"We are not looking for sneaky ways to surveil Canadians" says minister, as he introduces a bill that allows him to demand that any web service they choose to victimize must assist them in the surveillance of Canadians and that they can't tell anyone about it.

Looks like I'll have to find a non-Canadian VPN provider. What a pain.

I'm still using Proton, which is Swiss. Yes, they are still subject to Swiss law (I am aware of the recent controversy over Swiss authorities turning over data to the FBI), but that's a lot more reliable than anything subject to this nonsense. It's a shame because I really wanted to like Windscibe, but not if this passes.

Firefox has a VPN, which is good to fund as an alternative to Google.

I personally use unbound with my pihole, it is my personal DNS as I understand at how it works.

That's a different type of server, but I guess it too would be at risk if you had someone else hosting it for you — any service at all could be given orders to install secret wiretap facilities for cops and spies, according to they way they're written the law.
