Unfortunately most people don't care or don't care to know. On a side note, why not to have our own separate internet? I've been thinking about OpenVPN tunnels

I've been thinking about OpenVPN tunnels between dedicated servers and letting users connect to them over vpn links, of course. This would form a closed network with services inside.
It's a sad commentary, but having privacy friendly network sounds like a breath of fresh air just 20 years after the Internet took off.
- CountHackulus 16y agoWhat you're proposing there sounds a lot like the Xnet in Cory Doctorow's book Little Brother [1]. But I do agree with your comment that it's a sad commentary about the state of government and regulation, that a private network like this sounds like a pretty good idea.

- bincat 16y agoThank you for the link. Looks like a good read. My idea of the network like this is more about privacy than anonymity. And it shouldn't be too hard to set it up. I am just bouncing the idea around to see what others think of it.

Pandora's "free and instant information" box has been opened, I don't think you'll ever be able to close it again. "Joe Plumber" on the internet will also care the first time someone hacks his bank account because his bank was using one of these backdoorable encryption schemes for online banking.
