Porn to be blocked!!

[Clown Shoes]

Aww have you nothing better than that? Insinuation that I might be up to something dodgy....

 

Come back when you have a real argument chuck, mmkay?

 

I said it seems like youve got something to hide. Dodgy or not.

 

Or maybe you like to think of yourself as an anarchist, anti-capitalist or even worse, a socialist.

 

With no real agenda but to just look like your rebelling.

[Crosser]

You have no idea who i am or what i know.

 

What i do know from your posts, is that your worried that the authorities will see what your looking at on the internet & what your downloading.

 

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut.

 

 

It may come as a shock/surprise, that "the authorities" already know what people down/upload, every single byte is monitored & saved somewhere (Either by your ISP and/or agencies who may have an interest in you for whatever reason).

 

Anyone who thinks otherwise is ill informed or just stupid.

I refer you to the useful transport protocols called TOR, and SSL/TLS

Not with some of the cyber experts on this thread.

 

Havent you read the previous posts?

 

Those guys are using programs like Tor to avoid network surveillance and traffic analysis. Probably to buy stuff like legals highs on the 'Silk Road'

Still has to go through your ISP first, the ISP has first hand "grab" at anything you do, so traffic is always monitored there.

 

Unless you have a backbone connection which only you can control, then you cannot circumvent trafficking through your ISP who WILL log your activities regardless of the protocol.

And what are they going to log? They cannot see what's inside the tunnel all they know is I connected to a proxy server that is connected to a backbone outside the UK....

So if someone looks at child porn or indecent images using programs like Tor, they can still be detected?

They, the ISP can see every single bit you send/receive if they so choose...

 

It isn't rocket science to realise that once they have that info they can do as they wish with it.

 

Connecting to a proxy makes you invisible to the remote server, but not to your ISP as they hold ALL the cards.

[Obelix]

No, they really cannot. If it's been wrapped in an encrypted tunnel the only people who can see what's being sent are the web browser and the remote server - it's secure along it;s whole length. That's what makes online banking feasible for example, otherwise any ISP could sniff you banking details.

 

All they can see is who you are talking to. If you work through a proxy they can only do that if the proxy server has logging turned on. If you work through TOR all they know is that you connected to a TOR server, they cannot even tell what endpoint you are talking to.

Ask Obelix , He's the resident expert.

 

BTW "TOR" isn't a "program"

 

 

 

I'm going to bed.
