soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Is open source worth the investment?
For leading enterprises, the answer is already clear.
Open source drives innovation, improves security through transparency, and builds ecosystems that outlast products.
It is not about cutting costs. It is about building influence.

Privacy infrastructure has historically prioritized neutrality — encrypted traffic flows without inspection.
However, a new initiative involving ExpressVPN and the Internet Watch Foundation introduces a different architectural approach to restrict known CSAM domains.
The mechanism relies on OpenBoundary, a DNS-level filtering technology designed to block only domains verified by IWF.
Technical characteristics include:
• DNS resolver-level domain verification
• No deep packet inspection
• No encryption termination
• No traffic logging or user identification
If a requested domain appears on the IWF verified list, the connection is dropped at the network boundary.
The initiative - “Not on My Network” - is also encouraging adoption across the privacy infrastructure ecosystem, including CyberGhost VPN, Private Internet Access.
For security engineers, this raises an important architectural question:
Can network-level safeguards address exploitation risks without weakening encryption guarantees?
