[SATLUG] How to retain one's privacy on the internet?

[Sean Carolan]

This one's for you security folks:

How can a person keep all of his Internet traffic and stored files
encrypted?  Assume this applies to a computer user who browses the
web, sends and receives email, and has data files stored on a local
disk.

It is not possible to encrypt web traffic end-to-end in most cases.
The second part of my question would therefore be, what's the best
solution for a reliable, fast proxy server, paid or free?  Privacy,
speed, and high availability are concerns.


thanks
