One that's safe, uncensored, with decent refresh rate?

Apparently, the route I'm being put through at the moment seems to be heavily moderated and/or censored for whatever reason.
I'd prefer not to use tor, but this supposed 'filtering' has become annoying, I do my own filtering at home but still forced into some 'sandbox' by ISP.
Kinda tired of that thing. Some sites used to have ~20-30 posts per minute, now 3-4 posts per hour. Some sites which had 50 posts per night a year ago, now 1-2 per night and 10-15 per day.
So I guess it's just some locally 'moderated' cache, while the deal that was made is that I pay for internet traffic not "internet" traffic.

I am confused by the term "tech news proxy". Do you mean a news site? Do you mean a news aggregator site? Do you mean a news aggregator application? Please clarify.

I had the same question as wpeckham.

As an aside, I was thinking of this post today and realized that my favorite tech news site for a long time been The Register, but I don't know whether it's the sort of site you're looking for.

Same here. If it is news aggregation, then maybe one choice is Tux Machines which even has an RSS feed. Another, if discussion is required, would be Soylent News

Part of the problem is that /. has changed owners enough times that it has no resemblance to what it was in its heyday in regards to either community or content. HN is anti-FOSS as are the owners of Reddit. A few years ago, lots of people got kicked out of their own 'subreddits' generally if they were pro-FOSS. And PJ retired Groklaw. So there's not much to recommend.

Wired was good before it changed owners. The Register is recovering but took a hard blow about 20 years ago. TechDirt was good for a long time but went off the rails a while back. Walled Culture is rather good but quite focused on copyright.

There's not much out there and every month it seems to be a little less.

Ok, sorry for the confusion, I meant a website which updates its cache more often than my ISP does.
Kinda like web.archive.org but that one seems very slow, even though it sometimes has new snapshots of stuff not available (on my network) yet.

My main problem with this "safe internet" is that I used to read tech news at night and sites brought news before the local news outlets picked them up.
But now, since few years ago or something, nothing is being updated at night. Local news get news before I get them, even if I surf at US business hours.

Regarding reddit, yeah it's the huge part of the problem, few years ago (at US business hours) it used to dish out 20-30 tech articles including hundreds of comments, per night.
Now, well, lucky if there's a 4-5 articles, each with 2-3 comments. Looks like a completely fake site (to me) now compared to what it used to be, pretty sure it's localized.

So I ask, maybe some of you got some webcache, I mean I have access to few proxies but some of them have not updated libcurl for 2 years.
Anyone tried cliqz (mozilla's proxy network) or the one from duckduckgo? Is that any good?

Personally I use a news aggregator targeting multiple RSS feeds from tech news sites. I get some duplication, but a reasonable spread of news. Alas, getting news FIRST does depend upon them putting news in the feed, and if they get it LATER than other media then so will I.

I know of no solution for that other than to become a reporter and get the scoop first.

What? You mean if I like watching foreign TV and it's geoblocked, then I should just become a TV celebrity?
Seriously messed up logic right there man, I'm just trying to read news when they're released by the source, and not the day after when they are vetted by someone.

Anyway, I give up, whatever. Solution: Net neutrality out the window.
Just saying the internet costs the same now as it used to, while content is nowhere near what it used to be.

Only reason why I asked in security forum is because I assumed there might be a safe/secure service to get around the geo limitation.

In that case, it seems that you are looking for a VPN. There are quite a few to choose from but they all have monthly fees. Even if you set up your own on a VPS that will cost some money. That will give you more control but only one exit node per VPS. If you want to be able to choose from various countries on multiple continents then try NordVPN or Mullvad or another similar VPN service.

Thanks, but I already have an internet bill I must pay every month, don't need another one.
More interested in things like proxfree, etc. which is/was just a site-specific service and not a tunnel for all traffic.

Ahh, I think I see. You want to find a solution that is already in place, is universal, is effective, and that is FREE!

If you find that, please tell the rest of us.

This is a feature of this forum itself. It's the Syndicated Linux News subforum.

That's a great advice, but I already noted web.archive.org sometimes works for my use case, it's just slow.

What they (isp) advertise is internet access, but good luck with anything outside their cache server..
Which is filled with YT, FB, Insta, Whatsap, Twiter, MS, and co. But if you want tech news well tough luck you bettter wait until morning when it's no longer news.
Or, if you want "tech" news, you can read gossip about some local celeb chick who dumped some dude and it's "tech news" because she used twitter to do it.
Man I started hating the "web" so much..
I only realize this because I don't ever read the social network stuff on purpose, instead it's been constantly shoveled into my general direction.
What I'm interested, among other things, was GLSA for example; and not only it's become stale, it's now 3-4 months out of date.

@dugan
Yes, I'm aware of that. Title is good, but "half the first sentence" is not.
Because it baits you into going there only to find out "half the first sentence" was debunked later on in the article.

For Youtube, there is the Invidious front-end for it. Additionally, there are a lot of domains in that set of front-ends.

This thing is great, apparently it removes everything I hated about youtube and dishes out direct google video urls.
Some instances are better some worse, some proxy the google content some don't, but mostly its been very good.
Sincerely hoping this remains available, regardless of the recent c&d attempt. Some folks just can't stand the competition i guess..
