How are VPNs related to end-to-end encryption?
- nicce 3mo agoTheir primary purpose is usually encrypt the connection between different endpoints… by creating virtual private networks…
- PhilipRoman 3mo agoWhen we talk about "E2EE" messenger apps, that usually means more than just using HTTPS. VPNs can certainly help with encryption in transit, but that's a very different concept. Unfortunately this comes up a lot, with people asking if Immich supports end-to-end encryption and getting told to use LUKS or Tailscale.
