That’s pretty much it. Our beloved Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes banned Twitter/X in Brazil and threatened anyone who uses a VPN to access it with a bill of 50k BRL each day. If I use a premium version of a renowed VPN is there any chance they can track me using Twitter?
No but take into account that they can already identify your actual account.
use shadowsocks or VMass or Trojan, and you’re impossible to track
You’re better off without that dumpster fire of a social media stain. They did you a favor, friend.
If you go for it don’t use your real name or personally identifiable information on Twitter and don’t reveal your location. Because this makes exposing you much easier than actually going through the trouble of serving a law enforcement request to the VPN to release the data etc.
Yes. The government can issue warrants to the VPN providers to provide the details of all users connecting from Brazil. Simple.
VPN can help mask your IP address and encrypt your online activity, there’s no guarantee of absolute anonymity. Governments can request VPN logs or use other means to track connections, especially if they target specific VPNs. Be cautious and aware of the potential risks, as laws regarding VPN use can vary and enforcement may be strict.
As long as the VPN is genuinely good, and you start over with a fresh twitter account that can’t be linked to you (no screenname in common, it isn’t registered with an email address or phone # that the government can access), you never attempt to log in to it while not connected to the VPN (e.g., no app on your phone), etc. Then you’ll probably be ok.
He did you a favor. Just delete the app & be happier.
Suggest using Firefox containers to isolate your usage. In a Firefox container twitter and other websites are completely isolated from each other processes. I would only add and trust the FF official containers.
Using a premium VPN can mask your IP, but authorities can still track your activity through other means, like payment records or data leaks. The risk increases with strict government monitoring, so consider the legal implications before proceeding.
Yes it is called heuristic tracking. VPNs are useless in a circumstance where they have access to core backbone routers. VPN will keep you safe from script kiddies, not governments.
The only way they can find out is by directly seeing if you’re posting inside the app, they only banned one specific app, it would be a incredible hard work to get data from the VPN provider and find ONE specific person that used the banned app, either they would have to sue every single person that used the same VPN IP as yours or just don’t sue. they can’t tell who used vpn to access the app and who didn’t.
or just post in English XD
Wow. Ready to take a risk of 50K for X (not twitter anymore). I would say just not use it? A premium VPN has better usecases that accessing a website that would cause a hefty sum of fine.
Now answering to your question, nothing is untrackable. How are renowned cybercriminals caught? One mistake is all it takes. And I am sure you can’t be as cautious as them.
And then there are VPNs who are to follow the rule of the country where they operate in. If they are obliged by the law to handover the data of their users and their log history. They will. Then there is twitter account. To which your mail or number will be liked. Way too many risks for no return and LOTS of FINE
not to sound like a broken record but would a mullvad pro account + their proxy cover this?
You need to make a new account first, and it’s advisable to use a different browser/isolate it
That judge is doing you a favour when you look at the shitty place it turned into
Get a cheap server is some country, install vpn on it
How does this stack up against TLS fingerprinting? I’ll look into it.
I guess put yourself through shadowsocks and direct. If you check your fingerprint, is it there same?
