There's also the inverse - if your WiFi isn't uncrackable (given?) and the same happens, what is your likely defense? Running open might offer some protection against that scenario. Granted, not technical problems. Your concern is real though, a guy in Germany running a Tor exit node was raided/beaten and held in jail for that kind of traffic. -Bill -- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Cell: 603.252.2606 Twitter, etc.: bill_mcgonigle Page: 603.442.1833 Email, IM, VOIP: b...@bfccomputing.com Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
