Setting Up a Dedicated VPN Connection for Privacy (After US Congress Just Dismantled ISP Privacy)

I have a client that has a vacation home in Mexico.  He wanted to be able to surf everywhere from there in case the Mexican government began filtering Internet access.  We chose to do this with a RED tunnel so that we could use Multipath rules and QoS.  You should test both with compression on and off to see whether your devices are powerful enough to make compression an advantage.

The situation isn't any different than it's been, nor would the new rules have made any difference in what your ISP can know about you - they just would have had to make it a part of their terms of service and disclose it to you. The only real difference is that you're now conscious of the extent to which our lives are an open book.

Two years ago, I decided to get a new kitchen faucet.  I looked at many different ones online over a period of three days.  Even three months after I bought it, I was still seeing faucet ads in Facebook and the free solitaire app I played.  If you use Google, shop online or at Walmart, follow people on LinkedIn or Facebook, etc., you are already a known quantity.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from doing this, just saying that there's not much one can do about the overall issue.
