The sales pitch from 'Anonymiser' is that you need to be protected from identity theft by hiding your IP address.
Tell me Cunliffe. How does a proxy service (be it 'Anonymiser' or otherwise) protect an idiot from clicking on a link in a phishing spam ? How does a proxy service protect an idiot from entering their credit card details on a not so trustworthy website ?
Much like spammers. Criminals will (eventually) find a way around barriers. It's a vicious circle, you think you fix it, they break it ..... etc. etc.
P.S. Not calling anyone here an 'idiot' .... just incase anyone gets their k's in a twist
P.S.P.S. Identity theft doesn't happen with your IP address ..... it happens from what people put into forms that they shouldn't fill in on websites they shouldn't visit !
(yes, I know, it also happens when data goes missing from reputable websites, but that's becoming rarer now that the Visa & co. have become much more rigerous in their vetting process).
Serious question. How would you go about complying with this law?
I run a company with approx 50 PCs attached to the net through a server. Massive amount of official traffic as well as ‘social’ use like this. Additionally there is a wireless router (unsecured) for customer use.
Much the same ways that ISPs comply with the likes of RIPA.
One technique is port mirroring.
If you've got the right kit, it's easy as a quick change to configuration settings.
