Perhaps I should clarify that I am not discouraging the use of VPNs, but I am encouraging more involvement in the policy process. Indirectly, I guess I am encouraging a better understanding about the intricacies of VPN services. A hybrid ap

Some food for thought: Such data can include say, the fact that a certain person enjoys some fetishes or maybe some other similarly compromising data. The possibility for blackmail exists and therefore the possibility of your freedom being

DNSCrypt + HTTPS everywhere solves the latency issue but it doesn't solve some of the other issues. You still need the technical know-how to set up a DNSCrypt recursive resolver. The resolver then talks to the respective recursive chai

If I was a betting man - backbone providers don't do this (sell to advertisers). It would be costly to maintain the interception/analysis infrastructure required for such data collection. I daresay it would cost more than what the
