Hello everyone, with the unfortunate passing of the FISA expansion, I was left with a few questions. I tried to research it, and to me, it seems like they are beefing up surveillance with routers and ISPs (correct me if I’m wrong.) Aside from having businesses stalk you when you use their WiFi (connected with ISPs.)

And if that’s the case, should I just always use a VPN? And furthermore, shouldn’t you have always used a VPN prior to this anyways?

That’s why I’m confused because I already thought that other businesses were collecting data and our ISPs were already sending our data away, so I’m partially confused about what the real change here with FISA is.

Any clarification and advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

      That’s a few users. Temp block them when they do something malicious. Don’t wholesale block someone just for making a simple GET request from an IP on Tor that hasn’t done anything malicious.

          Right, so temp block the bad IPs 24 hours.

          Don’t block an entire network just because there’s a few bad actors.
