Servers and Tos

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have to agree with you there Allex. I mean all a cable isp really knows
is Cable TV. If you are really paranoid about an isp finding your services
encrypt all your traffic so they can't prove a thing. Use 2048-bit SSL on
an Ircd or something. Sometimes one has to sacrifice speed for security...

if you want uncapped bandwidth you need a business plan. charter has 
an uncapped plan but they charge you through the ass for it.
they did rais the cap on their residential services to 2 mb down for 
the time being but they still block ports. even If they didn't block 
them I'd still run servers. they're too stupid to find them and they 
probably don't even no what a server is. or even a computer

Always borrow money from a pessimist; he doesn't expect to be paid
