Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder for Europol

PET-enabled home routing allows for secure communication, hindering law enforcement's ability to intercept and monitor communications

Europol suggests solutions such as disabling PET technologies and implementing cross-border interception standards to address the issue.

as a neteng for 20+ years, what the hell is "home routing"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Home routing is when you connect a cable to your PC and the wall. Your home then uses that connection to join the Dark Web, and you allow hackers to stay at your home temporarily to escape the government. Those hackers jump from house to house, evading the authorities.

My understanding after reading the article is: while roaming your phone sets up a VPN type thing with your phone provider, and routes calls and data through this tunnel, so now Europol has to deal with another country if they want to track you.

I am in dire need of such solution just because I moved with Europe but don't want to let go my old number, fortunately I visit one 6 months but what if I pass the deadline?
Besides Google won't let me use my Balance unless I have that specific counties card in phone and it's active... If you know how to do it let me know.

It's a process of telling houses where to go. Why do you think homes never get lost?

It's basically when you drag an Ethernet cable behind you wherever you go, with the other end still plugged into your home switch.

So that's what those massive 1000 foot Ethernet cables are for!
