It takes skill but the NSA CIA FBI Interpol and many other organisations can do it with ease all it takes is time to track the location so the more you spoof your ip the more longer it will take them to find ya.

I just dont buy this FUD about three letter agencies running all VPNs. No evidence to support this. In fact many VPN have flat out told them they have no logs when data was requested.

Man, this whole thing is run by them, if you think they dont know what any given person is up to, it might be safe to add another level to your paranoia and start assuming they know someone who knows what your up to.

Your writing style and compare it with other identities you have not masked online, they could control the ISP you use or rather have access to either willingly or they hacked the ISP and have backdoors to it.

When they got their suspicion they go look what ISP you pay for and send a request or they have access already or use a backdoor into the ISP and then monitor your traffic at the ISP and then the supiscion is either confirmed or you were not the one they were looking for.

And also there's plenty of programs that send shit to the makers and those makers probably like to share or they're hacked.

Also there's the data gathering centers, like Echelon.
Sweden has a ginormous data collecting center with the Swedish FRA
Pretty cool logo:

Here's the swedish wiki about Försvarets Radioanstalt:
[link to sv.wikipedia.org (secure)]

it catches all traffic from Russia that goes between Russia and the US from say Moscow.

Some detective work but they can find you.
They found that guy Sabu of LulzSec and he was way more careful than most.
[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

still he messed up in one point and they got him.

there's probably more ways to find out who people are, the experts here will probably tell us.

There's something I want OP to know.

If you think and act like you're always being watched. You won't do anything stoopid, because you'll think whoever is watching you knows everything.

We can safely say that everyone is being watched, or at least we should think so and act accordingly.

Only way to avoid extreme paranoia is to not use any form of communication at all. They aren't that competent yet. Ive even read some cases where they basically gave up on the investigation because of a VPN.

I think it's safer to assume they do have the means and are looking at everyone.

Don't do anything stoopid and nothing bad will happen to you.

The people with the motives and means can troll through your meta data at their leisure. All they need is for you to ping one of their interests and they'll find your entire internet history.

Yes, I agree its safe to assume that they are recording encrypted coms. Im not so sure they can just "troll" through encrypted communication at thier leisure. Itrs. Likley a bit more complicated, costly and time consuming than that.

You are assuming that these places basically have encryption keys for everything. While its safe to assume they do for safety reasons. Its likley that they dont given the push to ban encryption by most of the 5 ayes.

Look anything can be tracked by a state actor if its valuable enough. Doesnt mean a VPN is not a usefull tool to avoid data mining by corporations and hackers.

The VPNs are all owned or controlled by the insurrection.

If you start a VPN service and don't cooperate you get squished.

Even at that they probably don't bother because all the VPN software likely has back doors.

If the software doesn't the operating system does.

If the operating system doesn't the hardware does.

If the hardware didn't they have brainwashed and hypnotized about everyone and you not only won't start a VPN service to begin with but you would screw it up on purpose if you did.
