Crazy that this got censored.

What are the options if my country makes VPN's illegal? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

That would be up to the courts to decide.

It's very easy to accidentally connect to an unknown server, so it would depend on your state's criteria for determining guilt.

Sometimes.

They can keep a record of VPNs and monitor if you connect to their servers, or block that connection altogether.

The problem with this is that new VPNs come and go all the time and active VPNs don't always have static configurations. It would be impossible for them to reliably track all of them.

"Making VPNs illegal" doesn't stop you from using them.

They would have to implement north korea/iran levels of restrictions in order to prevent you from using VPNs.

Why don't other instances and communities load for my instance? (lemmings.world)
 

Hi. I'm new to federation and would like to set up my own instance.

I'm able to get a lemmy website up and running, but for some reason I can't see or search for other instances.

The only thing that I'm able to connect to, for some reason, is the technology community for lemmy.world. Even that loads improperly though as the posts only seemed to load once and aren't getting any updates. There are also no comments and my subscription to the community remains pending.

Trying to connect to the community directly using myinstance.com/c/othercommunity@otherinstance does not work. It returns an error page that says "The server returned this error: Error".

Does anyone know what could be causing this, or a possible fix?
