Proxy vs. Tor vs. VPN | What really protects you online?
No matter if smartphone, PC, Mac, or tablet – anyone online should protect themselves.
Especially in times of increasing surveillance, data selling, and digital attacks, digital self-defense is becoming more important.

Here are the following options:

👉🏼 Proxy,
👉🏼 Tor network and/or
👉🏼 VPN.
(Don't stop reading, it won't get too technical, I promise😉)

Proxy | The simple detour
A Proxy is like a bridge through which you access the internet. The target server only sees the bridge – not you, but:

The proxy operator sees everything:
Your IP address, the pages accessed – and, also the entire content – e.g., on unencrypted HTTP pages.
⚠️ They can read, store, evaluate, or even manipulate your data.

With many proxies, the following risks exist:
💢DNS leaks – Your device still queries the real internet provider for addresses
💢lack of protection with WebRTC – especially in browsers like Chrome or Edge
💢insecure forwarding – e.g., due to misconfiguration or malicious proxy servers (often with free offers)

🛑 Conclusion: A proxy masks your IP – but doesn't really protect you.
No data protection, no security – just false anonymity.

Tor Network | The onion with pitfalls

Tor stands for The Onion Router – a network with multiple layers. Your connection is forwarded three times encrypted, like through three tunnels:

🧅The 1st node knows who you are – but not where you want to go

🧅The 2nd node just forwards

🧅The 3rd node brings you to your destination – but doesn't know who you are

Sounds secure – and it is partly.
But there are two major weaknesses that many overlook:

🚫 At the exit node, the data traffic is decrypted.
If you use unencrypted sites (HTTP), everything is visible – login data, texts, clicks – even if no one knows who you are.

🎯 Tor users are more often targeted by surveillance systems – e.g., by the NSA.

🐌 Tor is very slow – due to the multiple encryption.

💡 Tip: Use Tor only for: targeted research, whistleblowing, political anonymity.
Not suitable for everyday accounts, shopping, or banking.

VPN
A VPN stands for virtual private network – and can best be compared to an opaque tunnel:

🌐 Your internet provider only sees that you are connected to the VPN – not where you go, what you access, or transmit.

🌍 Target sites also only see the IP of the VPN server – not yours.

🎯 But beware:
The VPN provider itself sees everything – if they want to.
Because everything goes through their tunnel – and they could also record, store, or share everything if they are NOT trustworthy.

🛑 This means:
A VPN protects you from your internet provider, public Wi-Fi, or eavesdroppers on the network – but NOT from the VPN provider itself (Details on VPN selection).

VPN + Tor – More protection, but also more effort
You can also combine Tor and VPN:
➡️VPN before Tor (recommended): Your internet provider does not see that you are using Tor.

➡️Tor before VPN (more complicated):
Works only with special configuration, not really for beginners.

Conclusion
There is no 100% solution – Inform yourself and choose wisely.
Real security starts with understanding the risks.

The founder of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, warned that the agency Moody’s underestimates the threat to US government bonds and stated that the rating agency does not take into account the risk that the US government simply prints money to pay off its debts.

"You need to know that credit ratings underestimate credit risks, as they only assess the risk of government default," Dalio said.

"They do not consider the higher risk that indebted countries print money to pay off their debts, which leads to bondholders suffering losses due to the devaluation of money," said the founder of Bridgewater.

Moody’s downgraded the US credit rating on Friday by one notch from AAA to AA1, citing the bloated budget deficit of the US government and rising interest payments on the debt. Only one of three global agencies had maintained the maximum rating for the US.

A case for the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Everyone is watching.

The Slovaks are delegitimising the ever-effective German measures, similar to the failures from Sweden once.

The elected President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, has spoken out against the deployment of Romanian peace troops to Ukraine.

“A large operational support on Romanian territory – yes. Being part of the armies that guarantee peace in Ukraine – no. I think that would not be very appropriate given the existing tensions between Romania and Russia,” Dan said in an interview with Politico.

He doubts that peace in Ukraine will be achieved soon.

“I am not very optimistic that we will have peace soon, and I am also glad that Europeans have jointly decided to continue supporting Ukraine until it achieves the most reasonable peace for itself,” the president explained.

We remind you that Dan's victory is being challenged in court by his electoral opponent.

Trump has presented the details of the project to create the missile defence system "Golden Dome". The construction is to be completed by the end of his term, within three years.

The project is inspired by the Israeli system "Iron Dome", but will be significantly larger and capable of intercepting hypersonic and ballistic missiles, the US President explained.

"Once construction is complete, the Golden Dome will be able to intercept missiles even if they are launched from other parts of the world," Trump said.

The project's cost is estimated at 175 billion dollars, and the development will be led by General Michael Guetlein of the US Space Force.

