just my 2 cents, if audits keep failing and protocols get scrutinized, maybe it's time to question if these solutions are even worth it anymore or if the whole trust thing is just a house of cards atm.
ngl bruh, totally feel u, been in the game long enough to see how shaky some of these setups are. my tip always keep a backup plan, like a secondary vpn or proxy ready, just in case. never rely on one single thing for security, always have options
