The Pirate Bay's Plans To Encrypt the 'Net
Keeper Of Keys writes "According to newteevee.com, The Pirate Bay, those fun- and freedom-loving Swedes, have embarked on a project to encrypt all internet traffic, probably by means of an OS-level wrapper around all network connections, which would fall back to an unencrypted connection when the other end is not similarly equipped. The move has been prompted by a recent change in Swedish law, allowing the authorities to snoop on network traffic. This will be a boon to filesharers and anyone else concerned about authorities and trade groups' recent moves towards 'policing' network traffic at the ISP level."

Hi Jeff. I've been archiving copies of that porn site you started with your girlfriend. Cool security setup you've got though. Glad its working out. Tor exit node campers ftw!
For over 2 years I have been encrypting my internet connection using a roll-my-own solution. I trust my ISP implicitly - they are one of the few good guys left in the ISP arena. I don't trust my government.
China or something? Oh, no, wait, you must be from the US!
The sad thing is I don't even have anything to hide. But I detest the idea that someone, somewhere, might be monitoring what I'm doing. I use an anonymous email service with PGP encryption, I do all my browsing over a VPN connection to a (cheap) VPS server in another country. For added protection I can then tunnel using SSH to another server in another country which then uses tor to make my final connection.
Do you fully trust your VPS provider? A VPS is even easier to be snooped onto than a good-ol' iron server in some datacenter, imho.

My CPU is brand new so would that be statutory rape?
