Watching porn in South Africa could put your name on a government list

Isn't everyone on a government list anyway?

I really should read the articles before posting.
 
Seriously!?! Does our government really think they can control the internet? Say I post something on YouTube and the video is hosted on a Googly server outside of South Africa they can hold their breath until their heads explode and YouTube won't remove it unless it violates their (YouTube) T&Cs. So they ban YouTube completely; Can still access it with VPN; Ban VPN services? Switch to non-SA proxy; Ban all proxy services? Really unenforceable if you ask me.

Now, next question "user’s name, address and age will be captured in the register and the CEO of the Films and Publications Board will have access to this register"; Cool, where will you get my name, address and age? Are you going to base it off the Dynamic IP address allocated to me by my ISP? What about my "I don't have any of your personal details an I get paid via PayPal VPN"? Will you take down that dynamic not in SA IP address and attempt to tie it to me? How do you plan on doing this?

These retards have a good idea, especially when it comes to combating so called "Revenge Porn". And I fully support coming down hard and with maximum prejudice on the individuals that post this.

Thats not how incognito works...

Let me touch on that for one second. All incognito mode does is prevent your browser from keeping history and temporary files (like cookies) after the browser window has closed. Keep in mind that if you're not forcing your router or device to use a DNS provider other than whatever your ISP is dishing out your ISP will have a nice detailed account of every single URL that you're hitting. If you use for instance the Google public DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) all your ISP sees is a UDP packet going from your public IP to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 on port 53, after that they will see the public IP of the URL and the ports that you're connecting to/from; This is not fool proof as a reverse lookup will give some indication of what you were looking at.

Likewise, with a proxy service all that happens is that your traffic (generally browser based) will go to another server that will make the request on your behalf. However no encryption takes place and a little bit of packet sniffing may reveal a whole lot of information. Also the proxy provider will have a stupid amount of information with regards to your browsing habits.

Now with a VPN things get interesting. What your ISP will see is a connection to a remote IP and a port. Everything will be encrypted between you and the VPN provider. You will get a private IP address on the VPN providers LAN (something like 10.0.0.41/30) and that IP will have a NAT to a public IP that the VPN provider has. So even when you do a DNS query, it will be encrypted until it leaves the VPN tunnel.

Want to see what a DNS query looks like :

0000 48 f8 b3 26 df 49 ba ba ba ba ba ba 08 00 45 00 H..&.I........E.
0010 00 38 66 bd 00 00 80 11 02 0c c0 a8 01 34 08 08 .8f..........4..
0020 08 08 d5 39 00 35 00 24 44 8f 00 03 01 00 00 01 ...9.5.$D.......
0030 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 67 6f 6f 67 6c 65 03 63 6f .......google.co
0040 6d 00 00 01 00 01 m.....

Hey, will you look at that. IP address 192.168.1.52 queried 8.8.8.8 for google.com.

c0 a8 01 34 - Translates to 192.168.1.52
08 08 08 08 - Translates to 8.8.8.8
d5 39 - Source port 5485
00 35 - Destination port 53
06 67 6f 6f 67 6c 65 03 63 6f 06 67 6f 6f 67 6c 65 03 63 6f - Translates to google.com

Exactly. It even warns you in the new window. (Chrome at least)

Oh wrt to packet sniffing, the amount of time I've spent with wireshark... its like a whole new world that opened for me the first time I played with it.

I would love to see what goes down if they ever get far enough to even try this, maybe China will help them out since they are comrades in arms , anyway i'm certain there are enough extremely well connected and competent white /black/ grey and whatever other color hat out there who will have a field day attacking the services if this ever happens
