  • Honestly, for your use case, you should just get a older cell phone. Put lineage OS on it, or calyxos… share your VPN over hotspot, these are the only two ROMs that I’m aware of that allow you to do that. This has the benefit that the VPN traffic looks just like for traffic from the phone, and you don’t have to do any gymnastics to modify the TTL, or the operating system signature of the traffic.

    Boom, travel router. Very portable, has a built-in battery etc etc etc etc etc


    I like GLI-net, they are great, they have great hardware. If you want to buy it I endorse it. If you’re paranoid flash your own firmware. If you use an end-to-end VPN from your device it doesn’t matter what your mobile router uses. However the killer feature here, I think is better supplied by an older phone running the ROMs I mentioned above. It’s just more portable. And you have a backup phone when you’re traveling





  • I don’t believe it requires a Google account.

    I just used it on grapheneos, it does recommend you use a separate Google account for the private space, but I don’t have Google account on the phone, I was able to create a private space without any issue.

    This feels very much like a second profile, like a workspace. So now you can have three profiles on your main phone login. Normal, private, work.

    That’s nice. I would have liked it if the lock button wasn’t there, better to not reveal it at all… Upon checking the settings, there is a hide option. So yeah this is great

    I hid my private space, and now I can’t unhide it. I have to go through settings to show it again. Supposedly you should be able to open it by searching for “private space”. Might be a GOS bug.

    This is perfect for banking apps, password managers, anything that you don’t need to get notifications from





  • Wrt tubes:

    You only take damage from vertical velocity, not horizontal velocity. So if you can configure the tube so you hit a wall, you take zero damage.

    For my tube networks I space the entrance of two tubes about 3/4 of a foundation apart, above the head of walking distance, so you’re thrown from one into the other, but you can slow down and get out if you really want to.

    In recent designs with priority power switches, you can make stations with the entrance and exit tubes hooked up to a priority power switch. Then you go to the priority power Network turn off the tubes where you want to stop, you get flung through the network, you hit the off entrance at extreme velocity, but it’s all horizontal so that’s okay. And you fall gently to the ground. The benefit of this is you can incorporate hyper cannons to give you insane velocities, since you don’t have to manually speed up or slow down.

    https://hackertalks.com/comment/5288866 Here’s one possible design, though it has an abundance of entrances. A hypertube on the top to accelerate up, and the power switch is to the two tubes in the center, so that the stop can be a destination, but you can still hop in and go up and down. The design here was for lots of back and forth movement

    T-AB-T.

    The power switch would turn off a and b

    But for your design, I imagine —A-B— would also work just fine
