> and membership is a signed record they each carry, not a question they ask a server.

Sigh..

I like the project though. It looks very similar to something I vibed up recently, must be in the air

What’s the sigh to, out of curiosity, just because this makes revocation hard?

The grandparent comment is correctly pointing out the sentence is an LLM tell.

"Membership is a question they ask a server" is a bogus sentence. "membership" is not a "question". It's syntactically valid semantic nonsense.

"Membership is dictated by a server" is one of several human sentences saying what that one is trying to.

Going from starting the project two weeks ago to already having a flashy marketing site is another tell, unfortunately. As much as I would love to see a trustworthy version of this idea.

Actually the flashy website was built 4 years ago by another person. We actually tried to build it 4 years ago, but other ventures with higher upside kept our focus. Now you get a VPN for free, no strings attached, although it is vibecoded you still complain :cry:

If you dont like it dont use it

Partly. Partly because using EUF-CMA pins the record to the CA which makes membership deniability non-trivial which I don't love. It's not dumb, it's what Signal uses AFAIK and in transit message deniability is different than the signer. But still..

Also that sentence structure is very claudelike.

English is not my mothertongue, therefore I told Claude (and GLM-5.2) to improve the wording as much as they could.
