🔴Think you’re safe just because you use a VPN?
Bad news: they might be tracking EVERYTHING you do anyway.
The weak point? DNS. And barely anyone talks about it.
Thousands are leaking data without even knowing.
Today I’ll show you how to check if you’re one of them and how to fix it NOW.
Save this, share it. This could be happening to you RIGHT NOW
🧵👇

Your browser needs to know where to go every time you type a website.
That’s what DNS servers are for.
The problem?
👉 By default, you use your internet provider’s DNS.
👉 These DNS servers log your searches, habits, schedules, and behavior.
Even with a VPN. Even if you clear your history.
It’s all stored. And it can be sold or used against you

A misconfigured VPN can cause DNS leaks.
What’s the issue?
👉 Your DNS requests bypass the encrypted tunnel.
👉 Your ISP can see what websites you visit.
👉 Your “anonymity” collapses instantly.
📌 Many think VPN = safety.
But if your DNS isn’t protected, you’re exposed

🚨 From Chat Control… to Total Control.

The EU’s no longer just after your messages,now it wants to decrypt any encrypted data by 2030.

Do you really know what that means for your privacy?

A critical thread to understand what’s coming… and how to stay safe.
Share if you care about your privacy

It all started with Chat Control: a proposal to scan all your private messages for illegal content.

After being halted in 2024, many thought it was dead.

But no. It’s back.
And worse, the EU has now gone further: it wants to break encryption entirely by 2030

https://x.com/MrCrypPrivacy/status/1951276619479331158

📅 In June 2025, the European Commission unveiled its new security strategy: ProtectEU.

The goal is clear:

➡️ Give EU authorities the power to decrypt encrypted communications by 2030.
➡️ Messaging, storage, VPNs… nothing would be off limits.
It’s every intelligence agency’s wet dream

Imagine every call you make, every message you send, every website you visit, and every place you go is being monitored and shared without you having any control.

This is not science fiction. There’s a secret alliance of 14 countries that collects and shares your metadata on a massive scale, no warrants, no notifications, no oversight.

It doesn’t matter where you live or what you do: your privacy is being shattered right now.

If you want to understand how these surveillance networks operate and how to protect yourself, keep reading… because this affects you more than you think

🧵👇

The 14 Eyes is an international alliance of countries that share surveillance data with each other to spy on citizens, businesses, and governments.

It originated from the original 5 Eyes alliance (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand), later expanded to 9 and finally 14 countries, including several European and Asian nations.

The most dangerous part: they don’t just intercept communications, they collect metadata, who talks to whom, when, where, and for how long, information that reveals far more than you might think.

This network operates without real public oversight or clear limits

You might think: "Why does this matter if I’m not doing anything illegal?"

Here’s the catch: metadata reveals much more about your life than you realize.

Just by knowing who you talk to, when, where, and for how long, they can build detailed profiles of your habits, relationships, beliefs, and even your mental health.

This information can be used to:

- Manipulate elections and opinions
- Deny you services
- Target activists or dissenters
- Create profiles sold to companies or governments

Mass surveillance doesn’t discriminate

📡 Did you know your home router is the easiest backdoor to spy on EVERYTHING you do online?

It doesn’t matter if you use VPNs or secure browsers.
If your router is compromised, they’re spying without you even noticing.
In 2025 router attacks have exploded: malware, backdoors, and manipulations hitting millions across Europe and the US.

👉 In 2024, several routers were exploited by APTs to mass-filter traffic (ref: CISA report).

This thread will open your eyes: how to detect if you're being watched, lock it down, and truly reclaim your privacy.

🧵 Read on and save this.

Your router is the heart of your network.
If someone controls it, they can spy, manipulate, inject malware… and you won’t even know.
ISPs and governments already use advanced techniques:
- DNS hijacking
- Deep packet inspection
- Traffic analysis

And you? You browse thinking you're safe.
But a poorly secured network is an invisible trap.

Most routers ship with insecure settings:
- Default passwords
- Open ports
- Vulnerable protocols
And if your router is from your ISP... forget about configuring it properly.
They're usually locked down and don’t allow firmware upgrades.
⚠️ Example: ISP routers often come locked and restricted.
💡 Solution: buy your own router and use advanced firmware like OpenWRT or DD-WRT.
- MikroTik, Asus (with Merlin) or Netgear with DD-WRT are solid options.

