  I was thinking of installing https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn on my server but it does not support IPv6 I guess, I thought of using cisco since Android and Windows natively supports it. Is there any new version or a way to add IPv6 support?

• Duplicati

  4 6,071 9.1 C#

  Store securely encrypted backups in the cloud!

  

  Project mention: Which backup solution to use for offsite? | reddit.com/r/DataHoarder | 2021-04-12

  My experiences are very similar to this. Hours and tens of hours for tiny DB re-creation (for 50-250GBs that's not the DB, it's the total of the files!), all local or in the local network (the DB itself on local SSD or even ramdrive), nothing particularly bogged down except sql stuff. Recovering 2-3TBs used to be like 3 weeks, from and to a local drive on the same machine and barely possible. Backing up the same is very tough, unless you increase significantly the default block size and still have a very nice machine. Generally the performance is really bad and many times what it could be, even simple stuff for example this one that's just checking the sha256 checksum of the files used to be 100 times slower than it should (I'm lowering my head in shame that I didn't fix it or at least report it myself even if I knew about it for years).

  Project mention: I made a WhatsApp scraper to help people export/backup their chat history | reddit.com/r/Python | 2021-03-01

  Yeah its encrypted, you have to reverse the web app, but people already done it and you can search for info like this github the code in js but I only look the readme and code it in python, right now im making a custom whatsapp web client that maybe I will upload to github

  1 4,650 2.9 Ruby

  Easy full stack backup operations on UNIX-like systems.

  I used to be a huge fan of https://github.com/backup/backup, but unfortunately it doesn't get updates. Still works though. I ran hundreds of gigs each night through that tool. There's a golang version re-write that is limited on the features - https://github.com/huacnlee/gobackup.

• s2n

  s2n : an implementation of the TLS/SSL protocols

  

  Project mention: LibreSSL Languishes on Linux | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-01-04

  I would be interested in the other SSL implementations:

  - https://github.com/awslabs/s2n

  - https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl

  - https://bearssl.org/

  Are these subpar implementations or there are other reasons not to use these?

• Tutanota makes encryption easy

  80 3,895 9.7 JavaScript

  Tutanota is an email client with a strong focus on security and privacy that lets you encrypt emails on all your devices.

  

  Project mention: Roadmap question, no clear information on the site or github. | reddit.com/r/tutanota | 2021-04-16

  But I agree, not much seems to be changing lately. They built the calendar in just three months, but conversation view (a crucial feature, in my opinion) has been in the works for 6 years.

• VeraCrypt

  17 3,137 8.4 C

  Disk encryption with strong security based on TrueCrypt

  

  Project mention: [LONG POST] It seems the only benefit of Veracrypt full disk encryption is plausible deniability as the encrypted drive will appear raw, while downsides range from problems with Windows automated backups to catastrophic accidental initialization of the drive and the loss of your data. Is that right? | reddit.com/r/VeraCrypt | 2021-04-14

  It has weaknesses, like right now, SSD's take a hit in performance due to implementation effects while others aren't affected due to implementation differences, which Idrassi is working on for the eventual version 1.25

• Awesome Cryptography

  0 3,027 4.1

  A curated list of cryptography resources and links.

• ChatSecure-iOS

  2 2,997 3.4 Objective-C

  ChatSecure is a free and open source encrypted chat client for iOS that supports OTR and OMEMO encryption over XMPP.

  

  Project mention: For Muslims and. On Muslims to interactively learn Islam and connect usa/Uk and abroad | reddit.com/r/MuslimLounge | 2021-04-07

  In this case, I would rather suggest others to use the likes of Element a Matrix client, or e.g. RetroShare, Briar, OnionShare, or e.g. XMPP with the clients like Dino, Conversations, Gajim, ChatSecure.
