It's usually SWF. Some features include:

    - No javascript of any type is used anywhere. In fact, CSP is used to block
      execution of any and all javascript, which makes XSS attacks impossible.
    - High security due to the use of pledge() and unveil()
    - Highly transparent moderation logs which include a reason for all
      moderation actions
    - advanced formatting, including LaTeX support
    - anyone can create their own board
    - multiple files per post
    - inline image expansion
    - per-board index and recent pages
    - paginated catalog pages and threads
    - extensive moderation tools

Show HN: SmokeVPN – All-in-One WireGuard VPN Hub – Switch Exits in Realtime

Show HN: SmokeVPN – All-in-One WireGuard VPN Hub – Switch Exits in Realtime I have started developing a prototype of a WireGuard VPN hub, where I could set a custom exit to a specific device, for example, my TV box would use a VPN in Germany, while my desktop a VPN is Serbia and I could switch the exit in realtime without having to stop the VPN connections and consequently no disconnections (ssh, etc).<p>The project grew, and I ended up adding SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy, Tor exits, exit pools, random exits, timed exits, and exits&#x2F;routes based on domains or IP addresses. I also added an in-house DNS with several default block lists (malware, gambling, social media, etc.)<p>I found this project to have potential and decided to commercialize it, Smoke VPN was born.<p>The logs live entirely on the RAM, and I plan to open-source the full stack as soon as I get feedback from real users, people like you...<p>Can you please try the project for free for 7 days or 50 GB (whichever comes first)?<p>You don&#x27;t need an account, email or password and you can add up to 10 devices.<p>Real feedback is truly welcome!
