Small point.
This is about protecting yourself from ISP logging now required by government. Using a VPN and to tunnel your connection via [another country] may not be sufficient to avoid the government snooping Snowden talked about, as referred to in the article.
- your_ai_manager 10y agoYou're quite right. It's more akin to drawing your curtains and locking your front door. Anyone with enough motivation can break in but at least it's not all out on display.
- wlll 10y agoThere is a secondary risk, and that is that ISPs (who IME often don't have skills or decent budgets for this sort of thing) are storing your data. At some point an ISP is going to get hacked for this data. At least re-routing to a server somewhere bypasses that storage, even if it doesn't protect against overarching state snooping.
