VPN / Proxy or Whatever

[Cliphead]

Now that the Tories are planning on passing laws to allow eavesdropping on internet, email, texting etc, I'm thinking about having the ability to surf / email anonymously. Bugger all to hide just the principle of it.

Any recommendations technical or paid for services that any of you have experience of?

It's a bit late to be concerned about that now imo.

You think "they" haven't been eavesdropping that stuff already? I'd be amazed if "they" aren't already doing it.

Not in any rush to implement anything.

This is technical so if you don't have anything constructive to say then fck off there's a good chap.

I use relakks .....

Now the question is, why are you using it?

If you are concerned with the digital rights bill, infringement letters, etc, then get a VPN service.

If you are concerned about your government eavesdropping on you a VPN service is a waste of money. All electronic communications globally have been monitored worldwide for over three decades.

Also regardless of what VPN service you use, if the UK authorities approach them and provide evidence that you may have committed a crime that carries a jail term, they have to hand over your logs.

The simple fact is it's very easy to monitor you if someone is so inclined to. VPN services can't offer any protection at all. If they are tapping/eavesdropping on you, you are already on their radar, too late sucker.

They have been for a while. I'd like to see my file just out of curiosity but that wont ever happen.


What's amazing, is simple agencies like MI5 and the amount of storage they have available (enough for a multi page document on every UK citizen).

VPN to where, to protect yourself how? you would have to come out to the DMZ at some point, therfore encryption would be dropped from that point.
