VPN is a cryptographic means to protect privacy. I find it offensive that Comcast is telling me that I can't use their system unless I stop using certain privacy tools. There is something wrong about an ISP, given their superior bargaining position, telling consumers what tools they can or can't use to protect their privacy. As far as I know, this is the first time an ISP has restricted a subcriber's ability to protect their privacy. This is a BIG step in the wrong direction.
