[Crypto-chi] torrenting and anonymity

[Freddy Martinez]

Hi folks,

I wrote a short guide. Please note that copyright laws are different
in every country and you should *always* follow the law.

* First get a computer (You might want to consider a VPS but for best
results I suggest a refurbbed computer from Free Geek Chicago. Pay
cash.)
* Find your VPN provider. Many accept cash or BTC but if you must use
a credit card, I recommend paying cash for a prepaid gift card that
you find near the checkout counter at Target, Walmart etc). Use that
card to pay for your VPN.
* Configure your internet connection to go over VPN (important that
your UDP packets go over VPN as well as your TCP packets. Most
competent VPNs will do this of course).
* Note: I don't recommend using your real name when registering with
the VPN service if you want to be psuedo anonymous.
* Have fun.

P.S. Sony recently tested a variety of VPN providers... The results
can be found through in their emails on Wookie Leaks.
