why are VPNs being heavily targeted, but not TOR?
>>109170712Easier to target, easier to use, easier to ban.Next question.
>>109170712why would they target their own glowie honeypot?
>>109170712tor is doing its job and honeypotting pesos. NSA has enough compute. Funny how there is all the "you dont need a vpn when using tor" rhetoric so they can save themselves a subpoena
>>109170712you cant do anything normal with tor anywayswhatever website with 'age verification' garbage will give you a practically unsolveable captcha hell even before you getting to the age verification stage
>>109170712Nobody is targeting neither. The fuck do you mean? Big shots from time to time would vote in some nonsense so that their relative can start a VPN company and make a lot of money. It's enrichment schemes, nothing more to it. Tor is a honeypot, gov funded proxy infrastructure so that you would not hide behind 7 real and obscure proxies (they hate it).

>>109170749This. Tor was cool 15+ years ago when we were all kids, and you could still easily buy good drugs with BCH or LTC on there, and the nodes weren't blocked all over the place, but now all the drugs are poison, and the nodes are blocked everywhere. It has been a pointless technology for years, and is mainly used by glowies, terrorists and other sickos who just wanna fuck with each other for shiggles. Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Kinda sad TBQH.
>>109170712that's not entirely correct. there have been multiple coordinated attacks against the tor network for at least a decade.
>>109170720This. Also they cant (legally) ban VPN technology, but they can ban buy/selling/running of commerical ones. Although they will most likely never do so, except possibly restrict commerical ones to a limited controlled group. The enforcement will likely come down to the tech behind the VPNs being easy to identify, and block on networks by the mandated ISPs. This is not the case with TOR. Although VPNs have begun to get more creative, and use many techniques TOR has pioneered. BUT (allegedly) with TOR, even using maximal obfuscations, China has found ways to block it. So who knows. But I suspect there are other lesser public methods to get TOR across the chinese firewall that are less discussed.
