> This is wrong, you should not expect political dissidents, whistleblowers, and other people in the same category to use similar techniques to protect themselves. I don't know how you can say I'm wrong when I was making the general conjecture that people in these categories use privacy-enhancing systems. I don't think you understood me well. I was not specifically referring to any particular set of techniques or systems. > You're describing a different system. The system described by kingo555 is just for home. This system is not meant to be used when roaming? Or is this a use case? > The term "timing attack" refers to something else. Which is why I specifically listed both timing attacks and traffic analysis separately. They can be interrelated at times but that's not something I feel like discussing. > If you're a political dissident, whistleblower, or someone else with law enforcement / state-level actors in your threat model, everything changes. Presumably if you are worried about law enforcement, you put the VPN endpoint outside their jurisdiction. This can make it extremely difficult to do traffic analysis, depending on who your adversary is. I appreciate the lesson in OPSEC but I only asked a simple question and you've devolved into trying to tear apart my comment for errors and lecturing me about things I already know about instead of simply answering the question. In this case, the answer is apparently "Well, your question isn't really relevant because this system is just meant for home use." One helpful sentence, no assumptions and no negativity. > I think it makes sense that not everyone has law enforcement and state-level actors in their threat model. Cool. No one was saying anything to the contrary.
