2) Start blackpainting it in all media, and look for an excuse to invade..

3) Tell then that “your either with us or with the terrorists..” If they don’t get it, nuke them and be done with it…

Certainly, many people I know, didn't understand or hear of TPB until the trial was heavily reported on UK media. A couple of people I know went to download from there who had never dloaded before, a) to be curious and b)incase they couldn't ever again. So the trial generated a massive ineterest - not quite what was wanted. However TPB reliabilty, many report is less than it was....some success but with a cost of increased awareness Good post @h33t

I want to use a VPN but how can I continue to host public-facing services on the same machine? I don't want the services VPNified, just web browser/other mainly. Is there something like a SOCKS-to-VPN client I could use? On topic... a ganders at the <a href="https://stats.linx.net/aggregate.html" rel="nofollow">LINX</a> 'Decade' graph looks to show a similar ramp-up of traffic in the 2nd half of each of the years shown. <a href="https://www.ams-ix.net/statistics/" rel="nofollow">AMS-IX</a> and <a href="https://www.de-cix.net/content/network.html" rel="nofollow">DE-CIX</a> yearly look to show the same, too. I'm not too convinced that if IPRED didn't (supposedly) have the effect it did on April 1st, that the traffic rate wouldn't be ~30% higher than is displayed now based on the 'typical' rise seen in the LINX/AMSIX/DECIX graphs (as in raise april-present in the netnod graph by ~30% and it might just look 'normal' by comparisson). Could it be said that IPRED saved the providers ~7-months worth of infrastructure upgrades? Guys, help me out here.

VPNs provide nothing other than a false sense of security. Sure, they can make it harder for you to track, but not impossible. The FBI hires the best of the best, and they will have no trouble finding someone. VPNs are no different than people on cop shows who you see engaged in a futile effort to outrun cops. Sure, they can delay their capture, but they are living on borrowed time.
