Re: CryptoSeal VPN shuts down rather than risk NSA demands for crypto keys
as far as I can see, there is literally no way of getting around this issue except by onion routing. 
This is sure to drive even more users to TOR, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing in the long run.
Do you really think the NSA can't trace TOR? Something like 60% of TORs development money came from the US Govt. This is sure to drive even more users to TOR, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing in the long run.
Enlighten me: How exactly do they get thru onion routing?
The answer: They can't.
There is a huge difference between legitimate parts of the government and illegitimate parts.
They can "deanonymize" some users, they just need to control enough nodes.