Parents, guardians, educators, the digital world isn’t just fun and games. It’s a hunting ground. Every photo, every video, every detail you share about your kids online can be weaponized by criminals, predators, and unscrupulous companies.

We’re facing an invisible epidemic: the reckless exposure of children’s private lives, known as sharenting, that fuels online abuse, grooming, and exploitation.

If you think “it won’t happen to us,” think again. This is happening every day, everywhere. And the cost? Childhood stolen, trust broken, lives destroyed.

Protecting kids today means understanding these dangers and acting before it’s too late.

The internet never forgets. Neither do predators.

🧵 In this thread, I’ll reveal what’s really happening with children’s data and how you can fight back.

Please RT to protect more kids
#Sharenting #ChildSafety #DigitalPrivacy

Sharenting is when parents publicly share photos, videos, or personal stories of their kids online, often without realizing the consequences.

It starts with innocent birthday pics or bath time videos… but those images don’t stay in your circle. They’re scraped, tagged, stored, and in some cases, traded on the darkest corners of the internet.

Faces become data points. Voices become identifiers. Children become searchable and traceable, and for people you never imagined.

Even “private” posts aren’t safe. Once something’s online, it’s vulnerable to leaks, hacks, or misuse.

Did you know over 60% of parents unknowingly expose their children’s data online through sharenting?

Would you knowingly give a stranger your child’s face and data? That’s exactly what sharenting does.

Sharenting isn’t just a trend. It’s a pipeline that feeds the worst parts of the web. And the children have no way to consent or defend themselves.

Help spread awareness, share this now

The internet never forgets. Every detail you share about your child name, birthday, school uniform, location... becomes a piece of a digital puzzle.

Creeps and cybercriminals don’t need to hack your device. They just collect what you give away for free.

- Some build fake profiles or deepfakes using your child’s face.
- Others extract metadata from your photos to locate your home.
- Organized groups tag, catalog and exchange child content even from “harmless” public posts.
And it’s not just individuals. AdTech companies track children from infancy, building lifelong behavioral profiles they’ll never escape.
When you post, they collect. When you delete, they already stored it.

The web doesn’t need your permission, just your distraction.

You don’t own your child’s digital footprint, cybercriminals do.

What have you shared online that you regret?

Does a VPN give you privacy?
Only if you know how it works… and choose the right one.
This thread explains everything that matters in 2025

✅ What a VPN really is
✅ How it works
✅ When it helps and when it doesn’t
✅ What to avoid
✅ Scandals, logs, payments & more

Real privacy, no empty promises.

What is a VPN and how does it work?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and a remote server. All your internet traffic goes through that tunnel, hiding what you do online.

What does it achieve?

- Your internet provider (ISP) can’t see what websites you visit.
- It changes your IP, making it look like you're in a different country.
- It protects your data on public Wi-Fi.
- It encrypts your traffic, so others can’t intercept it easily.

Simple example:
Without a VPN: Your ISP sees you accessed x (.)com and the destination IP.
With a VPN: Your ISP only sees you connected to a VPN server. That’s it.

But here’s the catch:
Your VPN can see your traffic. So choosing the right one is crucial.

Wondering “what if I use VPN + Tor?”
VPN + Tor = hides Tor usage from your ISP
Tor + VPN = bypasses site blocks on Tor
But be careful: if misconfigured, you may reduce your privacy instead of improving it.
Tor already offers strong anonymity. A VPN can help in specific cases (like censorship), but it's not always better.
If needed, I’ll explain this in detail in a future thread.
Next up:
✅ Does it really protect you from your ISP?
✅ And what does the VPN actually know?

What does your internet provider see when you use a VPN?

When the VPN is active, your ISP can no longer see:
- Which websites you visit
- Which apps you use
- What you do online
All they see is that you’re connected to a VPN server. Nothing more.
But here’s the catch: the VPN can see all that traffic, because it goes through their servers. That’s why choosing a trustworthy provider is critical.

👉 What should you check?

- A strict no-logs policy (and independent audits)
- The country they’re based in (data retention laws)
- Their privacy record (have they ever cooperated with authorities?)
- Transparency reports and public legal cases

VPNs aren’t magic. They route your traffic, but now your VPN sees it. If you don’t trust your provider, you’ve just moved the problem.

In upcoming posts we’ll explain what “no logs” really means, and how to tell honest VPNs from shady ones.
