I never go on the porn sites .... but may frequent a few downloading sites  

Its not the sex sites this technology tracks - its ALL sites. So it can learn what interests you, then fire very targetted ads at you.

This happens already on most websites with ad banners - the ad cookies track you around the web. Only because it relies on a cooksie locally on you PC, its easy to disable, or better still, fool.

Phorn does the same as these tracking cookies, but at the ISP level, so much harder to find a way round.

Earlier versions of Phorn were at DNS level, so easily bypassed.  Not looked at the current technology they use now.

Oh dear Skruntie!!  

With all the 'assorted' and 'colourful' sites you visit that we see evidence of, I just wonder what you will be bombarded with!

I dont give a Monkeys, All I can say is that I dont go on sites that I need to be worried about.  Lets face it, I know web sites track my movements, I know Plus Net are devious, I am aware all my emails go through a processing centre.

Is Big Brother Watching me.  Of course he is.

But the email Checker cant read this.



And if it can then it understands my point.
