A VPN. ISPs and Telcos have made it abundantly clear that without significant legal and financial pressure, they will never respect the slightest modicum of consumer privacy.
- jimktrains2 9y agoAnd how do I know the VPN is trustworthy?
- Whitestrake 9y agoOne option would be paying for a VPS on AWS or Linode or DigitalOcean or Vultr or any number of similar providers - pick the lowest spec machine, raw network throughput is not very hardware dependent - and set the VPN up yourself. Streisand is pretty useful for this purpose. https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand
- nasredin 9y agoIf you go that route, please set up hosts-based adblocking as a FU to the advertising industry.
- closeparen 9y agoWhy is a random VPS provider's ISP more trustworthy than your own?
- detaro 9y agoNot intrinsically, but the VPS providers ISP has less knowledge about me than my home ISP. And I have a lot more choice between VPS providers than home ISPs.
- libertyEQ 9y agoYou could run your own off of a cheap VPS (e.g. DO, Linode, Vultr, etc.), or your home router if it has that ability (e.g. openWRT). This is getting to be ridiculous.
