God damn iVPN running like a pig. Is every ISP trying to block VPNs

Does anyone here use a VPN / SOCKS5 proxy with Firefox / Chrome?

I've just realised that most of the FF / Chrome addons that allow you to switch proxies will not actually send DNS requests over the proxy, and send them through whatever network interface you are using.

If you set up the proxy manually via the browser network settings, though, it does seem to work

Includes some gems such as:-

"
... the attacker(s) had access to privileged credentials that were previously stored in the LastPass account of a Ubiquiti IT employee, and gained root administrator access to all Ubiquiti AWS accounts, including all S3 data buckets, all application logs, all databases, all user database credentials, and secrets required to forge single sign-on (SSO) cookies.

'Adam' says Ubiquiti’s security team picked up signals in late December 2020 that someone with administrative access had set up several Linux virtual machines that weren’t accounted for.
