Wikileaks ISP Anonymizes All Customer Traffic To Beat Spying

In order to neutralize Sweden’s incoming implementation of the European Data Retention Directive, Bahnhof, the Swedish ISP and host of Wikileaks, will run all customer traffic through an encrypted VPN service. Since not even Bahnhof will be able to see what its customers are doing, logging their activities will be impossible. With no logs available to complete their chain of investigation, anti-piracy companies will be very, very unhappy.

In 2009, Sweden introduced the Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED). The legislation gave rights holders the authority to request the personal details of alleged copyright infringers.

This prompted Jon Karlung, CEO of ISP Bahnhof, to announce that he would take measures to protect the privacy of his customers. Shortly after Bahnhof ceased logging customer activities and with no logging there was no data to store or hand over.

Now, in the face of Sweden’s looming implementation of the European Data Retention Directive which will force them to store data, Bahnhof – who are also Wikileaks’ Swedish host – will go a step further to protect the anonymity and privacy of their customers. Soon, every Bahnhof customer will be given a free anonymizing service by default.

“In our case, we plan to let our traffic go through a VPN service, ” Bahnhof’s Jon Karlung told SR.

Bahnhof Servers

Bahnoff Servers

Since the service will encrypt user traffic, not even Bahnhof will know what their customers are doing online. If the ISP doesn’t know about their activities, then there’s not much to log. Nothing to log means there’s nothing useful to hand over to authorities and anti-piracy companies.

“Technically, this is a stealth section, we will store all data up to this point of invisibility,” adds Karlung, referring to the first-hop connection the customer makes with the company’s servers when going online.

“What happens after that is not our responsibility and is outside Bahnhof. So the only thing we are going to store is very little information, which in practice will be irrelevant.”

Of course, there will be commercial implications for other Internet service providers in Sweden if they fail to address privacy concerns as Bahnhof have done. To this end, other ISPs are believed to have plans in the pipeline to follow suit, but these are yet to be formally announced.

Bahnhof customers who don’t want to remain anonymous and would like everything they do online to be stored for a minimum of 6 months, can opt-in to be spied on – for around $8.00 per month extra.

        Wow and I’m paying $150 per month for a 60/3 connection and I have a bandwdith cap.

        • Sandra Model

          u get good deal. Here is it 1.5mb/256 upload for $129 and u get 5gb cap. If u use more they put you on 40KB/8KB upload cuts off every 10 minutes (can’t hardly download anything unless you unplug/plug back in every 10 minutes router/internet. Also the service doesn’t work with vpn so not worth it either way as 40KB shtty service is $43 a month and you can barely use it. Rather than reward stupidity, I cancelled the service after complaining to them every day for 4 months, cussing out line everyday at home, and downloading something that supposed to talk 10 minutes on 40KB only to take 8.5 hours because it gets to 99.8% and times out and you loose your whole download file and have to re-try. Talk about shtty service

          Not that dial up is any better as its $22.95 here and cuts off often and you can’t watch videos either but its better than getting ripped off by “shtband” being called broabdand (government doesn’t consider broadband to be broadband in us unless its 4-5MB/s) so they are even false advertising “broadband” and its the shttyest service in the world.

          10am – 3pm = 3gb down limit.
          4pm – 9pm = 1.5gb down 800mb up limit
          (speed throtled by 5 for 5hours for going over limits eg. 2MB down 128kbps up)

          No Limits at other times.
          I just wait til 9pm to download large files.

          Would love to buy the 100MB contract @ £45pm , with no limits at all.
          But the extra £25 is needed elsewhere.

          Really? you understand that fine eh? I guess that’s why we have a bloody revolution in the streets of the U.S. every election cycle… why we’ve had a bloody revolution every 20-50 years… right?

          we haven’t had a bloody political conflict on our soil since the civil war, and haven’t changed our political system for over 200 years. Yup. You understand just fine. Just so you know, the U.S. disagrees with itself more often than we disagree with the rest of the world. I know you hate the U.S. for some reason, it is clear. I am sorry you hate, but in all honesty, pick one nation that would have done better as a superpower? Would have promoted “human-rights” like America has?

          I’m not saying we haven’t made mistakes, hell, we’re humans. But ‘human rights’ as a political ideal was invented here. I guess you would have preferred the soviet union as a world power…

          that is so right wing propaganda; its not a internet kill switch, it will, in a emergency, remove government agency’s and important infrastructure from the internet…in case of a cyber attack, or national security; it DOES not effect private enterprises.

