    The "transit" part is secure until its collected on. The collection part should not be happening AC.

    PRISM should have told people all about US big brand crypto standards and efforts.

    Skilled Germans who understood US production methods and budgets could have planned most of that into the 1970's.
    The USA had everything it needed back then. States who needed new jobs, workers willing to learn advanced new German engineering methods.
    German quality control and design for large projects.

    When the wider public is not allowed to talk about a product and its performance thats not a "mistake".

  5. When a company does not want people looking into its products and talking about its products?
    Its time to find a new company with better products they allow full and open discussion of.

    Its not "wishful thinking" when its collecting on the user AC... that would be a question of design.
    To collect or not to collect.

    AC the reason to use such a product is not to be collected on.
    Getting collected on further down the network is not what was expected.

    AC a VPN should offer that "privacy" part of VPN. Not just the "network" part.

    AC a VPN should be expected not to collect on any usage. Thats the reason for getting a VPN.

  10. A big brands enter a generation of demographic stupefaction.
    Workers with no skills and who will need support working.
    Once great US brands become charities? A work center for the local population?

    Products and services the world wanted to buy from the USA will be found in nations with engineers and professionals.

  11. No Tibet?
    No Taiwan?
    No Tiananmen square?
    No awkward cartoon bear?
    Emperor?

    The internet belongs to its users, not the Communist Party.

  12. A good phone, a really great phone is about US$300-400. Put a US brand name on it and it becomes $1000.
    China wants to build its own brand names and not only make parts for US brands.
    To build the brand now they will offer a low price and great quality.

  13. a AMD CPU. Enjoy some benchmarks.

    The security services are getting into and around VPN products.
    Bullrun (decryption program) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    The security services like collect/to exfiltrate/coerce private keys. Then its just real time collection. US brands offering pre-encryption access to police/US gov/mil.
    ie getting both ways in with Key Provisioning, Key Recovery. The other method is just to create and approve junk crypto with the US gov/mil as the only "creator" under the cover of cybersecurity best practice. The result is weak junk crypto in use as a standard.

  18. web site, email to tell the user about shows they could consider.
    Have a deep and wide suggestion part of the GUI thats full of news and different series.
    Make it part of the GUI that a user has to select. For competitor services, this will make users like your brands more.

  21. Thats nice AC. Until the same powerful methods walk out. Then get sold to anyone with cash.
    Then get given to other nations due to share faith, split loyalty.
    End up in a police collection product?
    The everyone has decryption and all internet use is weakened.
    Better to work on the best encryption and make encryption great again.

  22. Re:How much does it take for NSA to monitor a VPN? on NSA Cracked Open Encrypted Networks of Russian Airlines, Al Jazeera, and Other 'High Potential' Targets (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    AC nobody knows the math side to this.
    Has the NSA found an easy way around all consumer VPN products rather than into VPN encryption
    Is the NSA and GCHQ tracking all networks back from a VPN use and just getting in networks beyond their later VPN use?
    CIA placing devices that collect before VPN use and the NSA ensures their data flow out of nations?
    Some sort of design problem network wide that only the NSA/GCHQ discovered over decades makes all collection very easy?

    PRISM could be the way to understand this. Collection is at the origin before any later difficult VPN networking.

  23. We know of Bullrun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    The world now knows more now with this news.
    The security services know of the origin network, the VPN use in the middle and the destination network.
    Is it decryption in the middle or really perfected decrypted collection on both ends?

    When information is not kept secret and is allowed to be told to the media it is fiction.
    US methods that are secret and the results stay secret for decades.
    Thats what real national security is about.
    Real time results getting told to the media are just more domestic party politics.
