The question is what is really secure?

Running Telegram, over multiple VPN's?

Accessing Gmail over multiple VPN's so Google doesnt get to know where you are 'really' logging on from?

Making your own VPN network over a combination of AWS, G-Cloud, Azure, DO and Aliyun to 'hide' your actual location?

Peoples thoughts?

Fantastic Article, Fantastic fine. Well done.

As a telecoms engineer predominantly selling Asterisk for the last 4 years and Asterisk experiance extending back to 2006 it's shocking to see this finally put right. For so many years, I have avoided the e1000 Intel controllers after a very public/embarassing situation when a conferencing server behaved in a wierd manner disrupting core services. Not having the expertise the author has, I narrowed it down to the Eth. Controller, Immediately replaced the server with IBM Hardware with Broadcom chipset and resumed our services in providing conferencing to some of the top FTSE100 companies.

Following this episode, I spend numerous days diagnosing the chipset with many conference calls with Digium engineers debugging the server remotely. In the end, no solution, recommendation to avoid the e1000 chipset and moved on.

For those interested, Prestel was a great service too. Early days of investing and retriving historical data on companies via 4tel's Shares 3000 pages was the only way for private investors to get data freely. Investing could be done by dial-up using the prestel platform.
