ANON: Anon.penet.fi no more

>>> The anonymous service at anon.penet.fi has been closed down.

This is a dark day indeed. The forces of Repression are upon us yet again.

OK, where do we set up the next one? I guess the solution here is to have a
floating set of difficult-to-detect anon remailers and switch between them
regularly.

Someday, when I can afford the hardware, I vow to provide this service and
not be harrassed into shutting down. Toward this end, it would be great if
Julf could post a list of the sys admin's who were instrumental in shutting
down penet.fi. I think all of us should be made aware of their presence for
future reference.

And now, Upward!

They won't harrass you, they'll harrass your connectivity provider.

To this end, it would be beneficial to collect connectivity policies
in the face of complaints from the major service providers.  Alternet,
for starters, and all the others I'm not really familiar with.

I learned a couple of weeks ago that Sprint is now offering IP
connectivity direct.  I would guess that Sprint has a good track
record from being in the long distance business for not telling their
customers to go away because someone they are talking to doesn't like
what they are saying.

To wit: who can I buy IP from who will not disconnect me unless I
don't pay?
