When we get Trump onto Mt Rushmore, we'll have to have them carve little heads of the great team members lol. I'm shocked, I will admit, but Marco Rubio is in his element.
I find it sort of Ironic that the state department does this (And I am glad they are) while at the same time, stupid tech illiterate members of Congress are trying to pass bills to effectively end privacy and anonymity on the internet (Like KOSA, SCREEN, and KOSMA). Gonna be interesting to see people's stance on this.
It requires an entry point. That entry point has to be reached first, before blocking and other censorship rules apply. In effect, one would have to run circles around the DNS misdirection.
Clearly, you cannot do this from a service side. These things have to be set up from the user side i.e. on the device used to access a website.
This means ... you'd have to install some sort of app ... A bit like Tor/lokinet/ i2P but then a USA .gov version of it or: a P2P system where one can access USA .gov sites, like YACY-search engine, i2P.
At any rate, I do not put much stock in an X-message without sources.
The idea however, is quite sympathetic. I wonder however, why Russia never built something like that .. after all, RT is blocked in EU.
The way it sounds to me is the Euro citizen will just go to our website (over https) and the portal will then pass them to where they want to go. They won't need an app because the portal will do the work.
I don't know what they are using, but it is probably something similar to this:
yeah - I used it to get into my network until I started using x2go, and then NoMachine. I had apps linked, ssh links to different machines, and all either required ssh keys (no passwords) or a token from a 2fa.
I strictly use NoMachine now because I can run it on Linux and Windows. I have a server running on my main Linux box and I connect to it even from my own desk. My windows pc is a nuc-like pc with only 8gb RAM and a slow processor so I mainly use it for work (they use Google Workspace and M365). All my other stuff like research, browsing, or email is on my Linux box. That way I only have to have a browser and Teams open on my windows box, along with the NoMachine client. No heavy stuff like Word/Excel/etc - that's all in the browser.
NoMachine is fast, forwards usb/mic/speakers, and your session will stay active until you end it. Makes it great if you use different PCs/laptops and you want to move around.
I hadn’t really thought of the technical side of it . That makes sense that this would need to be implemented on the user side of things. Like a VPN. I wonder if Europe will make this illegal for the user.
The concept of the US government bypassing the censorship firewalls is interesting. Like VOA.
The Rubio meme is what pushed me over the edge to post this though.
That's a huge win.
Poor Rubio.
why 'poor Rubio'?
Too many jobs.
He's supposed to come fix our plumbing tomorrow.
Must be tough job...
He's still working on the oil leak in my car.
He said it will be done this afternoon and it is just a bad valve cover gasket (that is 16 years old).

There's some slight side panel damage on my car. Maybe he can fix it...

Marco, JD, and Pepe.
A new twist to Radio Free Europe. Do China next.

VOA....Voice of America used to be this kind of advocate before Mrs Clinton got done with it in the 1990's

Well, I am not all too happy about it.
What is a VPN?

I've used that myself.
Nice one!
I remember having seen something like that, a sort of linux desktop in the cloud, that allowed for internet access further on. ...
