Re: do non-USA outlet VPNs defeat this? said by NormanS:said by Packeteers:if you are on a VPN that outlets to Europe using an OpenVPN client and keep SSL intact during browsing, would that prevent the US government from accumulating all your online activity? Bits is bits, encrypted, or not. If the bits traverse U.S. carrier networks, they get scarfed up. getting scarfed up being able to read. They would have gigabits of encrypted traffic that they would have to decrypt somehow and right quick if they want anything useful in a meaningful time frame to be able to act on it.... | |  NormanSPremium,MVM join:2001-02-14 San Jose, CA kudos:6 Reviews:
