session-android VS loki-network

Other alternatives include Session (free) and Threema (paid - 5€).

Test it by downloading session at getsession.org and DM the bot by starting a new message and sending it to “Simple” (without quotes)

Figured there should be moves to set one up if not - https://getsession.org/

* marketing "Perfect Forward Secrecy" AKA "Forward Secrecy"[0].

I favor Session Private Messenger[1] because it is decentralized and allows third party clients, but Signal enthusiasts warn me that the Session client may, hypothetically, at some future date, integrate a cryptocurrency, as the Signal client already does[2].

If you have a mobile phone number, the domestic intelligence agency knows exactly where you are at all times and any LEO (without a warrant) can also find you. In addition, there have been numerous CCC presentations showing how insecure the global (excluding US) and (separately) US carriers are guilty of promiscuous metadata trafficking ($$) and insecure SS7 setups. As a consequence, for low $, you can go to any one of several shady websites and find the last location of almost any phone number (person unique ID) globally. There are additional varying exploitable vulnerabilities depending on the exact combination of {handset x carrier x country} to impersonate them, tap their line, reveal their exact location, and redirect their phone number through a third-party handset or even a PBX. These are more expensive and some capabilities are forbidden for all but a few selective intelligence uses.

Session (Signal fork) doesn't use phone numbers. It's pretty well-designed overall and uses an onion routing approach. It's already a superset of Signal except it doesn't use phone numbers. https://getsession.org

PS: Using regular TOR on home broadband or cloud servers is relatively risky and inefficient. Sybil attacks on it are common. And to network operators and security agencies it gives an easy "flow tag" of your uplink and exit node data traffic as automatically suspicious.

Every official Session community hosted on the getsession.org domain, as well as the official websites (https://getsession.org, https://oxen.io) are unreachable as of now. https://lokinet.org seems to have issues as well.

I2P is different from Tor and I hope we see something like Lokinet integrated into a filesharing client soon.

Decentralized VPNs: https://www.mysterium.network/ , https://sentinel.co/ Lokinet - a combination of VPN and TOR: https://lokinet.org/

(2) Lokinet | Anonymous internet access. https://lokinet.org/.

skini lokinet.org i upisi exit.loki ili loki.exit i reroutat ces sav internet traffic preko blockchain nodeova na tor-u. Extra prejebeno, ni ISP ne zna kaj radis. I free je, masu bolje za skidanje od VPN-a jer ti voida sav traffic.

don't use git, use the tarball they provide with each release that includes submodules: https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet/releases/download/v0.9.11/lokinet-v0.9.11.tar.xz

They should host it on https://lokinet.org/

P.S - There's more networks than just Tor, if you're still interested perhaps you should check them out: https://geti2p.net/en/ https://freenetproject.org/ https://zeronet.io/ https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ https://lokinet.org/ r/i2p r/freenet r/zeronet r/yggdrasil r/oxen_io
