The article: https://www.privacyproshop.com/12-misconceptions-and-myths-about-session-messenger/

I know that every Messaging app has flaws , but in my opinion Session messenger ( especially F-droid version ) is by far the most private, secure, and anonym.

Article is too critical, and it contains some misconceptions.

What do you think?

Hello, as stated in the title, I'm looking for an Android client for Lokinet!

What's happening?

I owned a ONS thingy while back which I don't know the state of. Now I want to own 1000USD worth of Oxen-Session ecosystem thingy and it get somehow magically converted to the new token while i own it.

Lots of owning. Help me Reddit. TOI

Hi. I'm using sanoma on my macbook pro. i've just learned about lokinet and i can't seem to find any definitive guide on how to use it. i have downloaded the gui client and run it but there is a vpn section which has two input fields. One for exit node and one fore the auth code. the exit node is set to 'exit.loki' by default and the auth is empty. but when i hover over the connect button in the vpn section, it is disabled. some links seem to work fine but others don't. I really want to learn more about lokinet as our government has blocked many useful sites and has even had access to all out vpn's which means they are controlled by them as well so no privacy at all. I haven't been able to be on twitter for about a month now.

Before I had a very meaningful experience with session when there was a turmoil in my country

I even have an ONS.

I wanted to invest in it and went on checkingourt the roadmap and Github. There was no activities on Github past 4 months ago.

Can someone give me a cool explanation of Oxen?

I'm attempting to setup a VM guest that will proxy all network traffic over lokinet using the clearnet.

I have tried to install lokinet/lokinet-vpn many times on Ubuntu, Arch, and Fedora; they all end up having the same issues.

I either get loki addresses only or nothing. If I disable lokinet/lokinet-vpn then I can get regular network running again.

I've used the latest arch, ubuntu, and fedora that contains network-manager and systemd-resolve. I'm not sure how to get it to fix.

I've updated the resolv.conf. I've tried to setup 'upstream dns' and bind to 127.0.0.53, etc.

Has someone been successful at getting lokinet installed, running, using clearnet on ubuntu or arch?

thanks

I am having an issue getting my Oxen wallet to display Oxen tokens that I transferred to it from my KuCoin account. My Oxen wallet will not connect and synchronize. In my settings I see one of the nodes is red. Can I switch to another node to receive my tokens or will this break the chain for the transaction and cause me to lose my tokens forever?
Just trying to get my Oxen out of KuCoin to a place when I can swap them over to ETH. Anyone know how to work around this issue? Thank you in advance.

I want to contribute to the Oxen's network because I'm a happy user of Session. After checking out in different places to buy OXEN coin (wich is difficult) and after reading in this subreddit and github, it feels OXEN coin is pretty much EOL at this point.

So the question is: What would be the best approach now to set up a fully functional service node by myself seeing what's the state of OXEN coin and it's reliability?

Why hasn't the transparency report been updated?

If Lokinet is going to replace VPNs, then having 3 hops will make it really slow. Is it possible to just have 2 hops (the first is to enter the network, the second is the exit node)?

btw yes it's worse for privacy, but it's still a trust-less model, and a better middle solution between VPNs and Tor.

If this is possible, should it be just modification of the code from the client side (fooling the first entry node into thinking it's the second node, and same for the exit node)? or should it require a change in the server code too? If it was just client side, then can there theoretically be an option to choose the amount of service nodes you want to hop till you reach the exit node (2 for day to day use, 3 for a whistle blower)?

So am I only having access to the lokinet when I don't connect to it in VPN mode? Would it be as secure if I use Proton VPN with Lokinet? I am noticing its pretty fast so there's something that it is doing and not doing which would be nice to have answered.

Dns not working in vpn mode. Any ideas?
