At some point I have to start wondering if Putin pays these sorts of people.

Serious question.. how?

Is everything on Lemmy traceable back to the source?

[-] nickwitha_k 4 points 1 month ago

If it's networked, it's traceable.

I'm using a VPN. How would that work?

[-] nickwitha_k 3 points 1 month ago

VPNs didn't make things untraceable at all. That's not what they are for. They are just a method for encrypting traffic between two networks that have connectivity to the public Internet. Traffic from your machine to the VPN entrypoint gets routed just like any other network traffic. A relatively passive MitM can readily see where packets are going to/arriving from based upon the headers.

ips are probably logged somewhere between here and there
