Topic: How do I hide my internet traffic? (Read 6169 times)
With the way it is here, if a copyright rights holder (say, a big music or movie company) were to go to torrent sites and see a whole list of IP addresses which are being used to illegally share work which they "own", then they could complain to my ISP and give them a letter requesting that my ISP takes action. Before this new law came into force, the ISP was not legally obligated to do anything about this when copyright holders complained. I think the chances of getting caught are minimal as most of the stuff I download is not produced by major record companies (I download a lot of dubstep and drum and bass) and the odd movie every couple of weeks.
The govenment dont care for pirates. believe me. they arnt watching your internet connection! 
Oh yes they certainly care otherwise this law wouldn't have been pushed through http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=Copyright+%28Infringing+File+Sharing%29+Amendment+Bill&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
laws like that have excisted for years lol! over here you get like £50,000 fine per offence... but they only go after large sites that are hosted within the UK

The OP is probably from France. Please dont assume everyone is the from US or that law are equal everywhere.
I'm worried that the government over here is watching what people download, so what is the easiest way to hide my traffic? I'm looking at hiding p2p traffic for Bittorrent downloads and was thinking about setting up a VPN. I'm prepared to pay up to US$10 a month to hide my traffic, but since I'm a complete noob at this kind of thing I'm after something that is as easy as possible to configure as well as giving me a high level of anonymity.

There are new laws where I could get huge fines or my internet connection cut off if a copyright holder complains to my ISP that I've been infringing upon their work by downloading their material from p2p services. It's also "guilty until proven innocent", meaning that they (the ISP, government or copyright holder) don't have to provide any evidence that I have been doing what they could accuse me of. The mere accusation of copyright infringement is enough to be prosecuted.
No thats entirely not true. Anyone could be a copy right holder and then get anyone else charged? nope. you wont get caught doing anything if all your doing is downloading. If your providing links to torrents, or have been uploading the stuff, then theres a 1 in 100,000,000 chance they might care. They couldnt give 2 shits what you download.
A few years ago our house got raided from some fraud aligation that eventually got dropped. as they were taking the computers, they said they are not interested in that. even though my computer was loaded with TB's of warez, they still gave it back!
The most that might happen is your ISP could find out and send you a letter. Thats all i had once, but nothing since. and i carried on.

If you're worried about your mother meeting your porn habit, you browser has a privacy mode. Use it.

You could run your traffic through Tor, and that's free.
what is it?http://tinyurl.com/bjktm7
Not sure how suitable it is for large downloads though. Last time I tried it it was painfully slow even for surfing.
don't use tor for downloading files please.

Some ethical boundaries may be crossed with this one... but you could always borrow the neighbors WiFi and watch the FBI raid their house instead of yours.

ipredator? they choose that for a site name for a vpn service?
what was Iamapedophileandliketolookatchildporn.com was already take?
not suggesting any of you are, it just seems like a bad name for a site to hide your traffic, much like a cloud storage site called myillegaldownloads.com wouldnt be exactly the most brilliant of names.

thank you this is awesome
https://www.ipredator.se/ is pretty good, they are the only vpn i have ever used and i like them. sure your ping will suck because they are based in sweden, but its really good if you just want to chat or download large amounts of data without revealing your real ip address. in addition the traffic is encrypted from the vpn servers to your computer, no isp snooping 
this is awesome thank youyou have to use a credit card to make payment... how is that anonymous?
are there any bitcoin-accepting VPNs on this level yet?
