'I cannot sign drivers, which means I cannot ship updates for WireGuard for Windows,' the creator of the VPN protocol says. On X, a Microsoft rep says he's working to get accounts unblocked.
@Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works was faster than me (thanks!). Yes, as of now, firmware updates for existing models are only allowed for yet another year and must be discontinued after. As always in this administration, the reasons given for these measures (Chinese attacks on US infrastructure) are built on lies and misinformation (none of the attacks targeted consumer routers). Hence, this is likely just another shakedown: “pay us a bribe or we’ll damage your opportunities to do business in the US.” Depending on whether foreign router vendors opt to go this route and give in to the orange grifter’s demands, things may be different in a years’ time.
Could you in theory demand a refund from the government if you were willing to switch to their backdoor US hardware now?
From a government of the Epstein class, by the Epstein class, for the Epstein class? No. You most certainly cannot.
“Waiver Expiration: This permission to receive updates for existing routers is currently scheduled to last until at least March 1, 2027, at which point the agency will re-evaluate.”
I didn’t realize this either until this persons comment you replied to. Scary as fucking hell shit dude. Honestly. We have lost so much freedom over the years.
They didn’t get any punishment for that coup and Biden was a piece of shit that lost us abortion while wearing a fucking MAGA hat right before the election like the piece of shit tool he is. The fact no one fucking put two and two together over these established Dems is why we’re here.
Then they beat you down if you dare say this to anyone.
Why the fuck did he wear a MAGA hat? That’s why I’ll never trust those fucking assholes.
My guess?
NSA is currently figuring out how to insert backdoors into all these things.
You see, the last backdoor they used all the time, well… people figured it out.
So, they had to ban uh, checks notes, apparently all routers, basically.
So, now they need a new backdoor into literally everything.
And ban firmware updates for existing models.
Meanwhile, Russian state hackers use vulnerabilities in old routers to poison DNS and steal credentials through MITM attacks. Agent Krasnow just keeps delivering.
Whoa, I heard about banning non US routers, they also banned firmware updates on existing hardware?

Yikes! That is insane ontop of the already insaneness of the banning.
