Seriously, if it doesn’t come auto-enabled, just click on R4 encrypt. It won’t hurt, we promise.

ummm… how would the seed computers know where to send the packets if they didn’t have your IP?

that’s is a pretty dumb question.

You can’t use a fake IP.
Your messages would reach the other end just fine, but you would get nothing back because return messages would be going to the wrong place.

You can use proxies, onion routing and various other tricks to hide your IP, but you can’t just enter the net with a fake one.

what we need is a client that uses your IP address as a internal ip and then transmits with a fake one over the net (not sure if thats at all possible or not i havent really looked into it but i just thought it then)

Are you kiding?

Mute work great! Just not very popular yet. Still you can download tons of stuff with mute.

OVer was you can use any P2p application anonymously including BT via Thor.

Just try it!

For a human yes but for a software it is another story.

To be fair, I2P is one of the more promising ideas I’ve seen. The main problem lies in scalability of throughput.[/quote]

I guess we can argue about the semantics until the cows come home, the bottom line is that i2p does not use ip addresses to comunicate between the endpoints.

The ip addresses of the other nodes running i2p in the network are completely meaningless. At best they show that you’re actually running i2p.

Promising indeed, if this takes off the M.A.F.I.A.A will be completely dead in the water.

It does need further development [read more features & better searching] but if everyone went there we would be much better off.

“the number of people who actually use encryption and it is currently slightly below 10%”

wtf, so how do *you* know?

There’s a few things wrong with this article though, especially the blind faith that an ISP cannot detect encrypted torrent traffic. There’s at least 2 easy ways to identify it 100%.
You shouldn’t be so quick to point out flaws in others articles unless yours is bulletproof.

1. there’s no reason with nowadays CPUs use encrypted connections. Everytime you don’t encrypt anything, you give the ISP the chance to sniff it which means sooner or later some politician will order them to sniff it. If everybody encrypts, ISPs have a good chance to say: We can’t do shit about it, it’s all encrypted. The only thing THEY can then do is to make encryption illegal. However that’s not only dumb, such laws might actually make people wake up. Maybe.

2. My ISP plays fair but the other one’s might not. Both sides have to enable encryption in order to make it work. Thus, everybody should enable it and show his solidarity with the poor suckers in the land of the free. Just have a look at your traffic, you can easily see the forged TCP-RST floods from Comcasters.

You obviously haven’t bothered to look into it at all, how’s that for “trying to be smart”?[/quote]

Actually it’s a layer on top of IP. This means there are still IP addresses being passed between individual clients and local router points and any external access points (such as HTTP proxies etc) with the outside internet.

To be fair, I2P is one of the more promising ideas I’ve seen. The main problem lies in scalability of throughput.

Don’t try to be smart when you don’t know the fundamental facts of the net.[/quote]

Actually I2P doesn’t and no it’s not proxying “to hide the source ip” either.

You obviously haven’t bothered to look into it at all, how’s that for “trying to be smart”?

And I will explain to you that there is no such thing as encrypted BT traffic without a user deciding to enable it.
Something the vast majority of them decided to do based on a belief it would hide what they were sharing.
So the police, explaining that this won’t achieve this protection, are entirely correct.

Have you never heard of PeerGuardian?
The % of BT users who believe, employ and recommend BS useless countermeasures based entirely on misconceived notions of how protocols and networks work is rather high.

DEMONOID IS GONE AGAIN!
