Protect your privacy with a VPN, either run your own or use one of the available providers. It's a shame you need to do this, but that's just the state of things.
Run your own with OpenVPN: https://openvpn.net https://openvpn.net
VPN providers(not affiliated, just ones myself or colleagues use):

- TomAnthony 10y agoIf you run your own VPN will they not just log traffic from the endpoint (if in the UK) then tie it to you with billing records?
- pfista 10y agoDepends where you're running your VPN. If you're running it on a server in the US they might not have access to that information.
- uabstraction 10y agoSkip the US. Our surveillance agencies are in bed, and American VPN providers can be strong-armed with an NSL. Use a VPN incorporated and with exit points in a more neutral/second-world country.
- mcorrand 10y agoSecond that! Vultr offers OpenVPN as a one click app, it's super easy to get it running on a $5 vps.
- jwtadvice 10y agoVPN will not protect your privacy, as VPN providers are monitored by state police and VPN protocols have been broken and backdoored by intelligence agencies (as disclosed in the Snowden Documents).
- EugeneOZ 10y agojust setup own vps with vpn and use encryption
- jwtadvice 10y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_Police_(surveillance_program) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_Police_(surveillance_pro... The GCHQ sit on the internet infrastructure, decrypt TLS sessions, and correlate accounts and activity to individual granularity. The backbone of the internet is tapped, including from the termination of IPSEC/IKE into your VPN out to the internet again. Giving the advice to people to "use encryption" and "use VPN" is going to get people killed. Please, be responsible.
- EugeneOZ 10y agoDecrypt tls sessions? Please fuck off.
- xorxornop 10y agoThey do, if your connection can be forced into using a low grade cipher, or you made the mistake of allowing DH[E] with a common group. Both mistakes which were (are?) common, incidentally. They were decrypting a good fraction of global TLS traffic not so long ago...
- EugeneOZ 10y agoIt's social engineering, not tls decryption.
- josscrowcroft 10y agoI use https://ipredator.se https://ipredator.se. "IPredator was launched in 2009 as a response to a growing trend of Internet censorship, in restrictive regimes as well as so-called open societies. Our main goal is to provide a seriously non-discriminating access flatrate for the Internet." I may be mistaken, but I believe it was built by or connected somehow with The Pirate Bay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPredator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPredator
