Governments blocking Maidsafe

@neo

This has been mentioned by the dev team as an essential part of SAFE. I am just not sure which methods they are going to use

@dirvine

ATM we are multi port multi protocol encrypted and obfuscated (now there is a large area of discussion) comms. We can go from there

Note that when @dirvine says “obfuscated” in this context he is not talking about protocol obfuscation as in disguising the traffic as another protocol. As I read it David is just saying that by encrypting (and randomised ports), traffic is “pretty obfuscated”. From above post:

@dirvine

crust is multi protocol, randomised port networking. With added encryption then it’s pretty obfuscated.

So AFAIK true protocol obfuscation like the Tor references above are not currently part of the Crust design. If the EU passes that legislation then it could become a must-have.
