Indeed, totally not practical. First, it is a very impressive paper that got into the flagship conference. It presents and solves an intriguing puzzle. The implied attacker model: you are safe unless your packet traverses an unsafe country.

Open Hardware, 2-layers only; nice. At $59.99 this sounds like a good price point for a 168 MHz Cortex-M4. Complete with datasheets and Gerber files: https://github.com/armstrap/armstrap_eagle/tree/master&#x2F

we are not an anti-spook project and never claimed to be. Our aim is to give an option where there is none. We will make our warning more elaborate and will work differently with bloggers/journalists in the future.

Thank you for defending our work. The media space is where society thinks; online videos need anonymous access. Our attack model is indeed an adversary of moderate sophistication, also our architecture is design to evolve the coming years t

Note that the anonymity comes from a dedicated Tor-like network that follows the Tor protocol specifications quite closely. This network requires no central (directory) servers and is based on bandwidth donations from the users themselves.

The article mentions "hundreds of millions of new users". That would be great news for privacy on The Internet. But it would surely slow the Tor network to a halt. Users trying out privacy-enhancing technology would be disappointe

The key new feature of this release is Tor-like anonymous Bittorrent downloading. This is not using 'the' Tor network. This software has build-in support for a fork of the Tor protocol. That network is tuned for Bittorrent. It use
