You could double-encrypt it.


That won't help, since it's a proxied connection.

Well, in China, I have no problem using Skype through my private
encrypted proxy. Just run the small client program, log on to
my proxy, then change my browser settings to use it. It is
encrypted using that product's proprietary encryption
protocol. Becuase its expensive to licence, for large
numbers of users, I rarely allow any outsiders to use
that proxy. I have a Tor entry proxy for public use, instead.
I have been to China twice, since we started using
Skype, and have been able to use Skype, when
doing my talk show on location from China, and have had
no problems with the local authorities, because the people
watching the Great Firewall Of China would have NEVER
been able to figure out what I was up to.

The one and only time I let an outsider use my proxy was
in February of '07 when that one Canadian skater got
injured, and one person, who was a very good friend of
hers, wanted to keep up on what was going on, from her
workplace, without the boss knowing about it, so I gave
her a login and password to my encrypted proxy. She just
then downloaded the client program from my machine,
logged on through that, just changed some browser settings,
and she was surfing GoldenSkate, Figure Skating Universe,
as well as my message board, as well as listening to my
broadcast, and her employer in Canada had no CLUE as
to what she was up to. I am always glad to help another
figure skating fan, especially in a situation like this, where
this one injured skater was this person's dear friend.
Sure, people like Leythos might call what I did unehtical,
but I considered it the human thing to do under this
circumstance.
