| encrypted proxy? So is it time to start seriously considering a good fast encrypted proxy to everything?
This tracking ought to be flat out illegal.
Invasion of personal info at this level should be reserved solely for a PROBABLE CAUSE of inspecting one's communications, AFTER a warrant has been issued for a GOOD FRAKING REASON!
How do I determine if an ISP is doing this?
Opting out sounds like the path of least resistance in such cases, but dammit, this is just so wrong.
So we have everything tapped by "the man" now, and now this, probably another tap somewhere else...
when is enough enough?
How much latency does all this insanity add to connections?
Glad to know the engineers don't like it. Good for them being able to totally bypass it as well.
As customers (we PAY for this? Wait, we PAY THEM to track us even more? To ADD further latency, and to ADD further problems to their own network!) this is an outrage. Only real thing we can probably do is to start using some serious proxies.
They can eat my encrypted packets that appear to only flow to a few random places if this is the game they want to play. |

Arlington, VA | that will just clog your connection, possibly expose you to legal penalties, and may well not even fool NebuAd. encrypted tunneling is a far better way to protect your privacy. |

How would my browsing "habit" be illegal? I can open and close 1000 pages a minute if I want too. What makes it illegal? I am as legal as they are going through my history...This guys are like dumpster divers, and I am just feeding them junk ! |

Trust me, you don't want your computer visiting 1000s of URLs unless you know for sure they're all safe. In this day and age an HTTP request from your IP address to another is enough for the feds to come crushing down on you, it seems. |
