In article <ftk796$2vg$1@xxxxxxxx>, chilly8@xxxxxxxxxxx says...
I merely set up a VPN tunnel, where
someone can log onto my machine, and have all my server handling
all the traffic.

And it stand out in a firewall like a flare on a dark night - even
easier to spot than a proxy connection.

One use for my VPN server is when I go to countries that heavily
censor the Internet. I can bypass the local censorship by using
a VPN connection to my server elsewhere. With the strong
encryption, I cannot be monitored by government censors,
very handy when I go to China, or Cuba, an average of once
a year to broadcast figure skating events. I completely bypass
the local censors, since the connection cannot be analysed,
cracked, monitored, or sniffed. If, say, Hotmail, is blocked,
I can VPN to my server,. and log on to Hotmail that way,
and the local government censors will NEVER know what I
am up to.

If I want to read certain blocked Western news sources, while
in China, such as the BBC, or CNN, or a few Australian
news outlets, I can do that, and there is no POSSIBLE way
the censors in China would know what I was up to, becuase
of the encrypted connection to my server. So I can do pretty
much what I want, no matter what part of the world I go to,
and local censors cannot monitor me.

You could get someone jailed or killed.

Back in the 60's, I had a friend in Cuba that I used to play chess with via
amateur radio using Morse code.

American amateurs and Cuban amateur radio operators were allowed to
communicate but we had to avoid politically hot topics.

One day, we were in the middle of a chess game when he told me to wait...
someone was knocking on his door.

He never came back to finish the game.
I never heard him on the radio again.

I suspect that Cuban radio monitors thought that our chess moves were
encrypted messages.

I don't know if he just lost his license or his life.

As I said, you could be in danger yourself and those that use your service
could be in danger.

It doesn't matter WHAT the content is, the fact that the authorities can
not read it could be enough to get someone killed. You need to realize that
you are 'playing with fire' and think carefully about the possible
consequences and the fact that you may have to live with never knowing what
happened to someone.
