Title: iPIG private internet gateway
Post by: Bitcoiner on July 18, 2010, 05:14:44 PM
I remember using this in the past, and one of the advantages it had over Tor and I2P is that it automatically encrypts and reroutes all network traffic without requiring any application configuration. I believe it does this by creating a virtual network adapter and sending all traffic through the adapter.

What do you guys think about this? I think Tor/I2P could learn from the network adapter approach, as it gets rid of the whole problem of having to configure applications and wonder if any applications are still "leaking" completely.

You can also do that for any proxy (including Tor and I2P) with Proxifier:

iOpus seems like a normal VPN provider, thats totally different from services like tor or i2p

Yep, but the advantage is that it's very easy to reroute traffic and no worrying about which app is leaking. I just wonder if there's a technical reason why it's not as easy to do this with tor/i2p.
