Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Using Github Deploy Key

What / Why

Deploy key is a SSH key set in your repo to grant client read-only (as well as r/w, if you want) access to your repo.

As the name says, its primary function is to be used in the deploy process in replace of username/password, where only read access is needed. Therefore keep the repo safe from the attack, in case the server side is fallen.

How to

  1. Generate a ssh key

# Mac fix 4 - Disable CrashReporter
#
# CrashReporter is a daemon that monitors for crashes and generates a report (duh) when they occur.
# If an application (such as Finder) become stuck in an infinite crash loop, then sometimes it's
# desirable to just turn off CrashReporter entirely, as it will continually generate processes in
# the background which spew errors and logs, resulting in massive overhead to your system resources.
