Right. Part of the reason for this is that a wide variety of household devices use the same portion of the spectrum. Cordless phones and cordless baby monitors, for example. Since I don't want my telephone conversations rebroadcasted on the neighbor's baby monitor, I use a 900Mhz cordless phone. It's digital and encrypted.
I'm not plotting a coup or conducting drug deals, but I still value my privacy.
You can download the source code for the distributed.net client. Since this is the case, I very much doubt that distributed.net is being used to "chain ourselves unknowingly." It's an interesting idea though. I wonder when the other distributed computing projects will make their source code available for review.
yes, FreeBSD has IP Masq -- it's called natd. They also have a packet filtering interface called ipfw. The stuff in Linux 2.0.* is quite similar to this with (I think) ipfwadmim.
I used to run FreeBSD at home with a private network using NAT to get out. I liked it a lot and found it very stable and easy to maintain. I switched to Linux so I could run FreeSWAN.
