Comments on: How To Encrypt BitTorrent Traffic http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-encrypt-bittorrent-traffic/ Torrent News, Torrent Sites and the latest Scoops Fri, 25 May 2012 14:31:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Godblessyouu http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-encrypt-bittorrent-traffic/#comment-762707 Godblessyouu Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:15:00 +0000 http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-encrypt-bittorrent-traffic/#comment-762707 Even though people are saying that torrent traffic can be manipulated to fool your ISP, all traffic whether it is encrypted or not must go through your ISP DNS(s). Because your ISP gives you the WAN IP address for your modem for you to connect to the internet, whenever your modem connects to your ISP, your ISP supplies all the necessary setting to your modem to connect to their DNS servers. Therefore, no matter what the traffic is ( downloading illegal or copyrighted files) at their leisure or discretion they can monitor your traffic for any reason at any time. And as such if they think that you are breaking the law or breaking their internet usage policy, they can report you to the proper authority or ban you from ever using their internet. Simple as that. However, from what I have read and heard from people all over the internet and friends, ISPs don't really care for your traffic (illegal or not). What ISP really care and heavily monitor is your emails that you sent and receive. In fact, one of the employee from Verizon told me that. You encrypt your email, you will soon or later hear a knock on your door by the federal government. What these recent lawsuit and legal battle involving downloading bit-torrent is mainly copyrighted files or materials like music files or tv shows. ISPs won't squeal or report on you even if they find out about your illegal activities on the internet. All they want is your monthly payment. If all ISPs started to monitor every one of their customers, they will find out that over 50% of their customers has to be report to the police for illegal activities. That would goes against their business model which is to get new customers and keep them as long as you can. If they get their customers in trouble with a law, there goes their revenue and monthly payment. LOL.

Though, you are not anonymized. Someone who is using another torrent downloader still can see you and report you to TELUS.

They simply can't afford to provide the pipes for all those Gigabytes of YouTube shit, so they're implementing these new restrictions which hurt the "educated but illegal" downloader. Pipex in the UK is really temperamental. I have a dynamic IP which sometimes gets me 100Kb/s download and 50Kb/s upload, but it seems to average out more like 30/20, even when everyone else in the UK is offline. This encryption fix didn't have any immediate effect, but I found the article very interesting. I've also been experimenting with the Tor/Privoxy network and Peer Guardian to try to gain some anonymity, and they seem to be pretty useful for cutting out the crap that comes down the pipe. I'm not sure if TorrentFreak has written articles on these things, but I think more people need to learn about how to become free of ISP and external snoopers.

So they won't trigger bandwidth throttling or packet shapers.

It probably hides the content of the data being transmitted from 3rd parties but source & destination can't be encrypted or how could the network route it to the right place? Note, also, that those people looking for copyright violations are themselves downloaders directly cconnected to uploaders. The only way to obscure your identity from someone you are connected to is to use a much more sophisticated protocol designed for annonymity like freenet.

Is there something I can do to prevent them from seeing my end or is it just BS because they are tracking all illegal torrent files anyways? btw, my speed with encryption average 100-400kb/s on the downloads with good seeding so it definately works for me. if the encryption is the way to prevent packets from being identified, then how is it I still get letters from Rogers Canada saying they have had a complaint about me in The US from various companies (like MGM) who have tracked my downloading with bittorrent?

US tax dollars should fund high capacity fiber optics for our country to use just like or road infrastructures. Other contries can use what connections exist already like it is now. They could have access to the supposed tax funded fiber lines if they contributed to the cost. Thats my 2cents :P Like the creator of BitTorrent said, The internet in the states is just another public utility.
