Can anyone explain to me why the fuck the aus government logo appears on bookmark icons? I think it only appears like this when DNS hasn't fully resolved yet and you bookmark before it completes. Using waterfox. Bookmark in screenshot was for 8ch.net

Compare the tab icon for infrastructure.gov.au. It's identical. Can anyone reproduce this? Drag the tab onto you bookmark toolbar before immediately after entering an address. wtf

Wireshark didn't capture any unusual packets. I whoised all the non-local IPs, nothing atypical, maybe I'm just being paranoid…

I remember hearing some news of a government filter being applied to Australian internet recently.

And another one for about:blank…… oh my god it was only a bookmark I made like 6 months ago for an aus gov website that didn't finish loading, so the aus gov logo appeared for about:blank. Fuck me. A thread died for this shit.

I've heard some similar things. Apparently VPNs don't provide any security at all anymore in Aus (from government bodies anyway). There was a news article a few months back about backdoors being built into encrypted chat programs. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened with VPNs too.

There was legislation passed a few years ago requiring ISPs to store user metadata for at least two years which caused a huge commotion on Whingepool.

Some form of reference would be nice. If a VPN can provide some minimal form of security to Americans I struggle to believe that the Australian Government holds more power in being able to circumvent VPNs.

He's wrong. A VPN can only be made insecure by the VPN provider. The traffic between the user and the VPN is encrypted. The ISP can tell that the traffic is encrypted and the connection you are connected to. Under the current metadata laws, the only information the government has is your IP address.
Most good VPNs do not log traffic, but if you use services that log your IP your identity can be comprised and people have been convicted on this information. Google services log your IP and if you were going someone illegal that there is evidence you were connect to an IP at the time the other crime was committed. Not definitive proof but still evidence.

There can be different types of information leaks while connected to a VPN, but most decent providers should provide their own program that overcomes these difficulties or provides detailed instructions to overcome these issues.
