Internet RECORDS: Encrypt, hide or obfuscate?

[jlrm365]

Internet records to be stored for a year

I am not asking about ethics / opinions. We all have views but, instead, I'd like to see if a question can be answered:

Is there any way to:

- encrypt

- hide

- obfuscate

your internet traffic - at least as far as browsing is concerned - so as to render the stored information useless?

I remember emule having some sort of obfuscation, to combat traffic shaping.

Torrent users can use utorrent and encrypt their traffic. I have used it and always assumed that it leaves the traffic being visible but not what that traffic is.

Is there anything that has the same effect for / on browsing? While we might not be able to hide that we are browsing, can we hide what we are browsing?

I don't know where is the problem. It's an old European Directive written in British law. In France we have the same one from 2004, it's called LCEN.

Go read extensively about VPNs.

Otherwise, even if your internet traffic is encrypted, they can still see what ips you're connecting to.

@spencer42086: read the rules, no support for what you have downloaded.

There is anonymous browsing (do search on Tor). There is also DarkNet. Neither is viable for file sharing since increased anonymity takes priority over performance.
