I, for one, have completely resigned myself to the idea that my employer, government and neighbors know all of the most shameful elements of my Internet usage. I haven't yet seen an approach to the privacy problem that delivers acceptably anonymous results for acceptably low effort, while simultaneously leaving my connection speed and latency relatively intact.
My experience with Tor was limited and was several years ago, but it felt like I'd returned to a 28k modem...except the entire Internet had begun to serve content on the implicit assumption that I at least had a few megabits of pipe. Do these routers actually offer a solid cornerstone of the kind of solution I've been waiting for?
- dewey 12y agoIt's really not that slow any more, it's actually quite usable for regular browsing and if you catch a slow route a reconnect usually fixes that.
- robertfw 12y agoI wonder how much of this is solvable through re-engineering applications to assume high latency - preferably also adding in a fairly heavy dash of decentralization at the same time.
- mahyarm 12y agoWell a VPN would be a lazy way to limit it to just your govt. Now I need to figure out a way to have *.corp addresses not use VPN.
- middleclick 12y agoYou should try out the network today. "Several years" ago was drastically different.
- mike-cardwell 12y agoIf you haven't used Tor in several years, you're not really qualified to comment on the current state of Tor.
