I was Executive Security for the Ford Family in Dearborn. X-ray mail machines, also my responsibility.....

One day, I escorted Bill Ford...we were discussing "being everywhere at once etc internet"...and determined that day of work...we both were either caught on camera home, freeway cams, traffic light and business, and card reader, time clock, texting, sign ons....

We estimated from home to car to phone to office ...we all ..you and me are either transmitting, logged in at home on TV, your phone's, devices etc.....10-20 times each day x 7.

Each day...anyone can be logged in to stuff at home, then Facebook, Instagram, work, your kids monitor, Amazon...signons are everywhere.

That's a lot of i.d.ing you everyday, everywhere.

Firewalls! Tor? Other "onions"....you still need their ISPs, VPNs, network, transmitters, receivers, towers, satellites, clouds.

Sorry ..it's stupid to put any of my stuff...nothing....into someone elses"cloud". That....is scary. And the mass flows to the cliff with the lemmings....and leaving personal info unaware....back at the edge of the cliff....in some providers "cloud"? Not me.

Absolutely Nutz. Nutz.

That's true, we leave signatures everywhere.

You can setup a VPN server for yourself for like 2€ a month. It won't hide your identity but it will encrypt your traffic. It's like a network inside a network. Or a hose inside a hose. ISPs have nothing to do with it. It's another layer on top of the TCP/IP, also UDP transport layer protocol.

Of course you need their infrastructure to route your packets, that's a given. Filtering can be done to a level put just like the postal service, the device routing it would have to open the packets to see what's in there. And then also know what it is, in order to block or whatever. That takes time and resources. This happens thousands of times per seconds on any network node that is processing traffic. You would have to hold every single packet, check it and then route it further. That's where VPN have the advantage because all the traffic is wrapped inside that tunnel. So even if someone looks at the packets, they just see another packet they don't know how to open in the correct sequence.

Uploading stuff into the cloud was a bad idea from the beginning in regards of privacy. It depends on what you upload though. I don't use cloud services, there's no need when you have your own infrastructure in place.

The fancy buzzword "cloud" is just describing a fileserver (the cloud) with the capability to synchronize with other fileservers (your device). Fileservers, called a cloud or not, can be hacked.

Did you know that when you print out a sheet of paper with your printer, that there is an invisible code printed somewhere that identifies your printer serial number and model?

If you wear a smart watch, you have a front row seat on the "cloud" where the backdoor is always open.

Ever wonder where and who makes those smart watches. Hint...it's not silicone valley.

And smart watches with cameras....what could possibly go wrong with a convivence like that?
