Privacy Hardware Accellerator

Janus Device - sits between your router and PC

Readers of this blog will know we are interested in privacy ensuring systems - we call them "obfusticators" - that help to disguise the electronic footprint and leave one less open to datascrapers like (insert your favourite Search Engine here for starters....). News this am of an interesting hardware based system from JanusVM (who also do software obfusticators).

It works with one or more IP compatible devices. This device is a small router.
Place it between your PC and your existing router, cable modem, or DSL modem and all your traffic is routed over Tor or OpenVPN.
If you place it between a switch and the existing router, all the traffic that leaves the switch is re-routed through Tor or OpenVPN.

Let the privacy arms race begin...... I wonder if equipment like this will be standard in domestic routers by next year?