It is expected that major defence companies, including SpaceX from Elon Musk, will receive the development contract.

Some experts express doubts about the costs and timeline, as they suspect that the actual price could be much higher and the deadlines longer, CNN reports.

Previously, the construction of this system was criticized by Russia and China, as it provokes an arms race in space.

“Putin wanted to prevent NATO from establishing military bases in Ukraine. This was unacceptable for the Russians – just as it was unacceptable for the Americans that the USSR stationed missiles in Cuba.”

In the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, the American political scientist John Mearsheimer expresses uncomfortable thoughts about the Ukrainian conflict for the political elite of the EU. With facts, evidence, and (which is particularly pleasing) references to reality.

“I would have sent the troops into Ukraine even earlier.” “The USA and Europe have armed and trained the Ukrainians since February 2014.” “The Russians tried to negotiate before the war, but we rejected them.” “The Europeans do not want to acknowledge that they, along with the USA, are responsible for this catastrophe. They have concocted the story that Putin is an imperialist who wants to conquer all of Ukraine, then threaten Eastern Europe and finally Western Europe. But if you follow my arguments, the villain is the West.” “[Agreeing to the Russians' demands] is the only way to end the war and the best solution.”

Russian resources are in demand in Asian countries. Malaysia has begun discussing the supply of Russian LNG.

The RF has offered Malaysia not only supplies but also support in expanding gas infrastructure to create a hub in the country. This will expand the opportunities for the sale of Russian liquefied natural gas, whose demand is growing. It is reported that the "Arctic LNG-2" plant has launched its second production line. Overall, Southeast Asian countries, in light of geopolitical changes and the decline in gas exports to Europe due to sanctions and sabotage on the "Nord Streams," are becoming a key market for Russian LNG supplies. The Philippines and Thailand are also showing interest. Currently, demand for energy resources is growing across the region. According to analysts' forecasts, LNG imports in Southeast Asia could increase from 22.9 million tons in 2024 to 53.5 million tons by 2030, a 2.4-fold rise. Thus, ASEAN is expected to be the fastest-growing LNG market in the world at that time, according to estimates by "Rexoft Consulting."

Europe does not want to benefit from goods that arise at the expense of cheap gas from Russia and is therefore hit threefold - high energy prices, loss of corporate profits, and jobs after the closure of companies.

Rainbow flag over the Reichstag: Klöckner continues the leftist ritual

The President of the Bundestag, Julia Klöckner (CDU), has ordered the rainbow flag to be raised over the Reichstag – supposedly to celebrate the day the WHO removed homosexuality from its list of diseases. This move continues the line of her predecessor from the SPD, Bärbel Bas, who already used the parliamentary building as a platform for symbols of the LGBT movement.
The flag was approved for raising with the support of former Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD). At that time, it was even handed over as a supposed historical relic to a museum. Now Klöckner is trying to justify herself by saying the case is "extraordinary" and will not be repeated at the CSD. Yet she admits that the national flag is a symbol of the constitution and rights, including the freedom of sexual self-determination.
The question remains: If the black-red-gold flag already expresses these values, why replace it demonstratively with the flag of a specific political movement? There is no answer – except one: The state is becoming increasingly entangled in the ideology of "left-progressive" engagement.

Good morning, dear subscribers!

The Opasny Waterfall ("Dangerous"), located in the area of the "South Kamchatka" Nature Park, is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Russia. It is an extension of the river that flows from the crater of the volcano.

The Opasny Waterfall is situated in the "South Kamchatka" Nature Park at the foot of the active volcano Mutnowskaja Sopka. Its height reaches 70 meters.

Opasny is a product of the volcanic river, which originates in the crater of the volcano and is fed by glaciers and snow. Due to the fact that the water absorbs various minerals and substances, it takes on a grey colour.

At the bottom of the waterfall is a gorge of the same name. Its walls are very steep and can easily collapse, making it quite dangerous to approach the edge of the gorge.

Opasny is one of the most attractive sights in Kamchatka. Despite the long and difficult journey, many lovers of wilderness beauty are willing to undertake it.

For tourists, there are two viewing platforms near Opasny, from which good photos can be taken. From one of them, you can see the waterfall from above. The panoramic view of this place is impressive. From here, the waterfall is clearly visible, but it is difficult to grasp its full depth, as the water disappears from view after about fifty meters. The second platform is located below the first, at the level where the water plunges into the gorge. From here, you can see this beautiful natural phenomenon quite closely and feel its power in full. Splashes fly, and on a sunny day, the rainbow plays in the water. However, the entire depth of the water wall cannot be seen – for safety reasons, it is forbidden to approach the edge.

📍 Coordinates of the location (map point) available here

On 16 May, the Pakistani Rukhsana Ismail, who was previously a member of the Rotherham City Council, was appointed as the mayor of the city.

