Connect to your VPN before opening peertube.

[-] tiramichu@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago

Why?

Genuine question. I haven't really used peertube.

[-] TheFederatedPipe@fedia.io 13 points 3 days ago

Your IP gets exposed to others since it has a p2p feature to share the bandwidth of the video with others.

[-] tiramichu@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

Makes sense, thanks

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

That's true for a lot of services. Your IP address doesn't really matter much. P2P is way better for performance.

What are people going to do with your IP? The worst they can do is do a Geo lookup. However it doesn't matter.

[-] florge@feddit.uk 6 points 3 days ago

Probably because you don't want your IP address to be associated with some of stuff on there.

Why? You aren't committing a crime

Maybe you shouldn't vote since they have cameras at the booth

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Where are you that there are cameras in the booth?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

At the booth

They have security cameras everywhere these days

That would be illegal in Australia and I have to imagine most functional democracies since it has the potential to link voters to votes and undermine the electoral process.

Welcome to mass surveillance. It is not illegal if it is in the name of crime stopping. Whats worse is that Australia has laws that require companies to back door everything.

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Worth clarifying that it requires individuals to insert backdoors if told to, it's not a blanket backdoor and frankly I'd be shocked if it held up in the high court.

Nothing ever makes it there though, and it's full of baked in secrecy. I don't use local or US services for anything where privacy is important for that reason.

Good thing Australia doesn't have electronic voting, hey?
