Try the I2P anonymous network where by default every user is also a router. You can chain the two together, set I2P to use an outproxy and set the Tor browser to connect through I2P.
I have no clue as to what security this provides nowadays. I predict the NSA or FBI have large scale packet timing correlation in operation now. Or the random number generator has been compromised, or there are a series of bugs in the Tor or I2P implementation itself? I also think there was a human compromise of the Tor Project itself 8-9 years ago as well, it has been significantly weakened.
Personally I tend to like one-way data broadcasting systems, that way the receivers cannot be traced if they are air-gapped, e.g. satellite or radio data broadcasting. However nobody operates any useful service nowadays. Twenty years ago you could receive the whole worldwide Usenet feed with a DVB-S PCI card, unencrypted in the clear from a service called Cidera[1]. It was just UDP multicast packets containing Usenet messages, split into fragments with sequence numbers, trivial to reverse engineer.
I had this at service home, we had dial-up and with a 55cm satellite dish in my bedroom window, I had a 45Mb/s data feed. I wrote my own software including a device driver for the DVB-S card running under FreeBSD (4.2-RELEASE I believe). Nearly 1000x faster than dial up, which was mind-blowing back then.
Also archiving Nostr text messages is interesting, you can get the entire worldwide feed of messages from the relays, and then search for whatever topic of interest you want in the messages. Nobody can tell what you are searching for, unless your computer is compromised. I'm thinking about broadcasting these by satellite somehow, but satellite bandwidth is very expensive. It's just a matter of getting the funds for it.
Reception should be possible using a RTL-SDR or AD9364+USB3.0 microcontroller[2], and a satellite TV dish. The AD9364 chip can be had from AliExpress[3] for $6 now.

- mdip 3y agoI thought I was a veteran of the early internet/Usenet enough to know most of the ins and outs but this DVB-S Usenet is new to me. That sounds like a pretty unique approach to Usenet content delivery. I wonder if anything else/similar has existed/exists (unlikely in Usenet and I can't think of something quite as useful).
