\"Headless<\/a>Your ISP is going to spy on you starting July 12, 2012<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One year ago, the RIAA and the MPAA organized a project with the largest internet service providers in the US to begin monitoring their customer\u2019s internet activity. \u00a0This monitoring was introduced as a joint coalition to combat piracy. \u00a0A list of providers that are on board includes, but is not limited to, Time Warner, Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon and AT&T.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to CNet\u2019s Greg Sandoval<\/a>, Cary Sherman of the RIAA has announced this week that deployments of the spying tools are nearly prepared and a tentative launch of July 12, 2012 has been set.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that there will be consequences for users who are caught pirating digital media. \u00a0First offenses may include forced educational rehabilitation as well as throttled connection speeds. \u00a0There have also been discussions stating that the top 200 websites will become inaccessible for users who are caught pirating.<\/p>\n

However, the fact that ISPs are able to detect this activity indicates that they will be spying on their users.<\/p>\n

Tips to protect your privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using the internet, as well as using the internet to fileshare, is completely legal. \u00a0Here are ways to protect your privacy when engaging in legal activities:<\/p>\n

1. Use an\u00a0anonymous VPN service<\/a>. \u00a0For us, not only is it obligatory to recommend a VPN, but in general, this is also the most widely accepted solution<\/strong> to privatize internet traffic. \u00a0VPN services provide tunnels which are completely encrypted. \u00a0Your ISP will not be able to monitor your connection. \u00a0Additionally, every application will communicate through the VPN without any manual configuration. \u00a0Bonus points for paying with anonymous crypto-currencies like\u00a0Bitcoin<\/a>, but for no log VPN services it is not necessary.\u00a0UPDATE:<\/strong>\u00a0Be sure to disable\u00a0Google Web History<\/a>\u00a0and use Chrome in Incognito mode to gain even more privacy!<\/p>\n

Difficult:<\/strong>\u00a0Easy
\nCost:<\/strong>\u00a0Paid
\nPros:<\/strong>\u00a0All applications are encrypted. \u00a0Your ISP will not be able to spy on you.
\nCons:<\/strong>\u00a0Paid service.
\nRecommended:<\/strong>\u00a0\u272e<\/strong>\u272e<\/strong>\u272e<\/strong>\u272e<\/strong>\u272e<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Use an ssh based SOCKS5 proxy. \u00a0You can run a local SOCKS5 proxy with the distributed ssh client in *nix and Mac OS X as well as PuTTY for Windows. \u00a0In Windows, simply set the options for PuTTy. \u00a0 In Mac OS X and *nix, simply connect via SSH like:<\/p>\n

ssh -D <port> (<user>@)<server><\/pre>\n
Afterwards, simply open your application and manually configure it to connect to the SOCKS5 proxy running on the above specified port on the\u00a0localhost (or 127.0.0.1)<\/em>. UPDATE: <\/strong>In FF, you will need to route DNS traffic through the ssh tunnel as well \u2013 enter \u201cabout:config\u201d in the address bar and search for\u00a0network.proxy.socks_remote_dns<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/strong>Set the value to true<\/em>.<\/div>\n
Difficulty:<\/strong> Medium<\/div>\n
Cost:<\/strong> Paid (free if you already have a *nix shell)<\/div>\n
Pros:<\/strong> Can be free if you already have a shell (like developers)<\/div>\n
Cons:<\/strong> Manual configuration. \u00a0Does not protect all applications.<\/div>\n
Recommended:<\/strong>\u00a0\u272e<\/strong>\u272e<\/strong>\u272e<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
UPDATE:<\/strong><\/p>\n
3. Tor<\/a>\u00a0is an amazing tool for obtaining privacy and anonymity. \u00a0For all your regular browsing needs, Tor is ideal, and best of all, it\u2019s absolutely free. \u00a0However, Tor is not recommended when using\u00a0heavy peer to peer file sharing protocols.<\/p>\n
Difficult:<\/strong> Easy
\nCost:<\/strong> Free
\nPros:<\/strong> Very anonymous and completely free.
\nCons:<\/strong> Slow and unable to do heavy p2p.
\nRecommended:<\/strong>\u00a0\u272e<\/strong>\u272e<\/strong>\u272e<\/strong><\/p>\n
UPDATE #2<\/strong>:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One reader has suggested a few options:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. I2P<\/a><\/div>\n
5. Freenet<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Protect your privacy.<\/strong><\/div>\n
