It doesn't, so I use OpenVPN ony DSM when I remote connect, and use ExpressVPN on the devices that need it for anonymousness.

I'm tooling around looking for an answer to my own OpenVPN Question,cand saw this.

All I can do to give you hope is describe my experience.

I use OpenVPN to access my Synology NAS, and if my network at the remote end is good, I don't have anywhere near the problem you have. I recently switched to a provider that uses fiber (only recently became available) and both the up and down is 1G (I verified).

You might have configuration issues that throttle your throughput if you have 35Mb up speed. You won't be fast with that, but it shouldn't be excrutiating. I had 10Mb up, and that was excruciating.

How bad is it when you push a similar file up to the server? If it is not much faster, there's definitely something outside the encryption slowing you down.

Any DNS based blocker will filter out anything from URLs at the source, so no data is received. I use AdAway with Magisk. Blocklists are updated regularly.

Pixel Dungeon is a good option.

Check out https://lemmy.ml/c/sopranica for full featured XMPP implementations.

Xmpp servers can be configured to log history. I don't know if Matrix always logs history, but I've read that it keeps a lot of metadata.

Thanks for enumerating the counter points. I'm immediately turned off by his vocal style, but I can look past that long enough to evaluate the content.

I have two big issues with it:

• His assertions lack references to supporting evidence
• his political allegiance gives me pause

I will check out his content more before I write him off.

It appears the android client he used is Cheogram, which I use. It is forked from Conversations, and is excellent. JMP.CHAT maintains it, and pretty much supports all of the xmpp standards. Including gateways to phone PBX, SMS, and Matrix.

They and sopranica offer fully compliant servers, including self hosting.

I saw that as I continued reading other comments.

I generally stick with Firefox, but I do have chromite ony degoogled secondary phone as a backup in case something only works with chromium renderer.

A fellow old-schooler, I see! Me too!

Depends on if someone uploaded the data for the target area, and the lookup is not intuitive for North Americans.

OsmAnd is a favorite of mine. If you live in one of the covered areas (North America for sure) OpenSuperMaps merges a US style address search and most street addresses into the maps.

OsmAnd search goes by town, street, number while these maps work with "25 oak street Chicago Illinois". Also, the open street maps rely on croud sharing for map details, so many areas have very little detail, while others put Google Maps to shame.

For navigation, I like Magic Earth. It includes similar search ability and has Waze-like features. The only problem is a lack of critical mass of users to get good traffic and hazard warnings. You can be one more user to supply such info.
