Tool beeps every time data is sent to Google
I have done something a tad different.<p>I am running my custom made proxy (dns blocking like pihole is a joke, you can circumvent it as simply as <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;2899908462" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;2899908462</a> ) with interesting features like ASN ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Autonomous_system_(Internet)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Autonomous_system_(Internet)</a> ) blocking and for fun I have blocked all google ASNs.<p>Half of the internet stopped working.<p>Then I have expanded this to google, microsoft, amazon, facebook ASNs.<p>The whole internet stopped working. From all search engines I am aware of, only yandex.ru was still operational.<p>What you are seeing with beeping is just a tip of iceberg. The google is getting far more data from its cloud.<p>I don&#x27;t believe that most of advanced users are aware of, how deep the rabbit hole of internet centralization has gone.<p>And until people figure out how important self hosting actually is, it is only going for worse (yeah, I understand how convenient, blah, blah... the cloud is).
