How will this stop governments from forcing ISPs to block sites? Its ridiculous to assume that the governments censoring content will let ISPs provide a loophole through which their users can access blocked sites..
- KevinEldon 15y agoAlthough the article says ISP, what they mean is any intermediate hop between the requester and the destination. So any network outside of the control of the censoring government could provide this service.
- mdaniel 15y agoIt is my cursory understanding that 1. the government will not be able to identify "secret" transmissions from normal ones and 2. it only requires the participation of one hop along the route to succeed. Given that my path from Paris to wikipedia.org is 18 hops [excluding my immediate upstream hop], that is a pretty big swatch for hiding "compliant" ISPs.
