Government investigating Windows 10 compliance on privacy laws.

I get the impression I know a lot more about network and systems security then yourself. Those services can all be made almost entirely secure. But not if you compromise yourself with certain American software such as MS, Google, or Apple products. Ever since the Snowden revelations governments and corporations around the world have been moving to Linux to thwart American NSA spying. I actually provide this as a service to anyone or any business that wishes that level of security. Its not as hard as you think. Its all about paying attention to the details. In short, nothing is ever perfect but a big improvement can be made even for someone using Windows 7/8 versus Windows 10. You see Windows 10 is rooted with tools for the US intelligence establishment, it also gives telemetry back to MS and does not provide the user details of everything it does. This is not like Windows 7 for example. So that is an issue in of itself. Secondly, my network is on a VPN with L2TP encryption. This is the kind the NSA does not know how to break as easily as other encryption types. Next I am whitleisted such that only known hosts can see my network is even online. So for example, if your IP is not whitelisted, than I cannot connect. This is scalable depending on what I am doing. So for example if gaming, I can allow North American residential IP addresses, but block out all Commercial IP's. I also block hostile nations such as Russia, Palestine, North Korea, China and so on and so forth. Next I use a battery of "no tracking/scripting" tools, and differing browsers for different needs. And this is just my light security when there is nothing to hide. If I did have something to hide, I would use a TOR Browser with all of this, or, if really paranoid, a Linux operating system called TAILS. All of this can be done to my desktop, tablet, phone, everything. There is no need to use any consumer device with its stock software and configuration. Lastly, I get "REAL" hackers and pen-test sites to help me test it by paying them. None of this is as hard as you may think. Its all about the right tools. Installing Windows 10 compromises things with its telemetry, at least so is my understanding of it thus far. If you think that private use of the Internet is not possible, you may want to do a little reading. It is very much a possibility and more and more people are taking steps. I charge people $200USD to setup such a suite of tools. Most of them just want to be able to download bit torrents anonymously without fear of a law firm coming after them for copyright infringement. And, since the USA graciously has not made any retention laws, VPN providers can offer you an address without any log connecting you to them at any time. SO, unless you compromise yourself with Windows 10 or some other spyware, they have no way to extract your private information. Think about it, if my network only responded to a single IP address, only that one person could see me and communicate. The rest of the world won't even see me as being online. And if they try to catch on at the switch at the ISP with the black boxes they place in data centers, all they see is L2TP encrypted traffic. They would have to really want to know what im doing to go to the trouble of breaking that, and only then would they realize that I go to all this trouble to be a secure cord cutter watching Sunday night tv shows with security on par to an intelligence agency.
