    Info Worried about the CIA, MI5 PRISM etc?

    Nice article from the guys at LinuxFormat
    It's not all Linux based (the article that is), so Windows and Mac users should be able to make use of the info bellow:

    Beat the CIA

    The World Wide Web is the greatest system for sharing information ever created – but how do you stop it sharing too much? Ben Everard investigates.

    You’re not paranoid – they really are watching you. Criminals, web companies and governments all have a reason to spy on your online life, and the methods that they use are becoming increasingly sophisticated. 2011 was the most dangerous year to be an online citizen, particularly if you happened not to agree with everything your government said.
    199 people around the world were arrested or detained because of content they posted online. Many are still languishing in jail.
    The offending information ranged from exposes of environmental damage to religious instruction and criticism of unelected autocrats.
    Tails - available from https://tails.boum.org - can help stop anyone spying on your online activities.

    In addition, there has been a recent increase in the use of netizens’ information by web companies. Privacy policies have been extended, and Twitter now sells the rights to users’ data. Some of the self-protection methods shown here will have an impact on how you can use a computer. For most people, implementing all of them would be over the top.
    What we’re aiming to do here is show you who can find out what about you, and how to stop them. What you do with that information is, of course, up to you. Whether you are concerned about the scale of information gathered by web companies, or you are hiding from a corrupt government, read on to find out how to keep your data yours.

    Hmm that's a pretty cool idea.
    Might have a play with that.

    It's dog slow - fine if you want to maybe list a rather cheap electronic item for someone you don't like or advertise their massage business without it tracking back to you but for day to day use it's a bit of a pain.

    tor is the cia. Just tell em to fuck off on a constant basis. Always a constant unrelenting fuck off!

    Isn't a SSL VPN better than this?
