A Night in the Hotel: The Whole Privacy Kit Working Together

Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. The video then plays in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode.

One evening in a hotel room with the Communication Suite fully set up in nested mode: what each device is doing, the order it was set up in, the evening routine, and what the hotel network, the local carrier, the VPN provider, hotel housekeeping staff and the satellite network can each see. Then the kit's other tested mode, and the honest limits.

The honest limits

In nested mode the hotel can recognize the router's WireGuard tunnel. One VPN provider stays one trust domain. The hotel login is an exposure window. Tested over IPv4; IPv6 is still pending.
