@johnpoz:
"don't let your ISP know buy a VPN "
Yeah lots of people say this - especially the guys selling vpns ;) heheeheh
Its got to be one of the most hyped up buzz words currently.. Next to dns leak - both of which I am just sick of hearing to be honest.. Idiots don't have a clue how dns works at all - but now they are freaking out they might have a dns leak… Oh my gawd, my isp might know I did a query for pfsense.org.... And wtf they know I go to amazon.com and facebook --- F'ing Bastards spying on me ;)
Yeah there is more to it than that though. There are methods I do not fully understand that content providers are using DNS to geolocate.
Watched one guy try to get a baseball game and couldn't due to regional blackout then switched to some DNS spoofer (no VPN or anything, just new DNS servers.) I said "it's not going to work" then it god damn worked like a charm. All season. I can't remember the name of the service but it's what they do.
So there is more to it than rampant, unjustified paranoia.