          This just comes from all the raciest fucks that want obama to look worse then he is, there are cyber things i disagree with obama that i can and have heard reasonable arguments, but this is just stupid.

        • Anonymous

          wow, really? The CIA, FBI, DHS, the state department, etc… are not going to cut their internet connection if the President of the United States, the commander in chief, declares an emergency due to cyber attacks and national security concerns?

          Get real. The president, if he decides he really needs this, can order the government’s internet connections cut… and can even go so far as to issue an executive order. The bill, for the restrictions you claim, is unnecessary.

          Not only is the bill unnecessary, but it is not being proposed by the President, Obama was simply mentioned because he is the one that the power is sought for. No other reason. I am not attacking Obama. You have congressmen and senators to blame for this one.

          You think the rhetoric and ‘lies’ are all right wing eh? Is Wired right wing?
          http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/01/kill-switch-legislation/

          “What’s unclear, however, is how the government would have any idea when a cyber attack was imminent or why the operator wouldn’t shutter itself if it detected a looming attack.

          About two dozen groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Library Association, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Center for Democracy & Technology, were skeptical enough to file an open letter opposing the idea. They are concerned that the measure, if it became law, might be used to censor the internet.”

          I don’t care if the President given this power is democrat or republican, conservative or progressive or liberal or libertarian… I don’t want the President unilaterally in charge of cutting the civilian communications infrastructure of the United States.

          This bill has much more in it than you think there is. Go read it.

      With encrypted logs, they have no evidence as they cannot decrypt the logs.

      Very wrong, in fact. The ISP as a provider simply has a brokered privacy deal with a VPN provider. Much like is the established norm for a privacy-interested private individual today.

      Just that Bahnhof opts to create this service as part and parcel of their standard package. Which is as it ought to be – your mailman is not authorized to read your mail after all.

    If the VPN in question resides in Sweden, the data retention directive’s Swedish law will ensure the end of the tunnel is logged. Eventually (far into the future), there will be no ISPs left willing to host these connections, and darknets will begin to appear. It will be the end of the open internet.

    So essentially you are getting an isp that throws in a free vpn. Sweet, especially if speed is not affected. Current vpn’s play games with servers purposely slowing them down to force you to change servers then creating this pay scale that charges you for x number of server changes.

    If all isp’s hook up with a vpn then it will end this stupid game. I would think an isp could save a lot of money with this because they would no longer have to devote much resources to saving logs and spending time responding to stupid maafia requests and pissing their customers off.

  • X_arash_rocker_x

    still the end of the Tunnel is somewhere in the ISP … so they can still log the data

    • SF

      But they don’t have to since VPNs aren’t covered, thats the whole point, the law requires them to log what ips their users are connecting to (since all users connect exclusivly to the VPN the logging is cheap since they effectivly only have to log when a user turns on or off his computer (or restart the vpn connection)) , the VPN itself isn’t covered by the law (in the current draft).

      The reason those who don’t want to use the VPN have to pay extra is because the logging requirements go through the roof since rather than making one connection to the VPN the user will make tons of connections each time they fetch a website, (accessing a single page can require multiple connections being made, first one to fetch the html code and then additional connections to download images, etc)

  • Adsfw

    Child porn heaven!!

  • Fakkit

    So how can the ISP have any support if there is a problem if they dont even know which IP adress belongs to whom and they wont log. I think there is going to be logs so they can help their costumers.

    This is a cheap trick to get some costumers.

  • Natasha Parkinson

    @Foff – My experience has been totally different with ivpn.net as they dont charge you based on how many servers you connect to. They just offer a flat rate and so far my connection doesn’t seem any different in terms of speed.

    This essentially turns the ISP into the only viewing the websites as far as anyone knows. I love it! We need more of this everywhere.

    Sharing my experience with my current ISP…

    I have been using Talk-Talk (UK) for the past 2 years… back then I signed up for an 8Mb/600Kb + phone line without any data caps.

    Recently they updated their policies and are applying a monthly 40GB cap for the newcomers, however, I haven’t been affected.

    Currently I download an average of 300GB per month, and they even updated my link to 24Mb/s due to the loyalty. So I’m rocking at 2MB/s downlink with reasonable 150KB/s uplink.

    I’m happy with it, but honestly…. Can’t wait to move to Sweden!!!!

    I support this move by Bahnhof.

    The Internet needs to be depolitized and decentralized. The copyright agencies do not own the Internet. Nobody does, actually.
