Excerpt: I recently listened to Packet Pushers Show 72 on “How we are killing the internet” and want to voice my thoughts on the topics discussed. The majority of the conversation circled around IPv6 adoption, and the state of the internet in light of the existence of tunneling mechanisms being used. Ivan mentioned that we are destroying the internet with all the tunnels (PPPoE, PPPoA, 6to4, 4to6, 6rd, etc) and translation points. The preference should always be to just route packets, but the majority of the internet isn’t dual-stack yet so even the early adopters of IPv6 still need tunnels. Unfortunately, tunneling can…

Unless your school, work or other bought their filter technology more than 4 years or so ago, they can still see the header of your packets and where they’re headed. Even if you have a proxy set up remotely, they’ll still see that the request is eventually headed to, say, facebook, and will break the connection. No, you have to encrypt the ENTIRE stream. This is done with a simple SSH server on the server-side, can be a laptop, or thin client if…
