Hi Gustav:

If you could guarantee unanimity of anonymous surfing and absolute identity privacy...being as you are a CSIS dealer, I would be very interested.

Hi Mark

Yes, and at the same time Google's recordings of your doings will cease (if you don't use Chrome or Gmail, of course).

Hi Gustav

so in a house, or in a small company, is the means of using SecureDNS to set the external DNS lookup to a special IP address, IOW, in my house I would put my router to point to secureDNS server instead of 8.8.8.8 and that it, the whole house is protected ?

If it was like that, it looks good??
