Aussie pols want compulsory AV software and firewalls
,----[ Quote ]
| As the Australian Government continues to
| grapple with the issue of how best to
| protect the nation from internet nastiness,
| the House of Representatives Standing
| Committee on Communications has just lobbed
| a major new element into the debate in the
| form of a mega-report on cyber-crime.
|
| [...]
|
| ISPs would be obliged to provide security
| advice, inform users when their IP address
| has been flagged as linked to infected
| machine, and put in place a policy of
| "graduated access restrictions" â with
| disconnection as the ultimate sanction.

Huge privacy flaw found in VPN systems
,----[ Quote ]
| One alternative to PPTP is OpenVPN and
| offers a number of advantages, especially
| as it's free and open-source. It's more
| secure than PPTP, and more stable too,
| though it doesn't work on mobile devices
| natively and isn't quite as easy to set up
| on a computer, especially older machines.
| OpenVPN also has the advantage that it's
| often not blocked in countries where PPTP
| systems are blocked.
