What you agreed to
User Generated Content A new source of monetizable renewable raw material is called User Generated Content or UGC. This is an excerpt from YouTube’s TOS, same as Google, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc. Any variations are small, the substance remains the same from provider to provider: … by submitting Content to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to…
Privacy Levels
Level 0: No VPN on unmodified commercial cell phone, tablet, or computer. By default, everything you do is captured, shared, and monetized, with no benefits back to you. You are literally giving away everything. Level 1: Offramp VPN on unmodified commercial cell phone, tablet, or computer. Using the Offramp VPN you will prevent your DNS lookups from leaking and stop any snooping by your service…
What is Privacy?
Default control over your data, is privacy. Your personal metrics, financial data, geographic data, biometric data, and data that you generate, should be considered private. In most terms of service that you have agreed to, there is egregious overreach in their interpretation of data ownership, claiming nearly complete copyrights over anything you transmit over their network. “Private” means the default amount of information you give…

Post Quantum Resistance
Quantum computers will be here soon, and it is expected that the first major application that will be developed will be for the cracking of encryption keys. Using Zenfoil PQR means that a second strong ed25519 key has been *pre* shared between both your device and the server, at installation time. Adding a second equally strong key that will NOT be transmitted over the internet…
Wireguard vs OpenVPN
Takeaway Points WireGuard is an excellent choice today for high encryption strength and high speed due to less complexity and in-kernel operating system integration. Great choice if you don’t have to support any legacy infrastructure. OpenVPN while slower and considerably more complex, continues to be a good choice, particularly for larger organizations where interoperability between differing hardware, software, and legacy systems is required. Comparison of…
What is Software?
By definition, Software gets between you and what you want. Originally, software was a tool to accomplish a task. However, once the internet was commercialized, software became a way to funnel users into creating and giving up information. The invention of the “smartphone”, basically the iPhone, and the rise in popularity of Facebook are the key inflection points when hardware (phones) and software (apps) shifted…
Why you need Zenfoil
Takeaway points All data you produce no matter how inconsequential is being captured, analyzed, and stored for monetization now, and in the future. Data security and user privacy was not designed into the infrastructure of the internet. Because the constituent networks all began as private networks, there was no imperative to build in data security at that time. Service providers intentionally mislead you with Deceptive…