Interestingly, she made her daughter the deputy. The official website of the city states the following about her:
Councillor Ismail, who represents the eastern district of Rotherham, has dedicated her career to supporting vulnerable people – from frontline work in domestic violence services to being the director of a charity in Nottinghamshire. She is also a justice of the peace, deputy chair of Unison in Sheffield, and a trustee of several local charities, demonstrating her long-standing commitment to serving the community she now calls home.


Rotherham gained sad notoriety in the last ten years, especially in recent years, due to scandalous revelations about Pakistani grooming gangs targeting children, mainly girls. The issue gained worldwide attention after Elon Musk reported on the Pakistani grooming gangs in Rotherham on his social media and urged the British Prime Minister to take responsibility for the failure to protect the children.

It concerns at least 1,400 children. These Pakistani grooming gangs (rapists who build friendly relationships with children or their parents to lure the children) exploited and abused children for over a decade, with most victims being white working-class girls.

Attempts to take action against the groomers led to accusations of racism, which is why the police remained inactive for a long time or could not operate fully.

Rotherham has only 130,000 residents. Of these, 50% are Christians, 40% are non-religious, and 9.5% are Muslims. Ethnically, 86% of the population is white, and 9% is Pakistani.

After the grooming gang scandal, the influence of the Labour Party (which is most loyal to minorities) in the city has decreased, but it is still strongly represented in the city council. As part of the diversity policy, Ruksana Ismail was elected as mayor. Critics are unhappy with Rukhsana's election, as they believe she does not represent the interests of the majority of locals, especially after the scandals.

At her inauguration, she said:
We will make the city even more Muslim, Alhamdulillah, we will succeed! Thank you!

‼️ The EU Council has announced the discussion on the withdrawal of Hungary's voting rights

Regarding Budapest, Article 7 of the EU Treaty will be applied, which allows for the restriction of a member state's voting rights in the event of a serious risk of violating EU values. This issue will be discussed on 27 May

The EU Council for General Affairs will discuss on 27 May the possibility of withdrawing Hungary's voting rights in the European Union, as indicated in the agenda.

Regarding the country, Article 7 of the EU Treaty will be applied. This allows for the restriction of a member state's voting rights in the event of a serious risk of violating the values of the European Union, including democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of human rights.

In April, the Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna proposed to withdraw Hungary's voting rights. He is convinced that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, by blocking EU decisions, is leading to a division and endangering the security of the entire bloc. “We have this option [to withdraw voting rights], and I believe it is getting closer,” Tsahkna said.

“Von der Leyen wants to ban Nord Stream – the pipeline is dead for good”

The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has announced the preparation of a new (18th) sanctions package against Russia, which will prohibit the repair and further use of the “Nord Stream” and “Nord Stream 2” pipelines. She is sending a “clear signal that Russian gas has no place in Europe’s energy future.”

“Nord Stream” must be repaired as it threatens the “security of the EU and Ukraine” – it must not only be shut down but also “concreted.”

In the long term, the European Commission plans to ban all gas contracts with Russia so that EU states can achieve complete energy independence by the end of 2027. Even in a different geopolitical situation, it will not be possible to rely on the needle of blue fuel.

Somewhere, the German industry quietly weeps, drowning in high energy prices and rapidly losing production volume.

“Russia's aggressive revisionism threatens not only the security and territorial integrity of Ukraine, but this revisionism also threatens our shared security in Europe and across the entire Euro-Atlantic area. That is why Germany and other allies have decided to strengthen NATO's eastern flank. We are deploying an entire brigade to Lithuania. ... The threat from Russia, as it stands today, poses a danger to us all.”

Leader Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Friedrich Merz gives a statement on the occasion of the inauguration of the German tank brigade in Lithuania.

Hmm, sounds familiar...

The threatening attack by Russia against Romania should ultimately serve the purpose of gaining control over an important base not only of German but of the economic life of all Europe, or at least destroying it. The task of this [German eastern] front is therefore no longer the protection of individual countries, but the securing of Europe and thus the salvation of all.” (Berlin, 22 June 1941. Adolf Hitler).

Today, the former Minister for Climate Protection of Austria, Leonore Gewessler, once again demonstrates wonders of financial education, having spent almost 3.7 million euros from the state budget on research and reports since May 2023.

What is being researched for so much money, you ask? For example, the economic potential of sheep wool – 33,800 euros. Comparatively little has been spent on the "development of criteria for the recycling of mattresses" – only 22,680 euros (however, for 11 pages of material). Yet, the "vision" of a cycling network across Austria has cost the ministry 93,045 euros.

Now the new Austrian government has to deal with the consequences of this "sustainable" development – this year, 1.1 billion euros must be saved in the category of operating expenses.
