vpn_over_cable
trying out a VPN tunnel from a recommended provider.
the download speed is quite impressive; it runs about as fast as my normal net connection but all traffic is encrypted by openvpn (on linux and the remote endpoint of the tunnel). its costs about $10/month (give or take) for the vpn service and since it does not look like it slows things down much, I may end up using this for all my network i/o.
you can choose which endpoint it dumps your traffic out, at (various countries). you can tell this is true by going to a site that 'senses' what geography you are coming in from and if it tries to greet you in that foreign language, you know your packets are exiting at that other country ;)
with the increased awareness of all the net.spying going on these days, more and more citizens should turn to encryption to preserve their privacy.
