program that covers web tracks

    Okay - I remember reading an article a few years back about a program that Chinese web surfers used to confuse servers so the pages they viewed online could not be tracked.

    I've heard that Clearwire the new broadband package gives low priority to P2P networks and so virtually disables them for people using Clearwire. I was wondering if you used one of these programs mentioned could you actually access them properly?

    Any ideas what these programs are called? where they are available?

    TOR perhaps?

    I'm not sure the chinese website issue is the same as the one you are having
    It all depends on how isps actual block the P2P traffic.

    1 By port

    if its by port you can change th port number in your Btorrent client ( why use any other P2P method) to any port in the unreserved range . They cant be all blocked !!!!.

    1 By file extension.

    They can really do this cause it would block out alot of legal stuff also

    3 By Stateful inspection

    most ISP's will not bother to invest in high end SI firewalls because when you think about the whole P2P thing has driven up the demand for broadband and there is alot of choice out there for customers (if you re in Dublin)

    IMO that is......

    ISP's will invest in filtering out torrent/p2p traffic because it costs them lots of money in bandwidth. They all wanna keep the bb users who just do a bit of web surfing and check their mail. Users who are very light on p2p and just get an occasional mp3 arn't going to be hit by most rate limiting alot...so it suits them fine to choke it completely... (its been doing by several ISP's all over the world...port rate limiting is just well known to be quite ineffective...)

    moving to net/comms - not really security since OP is looking for a package not a methodology

    some ISP's also lump their heaviest users together so they are in contention with each other, not too sure if clearwire are one of them

    anonmyous proxies could also be used, but when all the well known ones could easily be closed down, and a client only having traffic to one place would stand out like a sore thumb so you would have to do a bit of obstrufication, spread the traffic around. it's an arms race, as each loophole is found it's plugged.

    in this part of the world have a look at anonymous proxies that allow you to connect with a HTTPS session so all traffic from you to them is encrypted.

    It's a service and you would most likely to suscribe and pay for it.



    most of the stuff you see on the internet is designed to stop the Web site seeing who you are, not to stop the ISP from seeing where you are going.

    You might ask on the security forum about METHODS to do this.

    PS. check with the terms and conditions of your ISP , by law they have to keep records on where you go to (for 3 years ?) in case they have a clause there.

    They don't need highend firewalls to filter p2p , some of the wireless OSs (about 40euro ) can filter it

    Isn't there a new version of Firefox that allows you to surf the internet anonymously?
