May 25, 2015 at 7:11 | comment | added | Pacerier | @drjimbob, Regarding "if you went to 69.59.197.21 its stackexchange.com", Does IPSec solve the ip-leaking problem? Are there even ways to solve this problem? | |
Oct 5, 2013 at 5:33 | comment | added | dr jimbob | @LateralFractal - Agree that wireless is easier to eavesdrop than wired. However, in addition to governments, includes anyone upstream of your network connection can eavesdrop/alter your traffic. Including for example your ISP, or network administrators at your work, etc can intercept unencrypted wired traffic. | |
