laws are the only way I see out of it.

There is a 55 unit apartment building and a 22 unit apartment building going up within 3KM of me. In our neighbourhood there's 5 houses for sale, one of which has sold in the last 4 months.

While I agree things are shitty, at least in my community apartments are being built. Price/cost is another story and I'd never live in a new build because its not rent controlled.

Good luck!

If you want to stay with whatever provider you have you can try openVPN over TCP or a SOCKS proxy over SSH (both TCP traffic). Anything TCP might be faster than WG

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I'd look for a different provider if you're looking for speed. Like I said above, OVH was unusable to me so I went to hetzner.

Lookup "lowendbox" if you want something cheap. I used some Christmas or new year deal at racknerd that was alright.

You could also try a VPS from hetzner and see if its any better. Here's my speed test just now using WG on my cell, exit through Hetzner.

Is your test TCP or UDP? My guess is that's TCP traffic.

Your VPS provider can rate limit as specific as a single UDP port. Try a different WG UDP port or wrap your WG traffic in TCP with other software and try again.

My WG traffic looked like a DOS attack to OVH and I got blackholed for 5min, then 15, then 30.

My guess is your provider is rate limiting your UDP traffic.

Why not use your current DNS solution? I've got all my hosts using my self hosted DNS at home.

I had a VPS with racknerd for a year. I just used it as a wireguard endpoint to exit in the US. I had no complaints but I also didn't use it very often.

I mean, is there something to the right? I think not because the français is below so I guess good luck. I'd personally eat it unless you bought it months ago.
