Not true. Tor has demonstrated that it's entirely possible to transmit data over the internet without revealing your IP address to the party you're transmitting to.
- quickben 9y agoAt a heavy latency cost, and under dubious asumption that regular people control all exit nodes.
- Ajedi32 9y agoActually no, it doesn't matter who controls the exit nodes as long as your only concern is keeping your IP private. (Exit nodes can indeed do bad things to unencrypted traffic, but that's irrelevant for this use case.) Latency also doesn't matter here; this telemetry could take 5 minutes to reach its destination and it wouldn't matter, so long as the data is eventually received.
- quickben 9y agoHmm, I've never thought of that. I like your idea.
