Hmmm... Until privacy is a feature across many/most hosting services, anyone specializing it is, in effect, identifying traffic that is likely to be /more/ interesting for those wishing to inspect the data. In other words, anything that explicitly identifies traffic as attempting greater privacy is likely to be a greater target for attack. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
